NBA Scandal Link: Kardashians
One of the two New York townhomes where the National Basketball Association poker games occurred is the former Greenwich Village residence of Kylie Kardashian. She lived in the apartment during the Covid-19 pandemic with rapper Travis Scott, whom she had met at the Coachella Music Festival. They were together, on and off, between 2017 and 2023. The Greenwich Village townhouse has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across six stories.
The FBI says four of the five York Mafia families acquired this same complex and converted it into a gambling den where rubes were bilked out of millions of dollars. The FBI, who led the NBA raids, alleged that Mob-connected dealers used X-Ray tables and hidden cameras to track cards and rig the games. The FBI did not arrest either Kardashian or Scott, but did bring charges against 34 individuals, including professional NBA players, former players and a coach.
Liz Crokin, who has been in the forefront of exposing child trafficking operations, says, ” The posh Greenwich Village property is one of two locations in NYC where the federal government claim four of Manhattan’s most powerful crime families were running rigged games of poker and swindling victims out of millions in 2023. Jenner lived there with ex-boyfriend Scott in 2021 while she was pregnant with their second child. The couple were renting the townhouse and it was featured in a 2023 episode of The Kardashians — the same year Mafia members and NBA stars were allegedly using it to host one of their main illegal poker games, according to the indictment.”
Crokin says Kardashian got into the apartment through the dealings of Lou M. Taylor. That might sound like a dude, but that’s the professional name of a woman, Louise Mary Taylor. In addition to serving as agent for Kylie Kardashian’s cosmetic line King Kyle Holdings, LLC, Taylor formerly was business manage of Britney Spears and P. Diddy. In her 2021 documentary about Britney Spears — Slave Princess — Crokin introduced Taylor.
Here, we bring you an interview Crokin did three years ago with the YouTube channel That Surprise Witness, focusing on Spears and Taylor. We follow with the full documentary Slave Princess for those of you who might not have seen it yet.
We believe there will be much more to come in this story. Could P. Diddy be snitching and exposing the dirty doings of his former associates in order to reduce the prison time he faces? How many others will get dragged into this scandal? Christopher Raia, the FBI’s assistant director in charge of the New York field office, called this past week’s indictments “just the tip of the iceberg.”
