Actor Tobey Maguire is one of a number of Hollywood personalities being sued for their winnings in connection with an illegal underground high-stakes poker game, according to reports.
The suit stems from the conviction of Brad Ruderman, the CEO of Ruderman Capital Partners, who was sentenced to 10 years in jail in January 2010 for operating a wire fraud and investment adviser fraud scheme that lost investors $25 million, RadarOnline.com reports.
