Cory Zeidman, who told PokerNews he wouldn’t plead guilty, entered a guilty plea on Thursday for his role in a $25 million sports betting fraud case.

The longtime poker player pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud more than two years after his arrest. He issued a statement shortly after his 2022 indictment, quoting a German philosopher in the process.

“In the words of (German philosopher Friedrich) Nietzsche, ‘Everything the state says is a lie and everything it has it has stolen.’ They took all my money and they seem upset that I won’t plead to things I haven’t done. I’ve been advised by my council to not get into details but I anxiously await my day in court. I have worked in the sports handicapping industry for the past 40 years starting with ‘professor picks.’ Trade secret — he wasn’t a real professor. I want to thank the outpouring of positive words in support from my close friends and family who know me best as an individual with the highest level of morals and integrity," Zeidman told PokerNews in June 2022.
