Pants-Dropping World Series Of Poker Player Indicted For Terrorism

Ken Strauss, a man who went viral with several videos depicting his antics during the 2019 World Series of Poker main event, has been indicted on terrorism charges following a series of disturbing posts on social media.

The Pittsburgh sports super fan was disqualified during day 1c of the $10,000 buy-in main event after he went all-in blind, exposed his hole cards, mooned his opponents, and then threw his shoes on the table. Later that night, he was arrested after dropping his pants while standing on a craps table at the Luxor.

A couple weeks later, Strauss found himself once again in hot water, this time for posts he made on Twitter that referenced Las Vegas shootings and tagged President Donald Trump.

I bet the naked bandit story isn’t really important right now.? There wasn’t any prop bets. Just decided to introduce myself that way. What’s important is all the @WSOP poker friends I’ve made. You’re all important to me and I promise you’ll never see my penis again! #WSOP

I’m also sick of being a mental health cause. And I’m on drugs and all your insults. I simply am just a little smarter then you. At all costs! Except for my daughter @sarina she’s the brains in the family. I love you so much! #

Wow my life has taken an interesting turn of events. I’m really sorry for all the apparent false Tweets. And you know what, I’m a sick fuck! I’m happy our 13 year old is dead! Keep killing the Children! @POTUS

In a town still reeling from the deadliest mass shooting in history, law enforcement wasn’t going to take any chances. Strauss was arrested for the tweets in late July, and he posted the $20,000 bond the next day.

Following a court hearing on Friday, Aug. 29, Nevada Chief District Judge Linda Bell has indicted Strauss for making threats of an act of terrorism. His bond has now been set at $150,000 and he is due back in court Sept. 5.
