Matasow in jail

[lonn19]

I just read that Cardplayer interview. He said he spent 6 months in jail for something drug related. Anyone know what he did exactly?

he picked up a bag of blow for a friend as a favor, he had never dealt before and was only a recreational user....when they offered him immunity if he turned in his dealer he refused, so they gave him 6 months for dealing.

say what you will about him but it takes a lot of courage to have the balls to not be a rat and not take that deal.

Anybody have more details about the case? How come that wasn't considered entrapment?

entrapment: "...for example, an undercover agent may not recruit a previously law-abiding individual into a drug distribution ring in order to prosecute. Many police operations, especially in the areas of drugs and gambling, raise questions of entrapment, which is available as a defense in a trial."

did matusow even try to use that as a defense?

This thread can start over now that my new 5-day suspension policy has been implemented.

Some guy got busted who used yayo, said Mike knew all the big players in town, so a narc befriended Mike and acted buddy buddy with him for many of months, then asked him if he could get some yayo for a mob guy who was in town, Mike said yes, they busted him for trafficking. The case was so airtight, they plea bargained it down from 25 years to 6 months. If he actually fought it hard he probably wouldn't of had to spend anytime in jail.

I'm confused---the case was airtight, yet they got it down to 6 mos. Yet they could have fought it harder somehow and gotten him down to probation or whatever? Which is it?

Also, what's the basis for your information?

He was being sacrastic, and there was an article in some vegas paper about it.

Ever heard of google?

I believe he was being sarcastic about how strong the case was.
