PokerNews has obtained exclusive documentation detailing why federal authorities accused retired NBA star Gilbert Arenas of running alleged illegal poker games, and it all ties back to a losing player's unpaid $1.2 million poker debt.
The case against the former Washington Wizard in Los Angeles began when a man approached police and claimed he had been threatened over the aforementioned debt.
According to a search warrant affidavit reported by the Los Angeles Times, the man claimed to have lost the seven-figure sum in a single night playing poker in "the glass house," a four-story property that was previously rented by singer Justin Bieber and hosted a 2015 Grammy party for Meek Mill.
