Oct 9, 2024, 06:57 PM

Nick Vertucci, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live (HCL), is facing multiple allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior from several players. In response to these allegations, HCL announced that Vertucci will no longer be involved with High Stakes Poker Productions, effective immediately. The company, co-owned 50-50 by Ryan Feldman and Vertucci, operates separately from Hustler Casino. Former HCL players, including "Angry_Polak" and Julia In Palmdale, have come forward with accusations, describing Vertucci as "a liar, a manipulator... He lied to me about everything." Vertucci's departure follows growing calls for him to step down amid the scandal.
