A reputed mobster, who was once accused of beating his porn star ex-girlfriend, is charged in the FBI’s sweeping investigation into a multi-million dollar rigged poker ring that included former NBA players, according to officials.
Thomas Gelardo — an alleged associate of the Bonanno and Genovese Crime Families known as “Tommy Juice” — acted as muscle in the games, threatening victims to pay off their debts after they were ripped off in the poker games, the federal indictment said.
Tommy Juice was paid a portion of the proceeds, which he kicked up the chain to his mob bosses, prosecutors alleged. 3
Prior to his gambling bust, he whined about being kept behind bars too long after he cashed his adult model ex, Trista Geyer, stage name Kendall Brooks, after he was arrested in 2013
