Video poker kingpin loses big
The United States won a $41 million judgment against well-known video poker kingpin John “Duffy” Conley yesterday in federal court. The government will likely never recover anywhere near that amount, which includes unpaid taxes from Mr. Conley’s illegal earnings from 1985 through 1995.
