He ows IRS about 500k and they are auctioning his stuff. Which includes his World Series main event bracelet. lol.
When i was following poker He was the biggest idiot to won the main event, even bigger idiot than Jamie Gold. He was sooooo fucking bad, it was tilting to watch him play. Sucking out every hand. And now it seems like he is a huge idiot too. Broke after winning over 8 million 5 years ago. To top all that off he was such a huge fucking bible banger, praising the fucking lord WHILE he was gambling on TV in the main event final and while he was sucking out on other ppl. I fucking hate this son of a bitch more than the North Koreans. ATLEAST they don't belive in the sky god.
Desciption of Property: Corum bracelet and Corum watch won at the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event; Corum ladies watch; Wittnauer watches; Movado watches; Rockwell Timekeeper; Raymond Weil watch; Gold herring- bone necklace and bracelet; White gold bracelet with blue sapphires and diamonds; bracelet with "Mom" inscription; 14K man's gold bracelet with "WSOP Champ;" Man's gold necklace with an "A's of Hearts" pendent with white embedded diamonds (10K); silver breast plate "Hmong" cultural jewelry.
500k is roughly 16% of his 8 mil score. he lives (or lived) in california when he won the main event, so assuming his tax bracket is somewhere from 25-30% on his earnings when you subtract expenses/stuff it seems fair that the IRS is asking for the remaining 16% of what he originally owed them. This is all assuming he never declared or paid anything on that 8 mil score
The biggest Rockets, Sixers, and Grizzlies fan you will ever meet!
I find it weird he owes the IRS. I sort of presumed since he was apparently a bit of a religious nut that he probably donated a lot of money to that, I recall him mentioning something about donating a lot to some churches or whatever.
Played with him at Borgata main event and I think PCA as well, it was weird in that I think winning the Main Event actually made him worse. Both times I played with him he just straight up tried to bluff everyyyy singleee hand.
