I even got Barbara Gold on the computer scam in the 90s. I showed her
the program. If you have a dealer that can false shuffle, but I didn't
really have a dealer. She wanted to win a bunch of money from the
Horseshoe; to get Jack Binion back for all the money she lost.
Went Bill came back from Costa Rico, he got together with Barbara Gold
to try and cheat her at the Four Queens during the poker tourney.
Barbara had a bunch of money at that time. He had the 30K that he got
for luring me down to Costa Rico. He was steering her to a game with
Mike Murray and Gary "Gig" Young. Tony Sheldon was the floorman that
brought in the marked cards. Ed Hill was involved with that set up
too.
While Bill was setting up the game they went out to dinner and he
ended up sleeping with her. Soon after that he moved in with her.
While he was living with her, they beat her one time at the Four
Queens and she wouldn't play anymore. Barbara was into Tantra sex at
that time and thought she was a sex goddess. When Bill move in with
her, he got her hooked on heroin. She started losing weight because of
her addiction. Bill moved on because Barbara wouldn't be playing the
Four Queens anymore. Barbara never kicked the heroin and eventually
she killed herself in December, 2004.
Barbara Gold was staking both Ed Hill and Bill N when they played at
the Mirage. She would be home in bed. After they got through playing
they would tell her they lost the money.
After Bill left Barbara he stayed at Ed Hill's house. Ed Hill had a
connection named Bill in the Dominican Republic that leased blackjack
table at two or three different casinos. Ed was going to be partneers
with Bill N but somehow he go cut out after Bill was in Dom, so Bill N
left to run a blackjack table a casino there. Bill Nirdlinger did very
well in the Dominican Republic; bought a condo and had over 100K in
cash. Bill died in the Dominican Republic of a heart attack from
repeated heroin abuse on 11-21-2003. [They called me from Puerto Plata
in the Dominican Republic informing me that Bill Nirdlinger is dead.
This is 100% confirmed. Apparently he went on a drug run and had a
heart attack, the doctors came, as they were working on him he had a
second fatal heart attack. RGP post 2003]
Jimmy Shehady Writes Tell-All Book; Dies in 2004
The last couple years I heard Jimmy was writing a tell-all book to
blackmail all the people he'd cheated with over the years. Since 2000
he has been completely on crystal meth. He had a case pending in
January 2003 with the Hard Rock Casino. He was in collusion with one
of the dealers. His pre-court hearing was January 18th. I never found
out what happened with that case.
Jimmy used to say, "With Chip Reese, Johnny Moss and Doyle Brunson in
the Poker Hall of Fame they should rename it the Poker Hall of Shame."
He had no earning power cause he was completely fried on crystal meth.
He even tried to borrow money from one of my friends.
"Jimmy died two years ago," said Wade Shehady in a telephone
interview. "He was one of the all-time great hustlers. He told me they
were going to make a movie about his life, I think Joe Pesci was going
to play Jimmy."
Wade laughed. "I still have a picture of Jimmy with Mother Teresa."
Jeff Wiseman Flips With Daniel Negreanu- 2004
Daniel Negreanu made a 50K bet with Jeff Wiseman on a coin flip. Jeff
is a magician that can do anything he wants with coins. There's a 99%
chance he'll know whether it's heads or tails. He can judge by the
number of rotations. Nicknamed "the Flipper." Tommy Fischer set this
up. I'm sure Jeff didn't use his real name.
The Way Vegas Works
["In Vegas they weight you up in gold," said Jack Strauss. "They call
it the golden rule. The man who has the gold makes the rules." A
Alvarez Biggest Game in Town]
In most places- it's not what you know but who you know. In Vegas -
it's not who you know but how much money you have. Everything in Vegas
can be bought; for a price. In Vegas, money is king. This is the way
Vegas works.
Here's an example, there was a bailiff for the Las Vegas Metro Police
Department nicknamed Shooter that could get you out of any trouble you
were in for price. For speeding tickets you'd give him $100 and he'd
drop it down to a parking violation. He'd do similar things for a DUI,
or any traffic violations. He was as crooked as they come.
Look who's the major of Las Vegas now- mob attorney Oscar Goodman.
Where did he get his money? From the Mafia; they paid him to defend
them. The mayor is responsible for putting the Mafia guys back on the
streets. He was friends with all the big Mafia guys from Spilotro to
Joey "The Clown" Lombardo, who still visits him. So he took the money
from the mob and got elected, where else but Vegas could that happen.
Recent Incident with Jack Zwerner 2005
Little Larry, who was one of Binions thugs, [So he (Jimmy Shehady)
hired a hit man named Larry Colbert (AKA Little Larry) to get rid of
me. He was a known guy that did things for the Binions. He's still
alive. He has a car lot in Dallas. Larry was also the guy who came
after me in Costa Rico in 2001. When I found out about it, I filled a
police report against him to try and keep him away from me. Poker
Mafia]
was riding in the car with Jack Zwerner. He takes Zanex so he gets a
little goofy. Several nights ago, Jack called me late at night. He
asked me about if I remembered Little Larry, Jack was driving in the
card with Larry at the time.
I also heard from Jack that Doyle got Doug Dalton's wife Edna a job
running the cardroom at the Venetian Hotel. This would have been
October 2005.
He's trying to get in on rebuilding the casinos in Biloxi after the
hurricane.
The Number
I hear the number on me is 50K and the number on Russ is 100K. If you
want a hit on me you need to stand in line. That figures that Russ
would advertise he has a number on him on RGP. I am fortunate that I
haven't been killed already.
Final Statement From John Martino
I know I've cheated people but I never meant to hurt anybody. The
people I cheated were usually greedy and it was their own greed that
got them cheated. Everybody was cheating, it was just the way it was.
You had to cheat to survive.
I can accept what I am, I just don't like hypocrites and liars.
Everything I've told you is the truth as I know it and as I've heard
it. I'd be glad to take a polygraph test to prove it.
