BUSTED!!! CHARLES BARKLEY FACES CRIMINAL CHARGES OVER NOT PAYING GAMBLING DEBTS
 







May 16, 2008. LAS VEGAS (AP) – Charles Barkley acknowledges he owes a $400,000 gambling debt to a Las Vegas casino.

The 45-year-old former NBA star also promised to repay it after a prosecutor said he would face criminal charges if he didn’t.

Asked about the debt, Barkley says it was his mistake for letting it debt lapse, adding, “I’m not broke, and I’m going to take care of it.”

Earlier today, Clark County, Nevada, District Attorney David Roger said prosecutors would file a criminal complaint if Barkley didn’t pay the debt cited by the Wynn Las Vegas resort.

The casino alleged in a civil complaint filed yesterday that Barkley failed to repay four $100,000 casino markers, or loans, received last October.

Barkley played 16 NBA seasons, including a stint with the Phoenix Suns. He’s now a basketball analyst for TNT.

    I saw this fool on TV saying he has no debt problems. EXCUSE me! If you have a gambling debt like this, you're an addict. If you can't pay that debt, you're having some financial problems.

    His NBA career is over. What is he thinking? That money will continue to come out of the NBA sneaker? I believe this will open up a door to see other addicted former athletes too.

    Charles got gambling debts. All that money wasted. That money could have been used to help someone. Gambling is indeed a great sin. I hope he breaks this bad habit.

    The Wynn Company is STUPID!!! Yeah, they will get their $400,000, but now Barkley will go lose his money somewhere else.

    Whatever..pay those people their money! Now there is another reason to add him to the loser list! Notice how one of the first things he wanted to clear up was that he wasn't BROKE. Not that he doesn't have a gambling addiction. He is so obnoxious that he doesn't even realize how lowly he looks.

    This between him and the casino--it's no one else's business!

    It's disgusting how these people tell all of your business to the media, and I'm sure that there are waaaaaaaay more people tha owe a lot more than $400,000 to that casino.

    I was wonderingwhy he looked so agitated on the sportscast the other day.

    Charles Barkley is a public figure so his business is everybodies business. He makes me sick. He spent his post NBA carrer shooting his mouth off about all kinds of issues he knows nothing about. I've always felt he was nothing but a white man's buffoon. Now he's a broke buffoon. I wonder how many white women he'll get with no money. I agree with the poster BeReal above, he's nobodies role model now! lol

    Charles talk a lot of B.S. on that sports channel. I can't stand him. He try to be funny, but is not. Between his gambling addiction and his his White women no wonder this fool is broke. He better pay up cause the Mafia in Vegas don't play.
