The connection between the illegal gambling cases of Ippei Mizuhara, Scott Sibella and Wayne Nix has received further coverage. It turned out that Mizuhara's gambling debts were transferred through the Resorts World Las Vegas and Pechanga casinos by contacting an illegal bookmaker from the Nix gambling network.
What was Hidden Behind the Scenes
According to ESPN's Tisha Thompson, Mizuhara's debts were converted into chips and then used for gambling, after which the proceeds were converted back into cash. These new facts come ahead of allegations against Sibella, the former president of Resorts World, brought by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
What to Expect for Participants in the Case
Scott Cibella pleaded guilty to charges of aiding and abetting an illegal gambling ring led by Nix. His sentencing is scheduled for May 8. Also scheduled to appear in court along with him is Ippei Mizuhara, a former translator who allegedly stole $16 million from Otani and racked up a $40 million gambling debt.
