He bought coke for an undercover cop.

He's a drug traffiker.He spent 6 months in the slammer - and that was a plea bargain. I wish the judge had busted him harder - he's just kind of creepy.

Assuming that report is accurate, wouldn't that be entrapment? It's not like the cop bought coke he already had. He talked him into going to find some. This sounds rather shady that cops there are persuading people to commit crimes, and then arresting them for it.

That has always been my thought about the situation.

It was very shady, a guy doing an article on high stakes poker got to know Mike and posted his take on the story (based on sources other than Mike, of course... Mike might be a wee bit biased.) It seems like a very shady bust.

Say what you will about him, but at least he didn't tattle. Looks like he's not as much of a bitch as everyone thinks.

Sammyboy, is there really a need for such hostility? Haven't you ever heard of a joke, or perhaps, gotten a chuckle out of something on a forum? Take a deep breath. Let it out...

Ahhhhh.... There ya go...

Now, this topic has been covered here in detail many many times. If you're not inclined to visit http://google.com to search for readily available information, perhaps you'll use the search function here on 2+2? Probably not...

Carry on...
