Social Media Post Led to Felony Charges for Dan Bilzerian

Poker certainly has an abundance of colorful and controversial characters, some who have developed an image or reputation, either wittingly or not, that defines how they are known to the public at large.

Whether behaving like a brat, finishing every sentence with the word “baby,” being known for having an icy stare at the tables, or choosing to avoid the media after winning millions, the players that make up the world of poker develop a following of both fans and critics. But none have a greater following or seem to stir up opposite feelings of love and hate more than Dan Bilzerian.

The ‘King of Instagram,’ who can boast of social media followers totaling more than six million, has become an Internet sensation simply by sharing his life with the rest of the world. Posting photos, tweets and videos that favor guns, girls and expensive cars, Bilzerian is thought by many to have used social media perhaps better than any other in establishing an image and gaining considerable fame and notoriety.
