Gilbert Arenas, the former NBA All-Star famously known as “Agent Zero,” found himself back in headlines — but not for basketball. Arenas was arrested and charged in connection with an alleged high-stakes illegal poker operation run out of his luxury home in Encino, California.
The indictment alleges Arenas hosted dozens of underground games involving large sums of cash, paid security guards, professional dealers, and catered food. According to the charges, the operation violated multiple federal gambling laws.
Pleading Not Guilty and Posting Bond
Arenas appeared in federal court and entered a plea of not guilty to charges of conspiracy, illegal gambling, and making false statements. The judge approved his release on a $50,000 bond, with several standard conditions including that he surrender any firearms.
