Indicted poker madam Molly Bloom tells all in her newly published book “Molly’s Game”. Bloom told ABC News “Spiderman” star Toby Maguire used marquee Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio as bait to lure in big fish to play in her games.
“People had, probably, six-figure losses, six-figure wins,” Bloom told ABC News’ “20/20.”
Bloom also writes of how she would sometimes take home thousands of dollars in tips each night, at times as much as $50,000.
After making $3,000 in tips the first night, Bloom said, “I got in my car. I locked my car, and I just was, like, screaming.”
The 36-year-old Bloom had nothing but kind words for the likes of “Rounders” star Matt Damon, who regularly attended her games. But Maquire found himself lambasted in her memoire.
“I used to call Tobey ‘Hannibal Lecter’ because he could just talk someone off of a good hand,” Bloom said.
She also called him ‘the worst tipper” and “the absolute worst loser”.
Bloom was one of a number of individuals who plead guilty last year for their role in a multi-million dollar gambling ring with ties to the Russian Mafia. She was sentenced to probation.
