Gets Money Back Lost in Fake Game
Oliver Hagen, a Seattle man, was fined 200 dollars in a police court for running a con game with fake poker money. He faces 109 days in jail unless a friend pays the fine after recovering 200 dollars from a miner named Elas Hakka of Melrose who was cheated into betting 281 dollars. The case involved a staged game using fake funds, with Hagen allegedly guiding the bets and taking a booking fee. The confederate remains at large and the incident led to hospitalization of the victim’s trust in strangers after a night of card play and alcohol.
