Sentences continue to trickle in in the splashy New York "poker underworld" case from last year that saw 34 people, including high-stakes poker pro Justin "BoostedJ" Smith, charged with running an illegal gambling business.
Appearing in court yesterday was one of the games' coordinators, Edwin Ting, who was sentenced to five months in prison and forced to forfeit $2m. According to the New York Daily News:
"The 42-year-old 'ran what was likely the largest and most high-profile illegal poker (game) in New York City for years,' prosecutors said in a pre-sentence letter, asking for a six to 10-month sentence. 'These games attracted celebrities, Wall Street financiers and other wealthy individuals, as well as individuals associated with organized crime.'
"Ting regularly took a rake ... making millions of dollars in the process, prosecutors said. He agreed to forfeit $2 million as part of his plea deal."
Ting was also previously jailed in 2005 for operating another "illegal gambling business" the Daily News said.
Among the players said to have played in the high-stakes cash-games at fancy hotels include MLB star Alex Rodriguez, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire.
