In the mid-2000s, Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire, despite his fame and fortune, sought to increase his wealth through poker. He joined a weekly game with other celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, which later became linked to a $100 million money laundering ring, leading to FBI raids. The scandal, which inspired books and a movie, involved cheating, a Ponzi scheme, and even a connection to Kim Jong-un. This era also coincided with the FBI’s crackdown on major online poker sites, ending the industry’s golden age.
