Sir Charles Barkley Owes Wynn $400K

He's Facing Felony charges for this one as Wynn filed a lawsuit, and i just saw him in our Casino a couple of weeks ago.

link

A prosecutor says retired NBA star Charles Barkley is facing felony charges if he fails to repay a $400,000 gambling debt to a Las Vegas Strip casino.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger says Barkley will get a chance to make restitution to Wynn Las Vegas to avoid facing felony bad check charges. The casino alleges in court documents filed Wednesday that Barkley failed to repay four $100,000 casino markers, or loans, he received last Oct. 18 and 19. The 45-year-old Barkley played 16 NBA seasons and was named MVP in 1993. He’s now a basketball analyst for Turner Network Television.
A TNT spokeswoman in Atlanta and Barkley’s agent in New York did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

erps will become famous soon enough erps will become famous soon enough
I don't want to dig up the stolen Tayana thread, but I'm surprised there is a threat of criminal prosecution in what is typically a civil case, when someone fails to pay off a loan. Have any idea why this case is different?

edit: Just read the link and saw that particular state has a law that allows criminal prosecution in this particular type of debt. Isn't that convenient?

in this type of case, it's considered as sort of Bad Check" writing.
