Who is Robert Alexander?<\/strong><\/h2>\nAlexander, 51, made $30 million by selling his video games promotion company to Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Grand Theft Auto<\/em> creator Rockstar Games. But according to The New York Post<\/em>, he blew his fortune in strip clubs and at craps tables.<\/p>\nHis next venture was Kizzang, which offered sweepstakes-based online gaming through slots tournaments, fantasy sports, and scratch cards. According to federal prosecutors, Alexander resumed his excessive lifestyle. But this time, the money wasn\u2019t his to squander.<\/p>\n
\n
Prosecutors say Alexander used Kizzang as his own personal piggy bank. He spent more than $450,000 at the gaming tables of Las Vegas. Another $579,000 went toward paying off his credit cards. According to the feds, Kizzang had no viable revenue streams.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nAlexander has pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud.\u00a0But he has yet to be sentenced. He faces up to 40 years in prison and a possible fine of $5.25 million.<\/p>\n
\u2018Stalking\u2019 Claim<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen Cipriani allegedly saw Alexander spending money like water at Resorts World, he says he contacted his old friends at the FBI. This triggered a request by Nevada gaming regulators for Resorts World to provide details of Alexander\u2019s gambling history. This has been verified by The Nevada Current.<\/em><\/p>\nThat\u2019s when Cipriani says Alexander began following him around Resorts World on his mobility scooter while filming him on his phone. Cipriani says the alleged harassment lasted, on and off, for weeks.<\/p>\n
\n
On November 19, Cipriani snapped. He grabbed Alexander\u2019s phone and took it to the casino cage in an attempt to prove the alleged harassment to casino staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSurveillance footage from the casino obtained by Cipriani, below, appears to corroborate this version of events.<\/p>\n
But instead of proving his point, he was arrested, charged with larceny, and later released on bail.<\/p>\nCipriani appears to hand over Robert Alexander\u2019s phone to casino employees in Resorts World security footage.

These violated conditions of his bail, which could now be revoked. Cipriani says he was unaware of these conditions. He is also facing a Category C felony complaint related to cheating at blackjack, which he says is trumped-up.<\/p>\n
This hasn\u2019t stopped him venting, though.<\/p>\n
Resorts World has a lot of issues regarding lapses in their security due to budget constraints,\u201d<\/strong> Cipriani alleged to Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cIf they can’t protect high rollers from being harassed, threatened, and recorded, how are they going to protect the conventioneers?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cGenting’s Chairman KT Lim should have an independent investigation performed at Resorts World Las Vegas from an outside law firm to get to the bottom of why their Compliance Department and their President Scott Sibella are letting criminals gamble and be vendors at their property in Las Vegas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of this shady activity at Resorts World will greatly impact the NY downstate gaming license Genting is trying to get approved,\u201d Cipriani said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
