The convicted illegal gambler and money launderer nominated last month to be placed on Nevada’s List of Excluded Persons thinks it’s ridiculous that he may never be able to set foot in a casino again.
Mathew Bowyer — currently serving a sentence in a federal prison in Lompoc, California — views himself as a fall guy for the casinos that violated their own anti-money-laundering compliance obligations.
Bowyer on Jan. 14 was nominated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board to be placed on the list, known as Nevada’s “Black Book,” and his inclusion will be considered in an upcoming meeting of the five-member Nevada Gaming Commission.
