Alright, this has gone too far and after realizing the scale of what’s happening and countless DMs I feel like I have to speak out. @cashoutkingj aka Justin Gitelis of Chicago, IL owes me 115k, and others adding up to over 500k after digging himself in a hole too big to get out
Since the NBA playoffs started, Justin has been taking wagers on series outcomes (Heat/Bucks, Nuggets/Clippers, etc). I had been following him for a while and had taken some of these bets. There were no alarm bells because he ended up winning these bets every time except once.
His latest offer was on the Lakers/Nuggets series. He bet that the Lakers would lose at even money. He took payments from dozens of people through BTC, Zelle, Paypal, and CashApp. He lost that series on 9/26.
A few days after the series ended, people began asking Justin when they would receive their payment. He stated he had the money, and the delay was due to the process of sending it. Obviously I know this is not true because no process acquiring BTC takes this long.
As the complaints increased, Justin publicly stated he would send out a wire (a lie) to get the vast majority of payments complete by the end of the next week. Justin admits he owes multiple people ~100k+ but provides no insight on when they’ll get paid.
As of today, Justin has still NOT paid out winners. When asked about payment, he deflects and says he needs more time. While some people have received partial payment (I received 20k out of 135k owed) he has NOT provided any information for when/how he will pay the rest.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that he may be completely broke as he started offering more bets at even odds before paying out Lakers bettors. We believe he may be taking more bettors’ money to try and win back his losses in order to pay back his old debts.
In the last couple of days alone I’ve gotten over a dozen DMs from different people that add up to well over $500k in bets+winnings that he is liable for over the last month that he hasn’t paid out. This is only from the Lakers/Nuggets series too
Justin paid me 20k out of 135k owed and asked that I comment on his page. I imagine he did this to build his credibility with everyone else. At the time, I figured because he paid me 20k already, he would end up paying the rest out soon. Since then, he has been deflecting / lying
Justin was so angry that so many people were asking for payment that in a fit of rage he said bettors weren’t getting paid for another 6 months. He also doubled-down on denying that he owed anyone that much money
And these are the DMs that just came in in the past 24 hours. It adds up to over $500,000 owed by Justin
Here’s his bovada account which he lost all of. This was where he sent deposits to try and gamble them while they were locked in a bet
All of this is public information, picture, name, screenshots and all else. None of this is private. It’s all on his page
