He wasn't arrested for being a tout. He was booking, or involved indirectly with bookmaking.

There is no risk of being arrested for anything, unless you are booking.

I refuse to answer on the ground that this might be incriminating to Whomever.

I have but charges were dismissed. I was just a lowly ticket writer in an office in the US before the internet, when all bets were hand written. I am not ashamed of it like I am some kind of real criminal. Happened more than 20 years ago, I was just trying to make a weeks pay. Spent a couple of nights in county and got released without a finding. Played penuckle with some characters in an 8 man cel and slept. The guys in the cel got a kick out of some gambling stories I made up and told them...

Drunk and disorderly in a Celtic celebration...

Good guess, but nope...

Actually it's a pretty boring story.

In 1992 I got cited for speeding and not wearing my seat-belt.

In about 1999 I got pulled over and hand-cuffed right down the
street from my house. They claimed there was a warrant out for
my arrest for not paying the seat-belt ticket. Why I would have
paid the speeding ticket and not the seat-belt ticket is beyond me.
I didn't have records to prove otherwise.

I spent 2-3 hours in the slammer before my pregnant wife could
get there in a thunderstorm to bail me out.

You'd think they'd have the decency to send me a letter to let me
know about the warrant. Argh.

LOL, tell that to Daniel Tzvetkoff.

There are a lot of gambling-related things you can get arrested for or threatened with, some of them worse than booking.

Many U.S. magazines where threatened with prosecution, and the threat was sufficient.

Well, players aren't getting arrested. Bookies face a slight risk. What else is there?

I thought maybe it was made up that you were at the final table with doyle brunson when he first won a WSOP bracelet way back in the day :smoking:
