Accused Poker Expert Stemming from Allegations of Human Trafficking
High-Stakes Poker Player Indicted for Human Trafficking
Elvis Bersai Lopez-Ambrosio, better known as "Pepe" on the Hustler Casino Live stream, has been indicted for human trafficking and money laundering charges [1][3]. The United States Attorney's Office of New Mexico announced the charges, accusing Lopez-Ambrosio of being part of the Lopez Human Smuggling Organization.
The Lopez Human Smuggling Organization, while not fully detailed in the search results, seems to be the trafficking network associated with Lopez-Ambrosio's indictment. The charges suggest a criminal enterprise involved in human trafficking and money laundering activities, although specific organizational details, structure, or leadership beyond Lopez-Ambrosio's involvement were not found in the search results.
Lopez-Ambrosio is accused of coordinating with human smugglers to cross undocumented aliens from Guatemala through Mexico and into the United States. The funds received by co-conspirators were either given to Lopez-Ambrosio, converted into assets such as real estate, or sent to Ronaldo Galindo Lopez-Escobar, aka Tio Roni, a 46-year-old Guatemalan, who is claimed to be the leader of the Lopez Human Smuggling Organization.
On the Hustler Casino Live stream, Pepe gained a reputation for loose play and being unafraid to play large pots. However, the potential source of his funds may explain his lack of concern over losses in poker games.
If found guilty, Lopez-Ambrosio faces up to 20 years in prison. The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has announced financial sanctions and asset freezes on alleged members of the Lopez Human Smuggling Organization.
It is worth noting that Hustler Casino has been embroiled in controversy in the past. A high-profile cheating investigation, sexual harassment complaints, and allegations of cheating in private games have marred the live stream's reputation [2]. So far, nobody from Hustler has commented on the recent controversy involving Lopez-Ambrosio.
