With the identity of the person posting as Mdawg on multiple forums now circulating, I have come into some tax information that may be of interest to some. I will not dox this person by revealing identity, nor will I share any information not directly related to the public gambling claims.
In two recent years this person reported gambling winnings, which is to be expected since this person is a fairly high stakes player that records wins that are reported by the casinos. In both years gambling wins were offset by gambling losses. This is the part that directly contradicts claims of winning, with no or very little losses that are makes on multiple forums. This person is either lying to the members of these forums or lying to the IRS.
This information does not include the current year obviously, with repeatedly claims a net win of 500k. It will be interesting to see how these claims are reported to the IRS next year.
