With the federal government on his back, Chad Elie is up to his waist in alligators these days. The feds arrested Elie and two others in the April 15 Black Friday online poker indictments, alleging that Elie didn’t exactly play by the rules as he was processing payments for Internet players.
Elie is nothing if not resourceful, though, and for a while it appeared that he might have figured out a way to keep Uncle Sam from seizing his assets – not the least of which was his $1.5-million Las Vegas house. He did that by marrying perhaps an even greater asset, namely former (2005) Playboy Playmate Destiny Davis.
The happy couple tied the knot at the Little Church of the West chapel in Vegas. Problem was, the marriage certificate was dated April 16, one day after all hell had broken loose, and the couple didn’t even have enough time to register at the new Crate and Barrel in Summerlin. [You would think that for an extra couple of large bills the chapel could have pre-dated the paperwork, but I guess not.]
It’s uncertain whether the house is now in his name, her name or both, but at any rate the Dept. of Justice doesn’t seem to care. The DoJ has announced its intention to seize the 7,200-square-foot home, along with five other properties that prosecutors have deemed “forfeitable.”
There is also speculation that another shoe will fall on Elie. Seems that disingenuous attempts to protect assets after the fact may also be a crime, and prosecutors don’t exactly jump for joy when defendants try to gum up the works like Elie may have.
It’s not all bad news for Elie, though. Destiny, God bless her, says she has no plans to fold on the marriage, probably at least until she learns whether her husband wants to fight the charges and risk doing some serious time. That has to be more than comforting for Elie, even if he and his bride have to delay their long-planned honeymoon trip to Gibraltar.
