From the indictment:
"The defendant SHANE HENNEN, also known as “Sugar,” was a resident of Pennsylvania. HENNEN organized Rigged Games, provided cheating technology to other co-conspirators in the Scheme to use in Rigged Games in exchange for a portion of the criminal proceeds from the Rigged Games, and was also a member of the Cheating Teams."
Shane Hennen was involved in the Mars Irvine game rigging allegations, which was a scandal in the poker community in 2022.
Matt Berkey posted at the time that he knew Hennen from Pittsburgh, and that Hennen had been cheating many times before. The two of them went at each other on Twitter, though it appeared Hennen showed up on Twitter mainly to defend himself.
I already believed the Mars game was full of cheating (Nik Airball was one of the victims), but with Hennen being busted for the same thing here, it's basically a lock.
