In May, Mr. Skaff was caught cheating at one of The Greenbrier’s blackjack tables. This is not just another casino, The Greenbrier resort’s guest list “includes 26 of our country’s 44 Presidents” and it’s “a favorite destination of royalty, celebrities and business leaders,” since 1778.

According to casino gambling news, Skaff has repeatedly ‘adjusted’ his wagers. Casino visitors might be familiar with this act, better known as late betting, past posting or pinching.

This is a common form of cheating, especially among card players and it leads straight to the casino blacklist. While pinching, the player might hide differently valued chips beneath each other or removes a part of it after losing. Skaff did this with a $100 valued chip and earned $250 by doing so. After getting caught he “pleaded no contest to the charge, and [..] paid the fine and reimbursed The Greenbrier the $250,” in order to “not to be drawn into a lengthy legal process.”

The Greenbrier Resort did not comment the case
