Allegedly: Spider Man Made $1 Million Per Month Playing Poker, Illegally

Well, this has nothing to do with the NY Giants or the NFL, but the story is incredible none the less. According to Radar and Star – Tobey Maguire made a fortune off the backs of investors in a ponzi scheme who were unwittingly paying the pots in an illegal gambling ring.

According to the report, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were also involved:

"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."

Wow – Brad Ruderman is quite possibly the worst poker player in the history of the card game… and Tobey Maguire is practically a shark! And the Star of Rounders actually is a horrible poker player… Am I the only one that finds this fascinating? Back to the Lockout we go then.

(crickets, sounds of Maguire allegedly counting his millions, crickets)
