💨 Abstract

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas was arrested with five others for hosting illegal high-stakes poker games at his Los Angeles mansion. The defendants, including an alleged Israeli crime figure, face charges of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and making false statements. The operation involved serving drinks, massages, and companionship in exchange for payment. Arenas, known for his successful basketball career and controversial locker-room incident, could face up to five years in prison per count if convicted.
