A Cheboksary resident, 36-year-old Mikhail Lakhitov, was put on the federal wanted list on suspicion of tax evasion with 30 million rubles won at international poker tournaments. This was announced on Tuesday, April 4, by the management of the Investigative Committee of Russia (CKR) in Chuvashia.

According to the investigation, the suspect won over 30 million rubles in international poker tournaments held in the USA (Las Vegas, the final tournament of the world series of poker - World Series of Poker), Germany, Denmark and France in 2011-2013. In the regional management of the TFR, it is believed that Lakhitov evaded payment of personal income tax in excess of 3.9 million rubles.

"Lakhitov, properly informed about the appearance to the investigator for interrogation as a suspect, did not appear at the appointed time, he did not disclose the reasons for not appearing on the agenda. Currently, there is no information about the whereabouts of the suspect, which is why Lakhitov was declared a federal wanted list, "the report says.

On March 17, it became known that a criminal case had been instituted against Lakhitov, who did not have a permanent place of employment, under Article 198 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Evasion from payment of taxes and (or) fees from an individual").

According to the current legislation, winners of gambling are obligated to pay the state a tax in the amount of 13 percent of the winning amount. Thus the tax is paid from all sum of a prize unlike bookmaker offices where the tax base decreases on the size of the made rate.

Why income tax? If he won the money, he must pay tax on the win. And that 30% of the winning amount.

In Wyoming, 77-year-old Larry Rosenberg decided to shoot from the revolver people who prevented him from playing his poker. He shot three, and as a result, one of the victims died. As it turned out, Rosenberg complained long ago of "constant poker games that interfere with his noise." These games were collected three times a week, and Larry decided to stop them using violence.

In 2008, Gary Bowman (a British citizen of Ukrainian origin) received 3 bullets. And the situation is as follows: in Lviv, a man named the apartment door of Roman Olenich (he was Gary Bowman) and said that he had a gift from Kiev for him. Gary opened the door, took a packet that contained sweets, champagne and a postcard with the inscription "Love life."

We must give credit, the criminal has a sense of humor, although black. Then Gerya signed the presentation in the notepad "postman". After this, the person instead of leaving, pushed Gehry into the apartment and forced him to lie on the floor. Fortunately, there was a friend in the apartment whose presence the robber was clearly not counting on. A friend began to fight, and the murderer began feverishly shooting at Gehry.

Of the 4 shots, 3 were the President of the Federation of Poker, but were not fatal. As the victim himself joked, he was "saved by Ukrainian fat" - bullets stuck and do not damage vital organs. Most likely, this attack was completely for the purpose of robbery, because just at this time in Lviv was a poker tournament. The intruder could assume that the prize fund in Gehry's apartment.

There is only one poker room who can be told criminal it is the old full tilt with the PS saved both the owners from imprisonment and the entire poker world from complete outlawing beginning with USA who would even force it to be outlawed in Nevada etc. You don't understand what pokerstars has done to save poker and save their own rivals in times where the rival was the bad guy.

Try to tell this story as if pokerstars is a criminal to take the money get lost man. How can PS tell you are criminal to pay them?!

Look at logic before posting such a story.

These bad acts should always be punished. It can not be that it is played in this way with people's money.

It was a serious mistake on his part to want to make money in poker, taking money from others
thinking maybe to earn a fortune and pay the money he took, but sometimes things do not happen as one expects, it is sad and more than one has fallen into that temptation.
The officer at least had the courage to fully admit his guilt and voluntarily reimbursed a nominal sum of funds.
