It didn't take very long for Antony to fall behind on the payment arrangements he had made with the loan sharks
and that is where the troubles would really begin. The loan sharks decided to show Antony how serious they were
about getting their money back. The loan sharks made several threats to Antony and when they didn't get the
response they wanted, which would have been getting their money back, they targeted Antony's 64 year old father,
Tony. Tony was shot in the back of his head while he was outside of the Gala Maybury Casino on June 3rd, 2008.
Luckily, he was able to survive the gunshot wound. Four men had been arrested in this shooting and they were
sentenced to a combined total of 43 years in prison. Approximately one month after the shooting, Antony became
involved in a fraud scheme for $1million.
New Updates in the Case
This week the court heard testimony that Tony was shot in the back of the head because of the gambling debt his
37 year old son had incurred. Had it not been for Antony turning to the loan sharks as a means of getting out of
his debt, his father would never have been shot. Antony has filed bankruptcy, he currently goes to Gamblers
Anonymous meetings, and he is awaiting sentencing on fraud charges.
