Money Belonging To High-Stakes Poker Player Dan Bilzerian 'Not Exactly Clean,' Says ReportVice Article Makes Allegations Money Came From Father |
|
Businessman and high-stakes poker play Dan Bilzerian is known for showing off his wealth and status on social media. On Thursday, his online persona was the subject of an in-depth article by Vice.com that makes the claim that Bilzerian “is a beneficiary of—and party to—white collar crimes committed by his father,” as the author put it.
The article doesn’t dispute that Bilzerian continues to make money and is a huge winner from private poker games, but it alleges that he got his start thanks to his father Paul, who, in 1989, was convicted of fraud and served 13 months in federal prison.
The article admits that “it’s hard to definitively prove” some of its claims, “but all signs point to” them.
From the report:
But there’s at least one other reason Dan Bilzerian has made so much money: He had a ton of it to begin with. And that money wasn’t exactly clean. Public records reveal that Dan Bilzerian has been a party to a byzantine network of corporations, companies, and other business formulations designed to protect the assets of his white-collar criminal father Paul Bilzerian from the government, and that the 34-year-old Instagram star has been a beneficiary of trusts established by his old man in the 90s—at a time when dad owed tens of millions of dollars to the feds.
Back in April, Bilzerian was playing a form of poker with U.S. Senator Rand Paul. That happened not long after Bilzerian resolved a bomb-making charge in Nevada. Controversy is nothing new to the man who claims he once won $10.8 million in a single poker session.
