PokerStars founder Isai Sheinberg avoided jail time

PokerStars founder Isai Sheinberg avoided jail time

25 sep 2020

Well, it looks like the Black Friday story is finally closed. All eleven defendants in this case came before an American court. The last defendant was the founder of PokerStars Isai Sheinberg. It is noteworthy that none of them received a real prison sentence.

Moreover, Sheinberg did not even receive a conditional sentence. And the fine was only ... $30,000. Just imagine, Scheinberg, the man who led the FBI and the entire American Department of Justice a pretty dance for many years, received a fine of thirty thousand dollars. That's all.

“I am glad that Judge Kaplan decided not to issue a prison sentence in my case today. PokerStars has been instrumental for the current globally regulated online poker industry through its fair and transparent work that has always been on the side of the players," Scheinberg said.

In general, if you're tired of being bullied by PokerStars, switch to the dark side and try something normal.
