On Monday, Jeff Castardi pleaded guilty to the felony charges against him. He was charged with violating the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act, which is a class-two felony, and will face anywhere from eight to 24 years in prison when sentenced in December.
Castardi was running a gambling club under the premise that it was a social club. He had about 100 high rollers going in and out of the club losing tens of thousands of dollars. Money was also laundered through two restaurants that were owned and operated by Castardi and his wife.
"Castardi and his co-defendants were suspected of violating numerous provisions of state law, including running an illegal professional gambling and bookmaking business, loan-sharking, money laundering, tax evasion, theft and unlawful debt collection," said Mike Saccone, communications director of the office of the Colorado Attorney General.
