She is arrested along with 33 others. But she is the only one they photograph.
Go figure?!

She is not the only one who was photographed.
And I don't know about "princess"... she hosted poker games at various movie star homes and is related to an Olympic contender which is a relationship that may have helped her have access during a figure skating fix a decade ago.
This was a 100 million sports book operation as well as a poker game operation. Actors on the west coast, Wall Street types on the East Coast .... but always Russian Mobsters with Cyprus Banks.

"Molly Bloom?" Really, that's not a pseudonym?

No, not a pseudonym at all. I don't know if the linking of these people to the 64 year old fugitive Russian is proper or why the sports book site was wound up with a life poker series. It may be prosecutorial overreach simply because the art dealer was involved in each of these two groups.Quote: teddys"Molly Bloom?" Really, that's not a pseudonym?

From the linked article:
"Judge Jesse Furman set a June 9, 2014, trial date."
Gosh, let's not rush things.

There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

anyone else wondering if she intentionally appeared in court in a shirt & bra that shows nipple?

Yes, she asked the cops if she could dress in a more appropriate manner for a courtroom and they said "Sure", so she put a bra on.Quote: rdw4potusanyone else wondering if she intentionally appeared in court in a shirt & bra that shows nipple?

Is it terrible that I keep thinking that it's worse that the laws prevent these guys from gambling than that they gambled illegally?
Money Laundering is another thing completely, but again, if there were no laws preventing people from just playing poker of betting between themselves on sports we'd be much better off, IMO.

I can see some trendy art gallery being used for money laundering but a poker game???
Even at the Wizard's stakes... it would be a long wash cycle.

You can always count on a woman wanting to look nice... and when you need to keep one in line you can always count on a woman wanting to continue to look nice.Quote: rxwineLooking nice doesn't hurt.
>Bloom moved her poker games from Los Angeles to New York to cater to Wall Street financiers
>but she went back to the West Coast in 2010 after two Eastern European thugs roughed her up at her Upper West Side apartment.

Did anybody really do anything wrong here?.......Once again, I'm looking for a victim and can't find one.

The victim is determined by the presence of the Russian Mafia types and Money Laundering types. Once the FBI and US Attorney see those, they see everyone as a conspirator and everyone is swept into the net.Quote: treetopbuddyDid anybody really do anything wrong here?.......Once again, I'm looking for a victim and can't find one.
There is no allegation the games were crooked, as far as I understand.

RECAPITULATION:
Molly Bloom who continues to have and make use of various assets plead guilty and received a ceremonial slap on the wrist of some minor forfeiture of about a hundred grand and a year's probation since she "crossed a line" by taking an exceptionally low rake rather than providing the beverages and snacks out of her own pocket.
Her book's release date is this week I think. Letting in one guy whose "hedge fund" was a ponzi scheme was her mistake. Trustees under NY law are allowed to reach back and undo transactions to recoup Ponzi funds and no movie star wants to be linked to such things.

Molly's Game. My high stakes adventure in the world of underground poker. By Molly Bloom.
Yeah, library sent me an email so I went up and got the book. No centerfold!!
Page 1: Her predawn arrest while wearing a negligee. No photos.
Maybe I'll get back to it... but I sure hope this 'no photos' trend ends soon.
Don't get me wrong though, I really would like to learn how to play poker.

She is playing it as a hard driving but naive girl who through mere luck got involved with some Money Types who also ran poker games.

That's about it. Described as a tell all book it was a tell some book that emphasized her hard work and attention to detail. She clearly knows the effect of estrogen on testosterone and knows to have top-shelf females at poker games even if you have second shelf caviar.Quote: FleaStiffShe is playing it as a hard driving but naive girl who through mere luck got involved with some Money Types who also ran poker games.
So its an interesting read but it doesn't tell all and it doesn't have any centerfolds
EDIT: Nov 30, 2017
Just did a two minute walk on for Ellen DeGeneres show pimping her Christmas Day movie: Molly's Game.
