Talk about poetic justice. A guy who is alleged to have conned people out of $275 million thought that he could enjoy the ‘fruits of his labor’ by making even more wagering at online poker sites. However, poker obviously isn’t Jeremy Johnson’s strong point and he managed to lose literally millions at Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars. He was a frequent gambler at Wynn in Las Vegas and other MGM Resort properties and played under the name ginette22 at Full Tilt Poker. Johnson allegedly spent hours at high stake tables at online poker sites, wagering as much as $5,000 at a time. Between April and October, 2010, he lost $1.5 million. Johnson has since been caught and his assets have been frozen – hopefully some of it will be returned to innocent people who lost out to his weird scams.

A convicted felon was given ten years without parole for his latest crime. After 2 years in jail, he managed to escape. His escape was the lead item on the six o’clock news.
Because he had to be careful, he worked his way home taking little travelled routes, running across deserted fields and taking every precaution he could think of.
Eventually he arrived at his house and he rang the bell. His wife opened the door and bellowed at him, “You good-for-nothing bum! Where the hell have ya been? You escaped over six hours ago.”
