Tobey Maguire Settles Poker Lawsuit
Considering that Tobey Maguire has won over a million dollars playing poker, I'm surprised it took him this long to cough up $80K to settle the lawsuit filed by a bankruptcy trustee who was trying to recoup money lost by investors of Brad Ruderman. Brad was sentenced to ten years in jail for stealing about $25M from his clients. Some of that $25M he spent gambling at poker games with celebrities and other rich people. $100K just to sit down. Earlier reports said Tobey won about $300K from Ruderman but Tobey says he actually lost about $160K from Ruderman. I think Tobey probably won. It seems like he always wins. I wonder how often in a year he makes more from poker than he does from acting. To get his name off the lawsuit he settled for $80K. He probably spent half that in legal fees and would have spent even more if it had gone to trial. Look for Tobey in Vegas this weekend earning it back.
So why does Tobey owe this guy money? Did he not just play poker with someone? Is he responsible for where the other guy got his money? Either it's too early for me or this isn't very clear.
ReplyDeleteawful pic!
ReplyDeletei understood nothing about this story
OT:he's working (or just wraped)the movie THE GREAT GATSBY with his BFF Leo D & Carey Mulligan
What does the taxman think of all those winnings?
ReplyDeleteTobey's 20 million pay days are over when Sony dropped him as Spiderman.
ReplyDeleteI think he will just do character driven parts and most of his future income will be earned from gambling. It is amazing how much money a professional gambler can earn a year.
OMG. That photo! That shit could be used for blackmail.
ReplyDeleteGamblers NEVER tell you the whole truth about their losings. EVER. He probably owes more money than letting on.
Why should Toby pay back any money? He didn't scam anyone from the Ponzi scheme. I think he is a pretty decent guy to give back any of his winnings.
ReplyDeleteI just don't have a problem with this at all. So a bunch of rich celebrities get together and play poker, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. Ruderman is the asshole in this. I like Tobey and say if he likes playing poker, who the fuck cares??
ReplyDeleteI agree with RocketQueen.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, that picture of him is scary.
I would be supportive on all your articles and blogs as a result of they are simply up to the mark poker online.
