Italian lawmen have sentenced a mobster to a lengthy jail term for his part in an illegal online gambling ring, and the Borgata Chipgate star, Christian Lusardi, once used a fake bomb.

I’ve had poker organisations ask my lords and masters at CalvinAyre to sack me for my opinion, but I have never had someone threaten to ‘shoot my mouth off.’

But the Italian journalist, Giovanni Tizian, has, after finding gonads big enough to investigate the role of Nicola Femia. A 56-year-old man suspected of running an illegal online gambling operation worth an estimated $65 million. The size of the balls is relevant because Femia allegedly has ties with the infamous Ndrangehta Mob. Picture a horse’s head on a bed, and you get the picture.

Femia has been in front of the Italian Beak for three years for his alleged role in the online gambling ring and this week he was found guilty and sentenced to a smidgen under 27 years. Fortunately, for Femia, his family won’t miss him because most of them will be joining him. His 32-year-old daughter Guendalina received ten years and three months, and his 26-year-old son Nicola Rocco received 15 years.
