Chris was ratting out everyone he knew for months which is why Homeland Security did not immediately charge him. They had already caught him in June of last year (2012)

He better not of had any bootleg copies of the masterpiece "Lucky You" or I'm going to be pissed!

If it's not a violent crime the feds will take their sweet time to do a thorough investigation and attempt to nail everyone involved.

no, they will start to not offer live poker tourneys like Event #1 because it is too much trouble

a time frame for? a resolution or suspension of game or frozen prize pool. which?

Event 1 is so big what if the tournament was a buy in of like 500+ 100 and the tournament is online to start for day 1 with the same structure chopstacks. The 100$ vig gives you a free room for the night as well or something... I'm gonna guess there's actually 3000 people who played maybe less.

Chris? First name basis hmmmm

are you one of these people Shaheim Sheridan or Tiffany Decarlo?

Wonder if he's going to smuggle in Chinese counterfeit cigarettes for the prison poker games...

I can understand how Lusardi could become an informant for the feds after being caught importing or selling pirated DVDs. He could try to get reduced charges by informing them who he bought them from, delivery details, distribution network, etc.

But in the fake chips fiasco, it looks to me like a home-grown scheme, that he is now trying to turn into a complicated, convoluted conspiracy of Biblical proportions.

Dear Ms Spengler,

Thx for your e-mail. Just one more question. News report quoting you using word "suspending"

{Quote " The division’s order suspending play remains in place, she said."}

Is that incorrect ?

[QUOTE=riverph7;42161544]
I had to look

http://www.nj.gov/oag/ge/rulingspendingactions.html

look at directors rulings Jan 16-31

This.
DVD Copy business.
Counterfeit Chip business...

seems MUCH more logical use of FIVE Million in 5K chips, than a "homegrown" "one-man" job.

Does "set someone up" refer to positively helping someone in the tournament,
or
does it mean setting up some enemy of his, or possibly Men the Master, to get framed?

I bet there is a lot more to this story that hasn't come to light yet....

Order does not really help. The citation says the have a right to "cease" the gaming. It then orders it is "cancelled" and later references a "suspension" (it was suspended first then cancelled).

Reg cited


​(b) ​The Division may at any time require the licensee to immediately cease any gaming tournament conducted, if the gaming tournament provided is in any material manner different from the description contained in the submission filed pursuant to (a) above or in any way compromises the security or integrity of gaming operations or the collection of gross revenue.

i think you''re right because remember he had almost 3 million in chips
don't think he was planning to introduce all by himself
more to the story

Tournament was suspended for suspicion of possible counterfeit chips. Once confirmation was made of the counterfeit chips, tournament was ordered to be canceled. These two events occurred on two different days.

Permission to use your image on my blog, kind sir?

In the post about details not being able to come out in court.....added to "chris" ratting out everyone he knows, and had been working with DHS..... Like I said from the beginning widespread conspiracy.

I'm thinking Lusardi was "supposed" to set someone/crew/ring/ up. Possibly someone who has been bringing in Chinese made fakes for awhile.

He was likely involved in the fake chip business, except this year he was working for feds. I feel certain the chips found in the pipes weren't of the bad plastic spray painted variety.

he said it himself, someone has to take the rap, but I want everyone to know I didn't cheat(paraphrasing)

So he was a CI for the fed for 19 months! he was busted in june 2012.

Why did the latest article, given to journalists from the investigating authorities, imply that they just got a warrant and raided his house AFTER "chip gate??"

Seems like blatant disinformation?

So he was basically an asset, he was working for them. In what capacity did he nark people out?

What kind of cases?

He had to be in constant contact. He had a handler, they would have known when he got the chips shipped in to the country, and that he went to NJ with them.

Who posted the chip receipt itt?

you've obviously been given immunity, help us understand

They caught him 19 months ago but continued to let shipments come in.

What was the play in NJ?

How did Lusardi get to AC, drive or fly?

Was he in AC to personally catch his box? (receive the mailed chips)

If you're so sure of this, go back and check final table chip counts from other huge events. It's all public record. I'd wager no huge discrepancies though.

Chainsaw, how do you know which chips are the fakes?

I can't comprehend how someone can rely on the justbc posts as true.

We know he ordered the chips, altered the chips, brought the chips, solicited others to use the chips and had fake chips in his stack when he played/knocked out a poster yet people believe all the facts in the post in which he claims he did not cheat.
