Illinois governor Pritzker claims he won $1.4M playing BlackJack on one trip to Vegas

[1srelluc]

Huh, a Chicago politician gets a mystery windfall of cash on a trip to a historically mob controlled city?

If memory serves that's how Edwin Edwards (dem Louisiana governor) liked to be paid off.

[EvilCat Breath]

Of COURSE he did.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Did he pay tax on that lucky windfall?
Hmm......

 

[odanny]

More legit than getting paid in a paper sack, if you get my drift....

 

[Polishprince]

Good for him. And its fortunate that he came clean and can pay his state, local and IRS taxes on this. Illinois' budget is in the toilet because of incompetency and they really need the money.

Pritzker is a lying sack of shit.

You should know. Takes one to know one.

Pritzker is a lying sack of shit.

The IRS should still assess the tax on this win, and make him prove that he didn't get it.

You think you will catch him with tax fraud after he states publicly how much he won?

Do you think $1.4 million is a lot of money to a billionaire?

Easy to check. He had to pay tax on it. Too bad there are no investigative reporters who investigate democrats

Correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't lived in Vegas in years!) but normally the Casinos report winnings over a certain amount automatically and you're required to either provide your Social Security # or the casino is required to take 24% from the payout for taxes.

Big mouths like Pritzker only ever talk about their wins. The odds say that his win loss statement at the end of the year will probably contain enough losses to offset his win for tax purposes. But fat ***** like Pritzker get off on bragging and hearing their own stupid voices. Aside from shutting up, my advice for him to make a little extra spending money would be to challenge Cris Christie to a hot dog eating contest and put it on pay per view. Or learn to dance and take the fat ladies place on the Ozempic commercial.

Well, he did much better than Edwin Edwards did...

tax reporting by gambling joints depends on the odds paid and type of wage as well as the amount won.

At a race track, if you hit a $2 Trifecta wager for $600 its reportable, but if you win thousands betting on odds-on favorite, it isn't.

I remember when Pritzker got hammered by his opponent for Governor for avoiding taxes, you're goddamn right he finds loopholes and gets around paying taxes, all billionaires do. I think the rules are different for them.
