Adding to more than a dozen other Hollywood hotshots who have already been sought out, Tobey Maguire has been slapped lawsuit in connection to an illegal high stakes gambling ring.
According to TMZ, the "Spider-Man" actor has won more than $300,000 from Beverly Hills hedge fund manager Bradley Ruderman, who is currently in jail for a ponzi scheme.
The Texas Hold'em games, allegedly held by Ruderman (CEO of Ruderman Capital Partners), are unlicensed and illegal in the state of California.
Now, with Rudenman behind bars and his company in bankruptcy, trustees are going after Tobey to try and collect the (under California law) ill-gotten money to help pay off creditors.
Other Hollywood heavyweights allegedly involved (and facing serious lawsuits) with the super-exclusive underground games include Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
