On July 31, "General" Arenas was arrested for suspected operation of illegal gambling business, while famous Shannon Sharp was fired by ESPN; for this matter, 45-year-old parachuting No. 1 Kwame Brown celebrated live: Today is my birthday.

It is reported that former NBA star Gilbert Arenas and five other defendants were arrested collectively for operating illegal gambling business in a luxury home owned by Arenas; Arenas was charged with one count of conspiring to operate illegal gambling business, one count of operating illegal gambling business and one count of making false statements to federal investigators.

It is reported that Arenas rented out an Encino mansion it owns for special purpose to host high-value illegal poker games. Under Arenas' instructions, Arthur Katz, 51, was responsible for laying out a mansion to hold games, finding complicants to host the game, and collecting rent from these complicants on behalf of Arenas. The casino charges a pro-rata or fixed amount from each pot and invites players to participate.

In addition, they hire young women who provide poker players with drinks, massages and companionship in exchange for tips. These women are also "taxed" - that is, they charge a percentage of their work income, and they also hire chefs, valet parking personnel and armed security personnel to serve these illegal poker games.

According to the latest report, Arenas pleaded not guilty in a federal court in Los Angeles and paid $50,000 bail. The judge has set the trial date as September 24, 2025. If all three charges are established, Arenas faces up to 15 years in prison (up to 5 years in prison for each charge).
