\n\tA Canadian real estate businessman was indicted by a grand jury on charges he failed to pay back $12.9 million in gambling debts to two Las Vegas casinos, Clark County prosecutors Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\tSemion Kronenfeld faces 12 counts, including theft and obtaining money under false pretenses, for not paying off $7.9 million in markers to the Venetian resort and $5 million in markers to the Green Valley Ranch Resort, according to the seven page indictment.<\/p>\n

\tThe case has languished in Las Vegas Justice Court since Kronenfeld was first charged in 2008.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the Toronto Star, Kronenfeld, who is in his 40s, declared bankruptcy in 2009, blaming the global recession. He also blamed his more than $21 million in gambling debts at casinos across North America for their constant incentives to gamble.<\/p>\n

Sounds like he should of spent some of those funds on a few GTC courses and might of lost only half, or maybe even won. \ud83d\ude0e<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
