strange stuff happens. did he gamble? that part doesn’t seem to ever be disputed. just because you are fabulously wealthy doesn’t mean you don’t become a serious gambler. (if anything, it can enable it).
dirty laundry is covered up when hundreds of millions are at stake.
if it happened, no one wanted a repeat of the pete rose business. (pete was also had an extremely successful career and gambled, allegedly including on games his team was in, apparently).
When a celebrity is reported to have done something wrong, what’s really happening is he’s threatened the deep state cabal in some way.
Some way that will expose their dirty deeds.
So they either make stuff up about him, or act like they care that he gambles, or they plant evidence of some sort.
Bottom line: the real criminals have learned to hide themselves while they run our world.
But their time is short.
