that is just ignorant-do you not realize who loses when the junk traders ruin companies and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs? or the equity lost by regular stock holders?

are you ignorant of how he made the money that the 62 million fine was only part of?

Below is quote from Sun Sentinel Article as well as link to the article

Nonsense! There were millions of victims. Bilzerian and people like him cheat everybody, even folks who wouldn`t dream of buying or selling stocks and bonds.

Anyone covered by pension funds, retirement programs or insurance policies is in one way or the other affected by market activity. And the integrity of financial markets depends upon accurate disclosure of public information.


I'm guessing their wasn't one victim but lot's of people who worked hard for a living and were counting on their pensions.

Your opinion column (obvious not a news piece "NONSENSE!") says that he admits what happened was not a crime. Even the Wikipedia article that describes the doomsday-hitler scenario says the offense is "scaring them into buying their stock from him at a high price". It then describes how these 'failed' takeover attempts where then taken over by someone else. Boo f****** hoo. Ignorant investors lose money every day. If they hadn't short-selled to him, they would have shorted to the next guy.

I completely understand the animosity towards Paul Bilzerian. That's what happens after 30 years of class warfare. But if I was in that situation and the government decided I owed them 62 million bucks, I would be extremely and hilariously creative in screwing them.

Kudos.

And it's hilarious watching poker players deciding that they only respect someone who provides value to other people.

you're ignorance is showing also-Paul Bilzerian bankrupted Singer, and essentially liquidated the company for his benefit-costing thousands of people to lose their jobs, and retirees to lose their benefits

Yes I am a former poker pro-but I also am a small business person-I provide a living wage and benefits to far more people than you do I imagine. I work for what I have, and have the right to respect others that do the same-you sir are simple to think that everyone that posts or contributes to this forum's only moral compass comes from the game

Pretty much.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

You either have very poor reading comprehension or are reading selectively to suit your beliefs.

While the article does indeed say that greenmail isn't a crime, others were doing the same and didn't go to jail, it does say that what he did was not illegal. What the SEC was investigating him for in the Singer deal was stock parking, which is illegal. Stock parking and greenmail many times went hand in hand because it's easier to do when you can secretly accumulate shares. He wasn't charged with anything in the Singer case but he was charged and convicted on other deals in relation to stock parking and tax evasion.

Saw him on FPSRussia which was random, he seems to be very short, maybe he is the ultimate "napoleon syndrome" guys. I also noticed that Rory Mcilroy follows him on instagram today, another short guy...I'm on to something!

Private cash games are real. Private cash games in which Dan Bilzerian has won $50 million are not remotely close to real

getting "banned" from a state is indeed unconstitutional but judges have "exiled" people by banning them from every county except 1 before

How come he keeps posting pics of private games running in his house, with stacks of cash on the table ? I thought it was forbidden by the law to play cash game at your house and that people have gotten arrested for running private games ?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, i have a hard time understanding the inner-workings of the law in the US.
