Texas authorities drop money-laundering probe into The Lodge, retain about $2m
Texas authorities are no longer pursuing a money-laundering investigation into The Lodge Card Club but continue to investigate possible gambling-law violations, according to a warrant filed on 8 April. The filing outlines the basis for retaining roughly $2 million in seized assets; no charges or arrests have been reported, and the club remains closed.
The unresolved gambling investigation and retained assets leave The Lodge’s operations and players’ access to funds uncertain.
