Kenny Han was another poker guy busted in this. I've heard of him, but don't really know him.

Berkey talked about this game 2 years ago on his now-defunct Only Friends show. Go to the 45 second mark where it starts.
He claimed it was "around 2019", so apparently this game was going on for a long time in LA and Vegas, before moving to NY.
Berkey had been invited to the game but refused to go, because of "who was involved", presumably Hennen. He said that some of the Vegas poker pros he knew kept returning to the game, refusing to believe they were being cheated, and just thinking that the megafish got lucky.

Druff may have to do "emergency Vampire radio" over this
Here was a poker table with an X-Ray camera under it:
Co-conspirator Robert Stroud was retarded enough to text about the whole thing, and in fact his texts were stored on iCloud, so they were easy for the feds to retrieve. LOL!
Notice the 2019 dates. This checks out with what Berkey said.
Shane Hennen, who also used iCloud to store things, had this photo of a dismantled Deckmate 2 shuffle machine -- one which can be modified to cheat poker and blackjack games.
Hennen is believed to have been involved in supplying these machines for some of the games.
I never used the word "emergency" in my posts, one of the resident liberals added it in. But yeah, once the sun does down, Vampire Radio needs to fire up!

In case you're wondering, they approached me -- I didn't approach them. That's been true for all of my media appearances and interviews.

New piece of info which isn't getting much attention:
Apparently Jontay Porter was a degenerate who had gambling debt, and was threatened by the mob that he will suffer consequences if he doesn't either pay or agree to participate in their gambling scam.
This could possibly explain Billiups and Jones doing it, too, though right now there's nothing stated regarding that.
Porter has admitted to helping rig prop bets, and is awaiting sentencing. Shane Hennen was arrested for involvement in that one, as well, in an indictment earlier this year.
This SI article claims that the league is much more worried about the implications of Jones' actions, even though Billups is the much bigger name: https://www.si.com/nba/damon-jones-n...mbling-scandal
It seems that the inside information about Lebron sitting out games came directly from Jones, who had befriended Lebron at the time, hence was privy to this info.
One of the big concerns right now is that the affable Jones cozied up to Lebron and the Lakers in order to gain access to lots of nonpublic information in the 2022-23 season, and they're afraid that the fallout from this will be especially bad. Even though there's a high chance Lebron knew nothing about this, Jones' actions have drawn the game's biggest star into this awful situation. Basically Lebron befriended and trusted a guy who was shipping out private info to organized crime, for purposes of illegal insider betting.
According to the article, without the Jones part, NBA execs felt they could weather the storm regarding Rozier and Billups, as these could be dismissed as isolated cases of two players and one coach acting badly. However, Jones' actions will make lots of people wonder -- how many other NBA insiders are rigging bets?
The only saving grace here is that Jones is not accused (to my knowledge) of rigging game outcomes -- only reporting nonpublic info to this cheating ring.
The FBI didn't get everyone....yet. Another shoe is about to drop. Stay tuned.
En boca cerrada, no entran moscas
Have you heard something? Or is this just a guess?
Oh, and I just read that Hennen was aware the hammer was about to fall on him regarding the Porter thing, and booked an international flight in January 2025.
The feds got to him first, and arrested him at Las Vegas airport, and he's been in jail ever since.
Point shaving, fixing and referees cheating is always basketball. Miss me with that sport
FWIW, Damon Jones has always been a friend of Lebron James, going back to their playing days. After he retired, he probably only even got the assistant coaching job on the Cavs because Lebron arranged it. He didn't need to "cozy up" to him for nefarious purposes. He only had to exploit the relationship he already had.
