Chris was a successful attorney earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per year while secretly battling a severe gambling addiction. Between April 2022 and April 2024, he says more than $11 million was wagered through his FanDuel account across more than 4,000 transactions. As the financial pressure grew, Chris began committing fraud through businesses connected to his law practice, eventually pleading guilty to four counts of wire fraud and four counts of money laundering. He lost his law licenses, his career, his home and is now awaiting sentencing to federal prison.
