America didn’t get its cut of the gambling money.

Laughable arrest but its Arenas, a well known clown, so i suppose its whatever? Cant decide who to hate on in this case

Gilbert Arenas has had a great NBA career; however, judgement has not been a very good interpersonal skill that he has developed. History has come to haunt Gilbert. I guess Jarvis Crittendon saga was not enough for him to learn from. Is stupidity the tool of intelligence that Gilbert Arenas comprehends?

Not sure what the big deal is. He's been making false statements about the NBA for a few years now.

Gotta be more to the story, must've been very high scale and other 'services' available there.
Regardless dude looks like he does coke, and he's a suspect character.
Not hearing this about Tim Duncan

Must've been very big scale and other 'services' available at the games.
Dude is a suspect character and looks like he does coke honestly.
Not hearing this about Tim Duncan or Dirk.

Two of those charges could be considered in a racketeering case, not that this is head that way but if it did that’s some serious time.

As of now I don't know why I would care morally that he did this. Him running an illegal gambling ring doesn't really matter to me.

With that said, Gilbert is an idiot for putting himself in this situation. He was blessed financially in life. He has a fairly successful podcast that can go on for a long time. All he needed to do is chill for the rest of his life.

Gibert continues doing stupid things. Curious if someone snitched or he ousted himself

Is that an insult towards me? Cause wow, that’s a terrible one at best. Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

[TheCage4]

If this leads to him not having a Podcast, I'm all for throwing the book at him. The guy is absolutely unbearable.

The man’s name is Javaris*. Outstanding citizen.

Arenas had been speaking out about how his child was so near death when his cyber truck steering wheel locked up and the doors wouldn’t open and the bulletproof glass would not open and trapped inside while it was on fire. Then poured water on self until those watching a person burn alive in the Tesla Cybertruck were able to get through a window and induced coma at Hospital to help the Miracle of survival of Arenas child

It was a real gamble where having slightly more water saved a life while he was on fire
