Senorita Arelia Taveras, ex-lawyer-gambler

I just have one simple question for Arelia. As pretty & smart as you're, why don't you learn how to count cards and beat casinos in their own turfs instead of in courts?

"Just for the record, I never touched any 911 monies, I did touch my escrow account for an apartment I was selling in Bayside.
A compulsive gambler, is just that, compulsive, you crossed the line as I did and I've suffered enough for it.
I take full responsibility for my actions.
The reason I am suing for those thinking it's all about the money:
1. Every state with a casino,should pay for a treatment facility for the junkies they are creating
2. when your grandmother/father, is squandering away his/her savings there will be a procedure to so monitor excessive gambling
3. that legislation be passed to amend current laws regulating gaming facilities, they haven't been updated since 1974, duties towards gamblers has changed
4. When a gambler is over their limit, because casinos watch you all day, even when you exit to use the bathroom, that the casino have a duty of care to protect you and themselves from suits like mine
5. When people exclude themselves from casinos, I want a mandatory 30-60 day exclusion from the casino
6. we need a gamblers assistance program b/c 60% of compulsive gamblers die or attempt to commit suicide, for all those "john/ jane doe"s that die anonymously and are wheeled out the back doors of casinos so you never know about it
7. all of you know a gambler, 35 million students are gambling on campuses, kids are betting on sports, and marriages are destroyed because of this addiction, where is the responsibility there?

6.A woman left her two children in a car to gamble and they died of heat exhaustion and dehydration, in the bronx a father prostituted his daughters to feed his addiction, a teenager shot himself in the head outside of a casino because he took money off his parent's credit cards and the list goes on..."

In the story of falling from grace and "attempted-redemption", she proudly displayed a photo of her pretty face with Mayor Mike:

I take full responsibility for my actions.

Sure you did...that's why you're suing...and blaming others.

PM, never trust the degenerated-compulsive gambler's words. Arelia said that she would take responsibility for her own actions, but then she blamed and sues casinos for her problems. She said that she sued casinos not for money, yep, right! She wants to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge too!

All degenerated-compulsive gamblers (like Arelia) will lie to scam more money. Arelia will lie again and again to scam anybody to serve her own purpose. She even scammed her parents and make them lose their home. It must be heartbroken for her parents. Say if you were her parents, how would you feel if Arelia were your daughter? Say you had spent $180,000 to educate your kid to become a lawyer; then she screwed you big time; make you lose your home, and put you out in the cold. I don't have the details how she scammed her parents of their home, but I do have this post below which shows how she scammed her friends:

Arelia's scammed victim wrote:

Arelia -- when you called from Atlantic City in the middle of the night and asked for an emergency Western Union transfer to pay for a towed car, we generously sent you hundreds of dollars. We believed you when you said that you had been robbed, your wallet stolen and your car towed. You lied to us, defrauded us and (of course) we never heard from you again. What can you say to defend yourself?

Was the casino watching you when you called us to lie about getting towed? Did the casino force you to commit wire fraud? (a federal criminal offense, need I remind you) Was there some pit boss hovering over your shoulder telling you to read the con-artist script that you used on us?

You need to accept responsibility for your actions, pay restitution, do your time, accept your disbarment, and get on with writing your soon-to-be-featured-on-Oprah memoirs.

The bottom line is this, my friends: if a person scams her parents of their sweet home, then she would even dare to scam Bruce the Almighty when given an irresistible opportunity.

There is what's been identified as an alcohol gene that predisposes one to the disease of alcoholism. So maybe her disease problem is the result of bad genetics. If that's true, she should have gotten a lawyer and sued her parents before she took all their money. Sounds like she should change professions and become a gambling addiction counselor. She would have no shortage of work-there are a lot of sick gamblers out there.
