Ting plans to plead to operating an illegal gambling business.” Read more about previous guilty pleas in the case.

The game also reportedly had ties to the Russian Mob and Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who was charged with trying to fix figure skating results during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Smith, Bill Edler, Abe Mosseri, Vadim Trincher, and Peter nordberg Feldman are familiar games within the poker community who were also indicted. According to PokerNews, Ting is a regular at the Ivey Room at Aria in Las Vegas.

The charges were unsealed nearly two years to the day following Black Friday and mention illegal gambling, sports betting, and high-stakes poker. One section of the indictment notes, “The organization ran a high-stakes illegal gambling business that catered primarily to multi-millionaire and billionaire clients. The organization utilized several online gambling websites that operated illegally in the U.S. Debts owed to the Nahmad-Trincher Organization sometimes reached hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions. One client… surrendered his plumbing company to the organization as payment of the debt.”

Allegedly, more than $100 million was laundered.

According to the Hendon Mob, Smith has $2.1 million in career live poker earnings, including back-to-back final tables in the WPT Bellagio Cup in 2009 and 2010. He won the WPT London High Roller Event in 2010 and finished fourth in a $100,000 High Roller Event during the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas in late 2011. He had three cashes at this year’s WSOP.

Also indicted in the case was Molly Bloom, who has been linked to organizing high-stakes home games with Hollywood’s elite, including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
