Part 5: RJ Cipriani on Gambling Away $2.5M of Owen Hanson's Cartel Drug Money
Part 1: RJ Cipriani on Meeting Owen Hanson to Unknowingly Launder $1.5M in Cartel Drug Money
--------
In a tense interview, high roller RJ Cipriani opened up about losing $2.5 million at a casino and the harrowing aftermath involving Owen Hanson. Despite securing a modest 10% discount on his massive losses, Cipriani struggled to cope, attempting to win back money using discounted chips—against casino rules.
When Cipriani admitted to Hanson that the money was gone, Hanson, accompanied by Sean Kyle, reacted violently, threatening Cipriani and his wife. Cipriani recounted being coerced into going to a hotel room with $300,000, under intense pressure to resolve the debt. Realizing the danger, Cipriani cleverly documented their meeting by charging a champagne order to his casino room.
Fearing for his safety, Cipriani eventually called Fox News reporter Rick Leventhal and later involved the police, extricating himself from the perilous situation. This episode exposes the dark side of high-stakes gambling and dangerous fallout between players.
