From the San Jose Mercury News, In August:
Ausaf “Omar” Siddiqui was once a prized “whale” in Vegas, a high roller who demanded that casino butlers and bellboys call him “Mr. S” and fill his room with golden raisins, bottles of Dom Pérignon and Glitterati Mentissimo peppermints adorned with a single rose.
Siddiqui’s Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing July 13 in San Jose shows he’s on the hook for $11.5 million to the MGM Grand Hotel, $5.7 million to Caesar’s Palace, $2.3 million to the Palms Casino Resort, and $1 million to Hard Rock. That’s not to mention the “unknown” amounts he owes other creditors, Mohegan Tribal Gaming in Connecticut, and three high-end casinos in London — Les Ambassedeurs, Aspinalls and Maxim’s Casino Club.
On top of that, he owes money to at least five Fry’s vendors, the bankruptcy filing says. They are the same vendors who have sued him for more than $10 million, alleging he used his position at Fry’s to force them to pay kickbacks in order to place their wares on store shelves. He also faces $15 million in state tax liens, according to court records.
Sounds like Omar had a gambling problem.
Seems like the Fry brothers weren’t minding the store...
wonder how much he owes in shy to various wiseguys..?
