A couple found guilty of felony grand theft from a Livermore casino were sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to repay more than half a million dollars in restitution, state prosecutors said.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the sentencing Wednesday of Eric Nguyen and Khanh “Tina” Tran, who were charged in 2020 for a gambling scheme they ran at the 580 Casino in Livermore between 2015 and 2017.
The husband and wife pled guilty to a scheme to cheat at the card game Baccarat while Tran was working as a dealer at the casino. The pair were arrested on May 6, 2020, in Harris County, Texas, on California felony arrest warrants.
