A 9/11 victims lawyer who swindled clients to feed her gambling habit has turned the blackjack tables on the casinos - she’s suing them for letting her ante up.
Arelia Taveras has filed a $20 million racketeering lawsuit claiming her career as an ambitious lawyer and TV commentator spun out of control after she became addicted to high rolling.
The former high-flier says she mounted losses of up to $1 million and would spend days at a time at the tables, not eating or sleeping, sometimes passing out, and using disposable wipes to brush her teeth so she could stay.”*
