He's a criminal who stole millions of dollars from the poker community. Imagine the distress he caused to thousands of people?

He belongs in prison, the fact he's living the high life still and isn't it jail is disgusting.

He'll respond

Thats disgusting

Reading this thread makes me question my socialistic principles.
It seems that even the worst thieves in the world end up ok.

Shame on the US justice system and everyone that was involved in this fiasco.

I don't want to invite politard derailers, but I honestly don't understand how he escaped jail time. I don't. What sort of PROOF do defendants have to offer re: claimed medical conditions? And why should they carry any sway to begin with? It's marginally different when you're dealing with a 94-year-old in palliative care confined to a wheelchair, but this dude was just a fat 39 year old. My only guess: there simply MUST be a backroom deal where he provided info that helped gov cases against other folks, like Daniel Tzvetkoff.

Also, I don't think it's a stretch to say that he has only PokerStars to thank for keeping him out of jail. If they don't bail out FTP (with a gun to their head), players don't get paid back, and he doesn't have the "but no one actually lost $ in this!" defense.

he seems to be modeling his business career and personal life after Donald Trump.

please delete this thread. This man should be forgotten by the poker community.

From the look of her, he'll get his just desserts soon enough.

let the groupies be groupies

So true. Even with the prenup, nothing can stop that rash. Looks like Bitar has met his match. RIP loser.

Sure. And let's never write or speak again about Russ Johnson, Absolute Poker, the Hialiah Poker room tournament fraud, the Borgata chip scandal, Brian Hastings or any of the many other recent scams. Because wouldn't that be better for everyone?

That stuff may contain useful information. Who the **** cares about Ray Bitar losing weight and getting married?

The people who were harmed by him and see that he didn't have to pay for his crimes.

And the poker players who are wise enough to learn from this development and other stories that make the news.

did she get that at the FTP store?

In a manner of speaking, yes.

probably started selling herbalife

The fact that he's flaunting it makes this much, much worse.

Not sure how much he is flaunting it since the article states his wedding was October 25th 2015 and we are just getting the news here now.

how do u survive a heart transplant?

lol the girl looks as fake as the balances ray was giving to the gaming commission

He is the end boss of all end bosses.

You can't be mad at an evil guy for trying to get away with it. Whoever was supposed to charge and punish him is the culprit here. I wonder how much difficulties these guys have had in their daily lifes. I hope people make prank calls and let lobsters be delivered at his house every day?

ORLY?

I thought this guy was near his deathbed a few years ago and that's why they didn't give him jailtime???

Hey it's called land of the Free. (he got rejuvenated by a blonde siren)
