Recent Jackpot Jay rumor about broke WPT star...

[sciencebeagle]

This is from the recent Jackpot Jay, where he talks about the WSOP as he competes and rumors and chatter floating around:
"Another fascinating topic of these off-the-record talkfests is the star who the public believes is a no-worries millionaire, who is actually so deeply in debt he can't even see the desert sky anymore. (The big rumor floating around the WSOP from Day One was about the World Poker Tour supernova who is said to be $4 million in the red, despite TV winnings of millions during the past two seasons.)"

Any educated guesses as to who this is?

He actually lost it trying to corner the orange juice futures market.

Gus ended up screwed when Greenstein and Giang tricked his corporate spy out of the secret info, and the dude ended up getting stuck in an ape suit, and shipped to Africa. If I remember right, Gus also lost his seat on the Stock Market, because he couldn't cover the margin call.
