guessing he has one or more friends in 'high' places. i really don't see a criminal beneath the surface based on the known information.

and having a few hundred thousand is barely remarkable. i can see Mikki borrowing the cash just for the pictures.

Anyone who has a name so close to Mickey Mouse is hard to believe tbf

he shows millions in cash and/or casino chips on his Instagram

His Instagram is worth following but looks completely staged and ridiculous. Can't believe anyone would stake him

It was either that or use Doni Dack..

my bad. i'll side with possible inheritance in this case without more info.

guys seems like a train wreck waiting to happen

Guy puts videos up with millions in cash around and people verifying his story. Guy says he can destroy baccarat etc. Guy puts phone number on insta and tells people if they send him money he might be able to do it with their money too. People send guy money. Guy says "ahh it didn't go well this time, you can't win every time!". Guy keeps cash.

didn't think there was a chance in hell randos were sending him piles of cash. im so naive about crime

I don't think anyone on here knows how much that actually happens but it's certainly what his Instagram is all about

I saw him playing $50k per hand in bac at the Venetian the other night, definitely getting some % of losses back from the casino also, also definitely not enough to create an edge, the Venetian isn't dumb

If he is treated like a true VIP Whale then no way is he an advantage player. If such a thing is even possible in bac!

Lets be completely clear on this fact. The only way to be an advantaged player in Bacc is to cheat.

Well certain side bets are susceptible to counting like the dragon side bet where you want banker to win with a three card seven. The player / banker bets aren't because they are essentially symmetrical. But yah not a lot of AP opportunities at the baccarat table afaik.

He was on No Jumper podcast yesterday and talks about his whole life story, how he made his money etc. I cant tell how much of it is cap or real. Basically though the bulk of his "come up" was made thru predatorally getting patients w insurance into rehabs, then opening up his own rehab(s).

Haven't listened to the podcast but that sounds like utter BS.

You can actually make a ton of money recruiting/running rehab facilities but it’s pretty immoral since there’s a lot of shady things done to ensure insurance payments and recruiting patients. I remember hearing they literally go to people with insurance who can’t afford their habit or just want to make cash and offer them drugs/cash while/after they go to rehab. It seemed absurd but apparently there are not enough people that legitimately want to get clean that they can recruit and got to fill up those clinics somehow. Also heard they sometimes had to encourage relapses since insurance no longer wanted to pay since they were “cured” so they forced regression.

Makes sense why he’d try to “gamble for people” and encourage people with probably gambling problems to invest in his baccarat scheme as he’s probably accustomed to enabling and profiting off of peoples addictions.

It is absolutely a real and legitimate industry. The movie Body Brokers that came out this year is about this exact thing and talks about how the ACA led to a cottage rehab industry, especially in California, where you can make thousands for getting people into rehab with insurance. It stars Val Kilmer’s son Jack and Michael K Williams, in what might be the last movie role before his death.

Just finished listening to the entire podcast. Of course, you should always be skeptical with anyone in the gambling world. But I gained new respect for Mikki. He seems like a really smart street savvy guy. Watching him live, no idea that he was so sharp. Running his own healthcare business.

His story is pretty remarkable if it's all true. From juvenile hall and living in a make shift house in the park made out of wooden pallets to owning 300 pharmacy's and making millions gambling. I was hooked the whole 2 hour podcast he's an interesting dude no doubt about it.

Supposedly he's figured out a way to beat baccarat which is insane but after the podcast, you got the sense that he had some decent mathematical aptitude. Being banned at all the casinos for playing baccarat? That's sort of legitimates him so what. Also given that he made his initial stake from legitimate businesses. If it's all an elaborate ruse then he's some kind of mad genius storyteller. But I'm thinking it's true.

Let's just say I've been given some info that he's not all that he seems to be.

Which I'm sure isn't surprising to a lot of you.

I was going to do more research and make it a big discussion topic on my show, but I've developed some "health issues" lately, and thus it's gone on the back burner for now. But I intend to visit it at some point soon.

Oh wow, definitely will listen when you have it ready. But look out for your health and hope you get better.

Popcorn waiting! Get well soon.

I don't get how anyone can watch that podcast without alarm bells going off.

For his birthday, supposedly 3 orgies a day on consecutive days in different cities. And he generally has sex with 3-4 girls per day, I think he said. But he has to tell the first two that he can't "nut" and make sure they're ok with that.

He's either a complete story spinner, or incredibly disturbed, or maybe both. Supposed he's really together and well balanced, but he also thinks it's cool to boast about multiple sexual partners per day and suggest that's a fulfilling way of life long term. I mean, he's clearly very invested in selling an image of a baller lifestyle - it's all about the millions and the shorties.

There was something just 'off' about most of his answers. He does make convincing cases for his answers, but that's the problem - it feels like he's trying to convince and justify.

Basically just sketchy as f**k. The kind of person that drama always happens around, even though they're 'so nice'. I had a few bad experiences with people like that in my 20s and just learned to give them a wide berth.
