Information released on Wednesday within the "Hustler Casino Live" investigation into cheating allegations made against Robbi Jade Lew and others also included new details on several related topics, from the enhanced security measures being put into place by HCL to a mention of one of the side stories to emerge from the situation, involving former employee Bryan Sagbigsal.
Sagbigsal remains wanted for two counts of grand theft related to his activities during the HCL streamed games. He was already known to have stolen $15,000 from the chip stack of Lew after the September 29 streamed game, but the complaint against Sagbigsal published by HCL parent company High Stakes Poker productions reveals that the second charge against Sagbigsal involves a separate $5,000 allegedly stolen from Hustler Casino itself.
That Sagbigsal would face two grand-theft charges was known since last week, when L.A. Times beat writer Andrea Chang announced on social media that she had received that info from the L.A. County District Attorney's office. What wasn't made public, however, was that one of the two grand-theft counts seemingly did not involve Lew or her property at all, but was about this separate Sagbigsal incident.
Whatever else occurred involving Sagbigsal also take place during the general timeframe of the September 29 game that featured the notorious "J-4" hand between Lew and Garrett Adelstein. Beyond that, though, the limited disclosure within the complaint against Sagbigsal offers little other information, other than that with a value of over $950, it qualifies as a grand-theft matter under California law:
