Molly Bloom's Poker Game Kaput


[From article]
'When the Olsen twins showed up with a billionaire I was trying to land for a game, they were in, no questions asked,' she writes.
Things fell apart for Bloom when she began demanding a cut of the pot, instead of just relying on tips, which turned her actions into organized crime.
Bloom told 20/20 that when she declined the demands of two mobsters for a piece of her profits, she was beaten up in her own apartment by a hired goon.
Soon after, one of her games was raided by the FBI and her bank accounts were frozen.
