Tobey Maguire Sued Over Multi-Million Dollar Illegal Poker Game
They caught him because a fund manager embezzled funds to attempt to cover his legal losses with illegal winnings. Your craziest story of the week:
Maguire, 35, won more than $300,000 from a Beverly Hills hedge fund manager who embezzled investor funds and orchestrated a Ponzi scheme in a desperate bid to pay off his monster debt to the star and others, it’s alleged.
An FBI investigation into Brad Ruderman, the CEO of Ruderman Capital Partners, uncovered how he lost $25 million of investor money in clandestine poker games held on a twice weekly basis in suites at the luxury Beverly Hills hotel, Four Seasons, and the Viper Room on Sunset Boulevard.
Tinsel town A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon also played in the no-limit Texas Hold ‘em games which had a buy-in of $100,000, multiple members of the ring told Star. DiCaprio, Affleck and Damon are not being sued.
If that’s not crazy enough:
Maguire won as much as $1 million a month over a period of three years, one source told Star, which is on newsstands Wednesday. “That means he could have made up to $30 to $40 million from these games,” the whistle-blowing card shark predicted.
