Accused Poker Pro Faced with Charges for Human Trafficking
In a shocking turn of events, the United States Attorney's Office of New Mexico has announced an indictment against Elvis Bersai Lopez-Ambrosio, known as Pepe, and others for human trafficking and money laundering.
Pepe, a 46-year-old Guatemalan, is claimed to be the leader of the "Lopez Human Smuggling Organization." However, no authoritative details on alleged members or their activities for this specific organization can be provided based on current publicly available information.
Elvis, a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream, is accused of coordinating with Mexican human smugglers to facilitate the crossing of undocumented immigrants from Guatemala through Mexico, and into the United States through Southern New Mexico. The funds withdrawn from US bank accounts opened by his co-conspirators were either given to Elvis, converted into assets including real estate, or sent to Lopez-Escobar or his nominees in Guatemala.
The stream, known for its controversies, has been at the centre of a high-profile cheating investigation, sexual harassment complaints, and allegations of cheating in private games. Notably, Nick Vertucci, a co-creator of the stream, was ejected from the show after several sexual harassment complaints. The cheating investigation rumbled on for many months after a ludicrous call made by Robbi Jade Lew in a hand that instantly went viral. Despite these controversies, the stream continues to operate without comment from Hustler regarding the matters.
It's important to note that Elvis's poker activities on the Hustler Casino Live stream were not part of the money-laundering operation detailed in the indictment. Another player, Mars, was publicly called out for his alleged cheating in private games on the stream.
The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has announced financial sanctions and asset freezes on alleged members of the group. If found guilty, Pepe faces up to 20 years in prison.
As this story develops, more details may emerge. For now, the indictment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing fight against human trafficking and money laundering operations.
In the realm of general news, there's a growing controversy surrounding Elvis Bersai Lopez-Apozo, known as Pepe, who is a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream, but is now facing indictment for human trafficking and money laundering. Despite his casino-and-gambling activities on the stream, these were not linked to the money-laundering operation detailed in the indictment. Interestingly, crime-and-justice authorities have announced financial sanctions and asset freezes on alleged members of the group, with Pepe facing up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
