The leader of a card cheating ring has been sentenced to nearly six years in federal prison for his role in scamming dozens of casinos out of $7 million.
Phuong Quoc Truong was sentenced on Monday after pleading guilty to leading a group known as the “Tran Organization” and targeting 27 casinos across the United States since 2002.
Truong was charged with racketeering conspiracy as well as separate charges transferred to the court from the District of Washington for charges related to cheating at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma.
Truong admitted that he and other members of his organization bribed casino card dealers and supervisors to perform “false shuffles” creating “slugs,” or groups of unshuffled cards to track the order of cards dealt and bet accordingly resulting in a win during blackjack and mini-baccarat games.
Prosecutors also said the organization used hidden transmitters and software to predict the order in which the cards would appear in blackjack games.
Along with a prison sentence Truong was ordered to pay $5.7 million in restitution and forfeit nearly $2.8 million in fines as well as two homes, property in Vietnam, a 2001 Porsche Carrera, a Rolex and other jewelry.
According to the Department of Justice, 37 defendants have pleaded guilty to charges related to the conspiracy.
