## Resource

A disgraced ex-financial advisor, Gavin Fineff, is suing major betting giants Tabcorp and Entain — including defunct BetEasy — to recover $3.3 million he claims was stolen from 12 clients to fund his gambling addiction. Currently imprisoned and bankrupt, Fineff must first get court permission to sue, arguing the funds were held in trust and he breached his duty by gambling with them. His lawyers accuse betting companies of predatory behavior, offering him millions in bonuses after his accounts were frozen — even treating him as a “VIP” gambler. Despite admitting his “reprehensible conduct,” Fineff’s team insists he has a legal duty to try to return the money. The court must decide whether this lawsuit is a legitimate attempt at restitution or a frivolous distraction — and that decision is still pending.
