Overview

  • On Wednesday he posted on Instagram that he never intended to defraud casinos and took markers solely for gambling.
  • Nevada authorities allege he wrote two insufficient-fund checks—$115,000 to MGM Grand in May 2024 and $150,000 to Wynn Las Vegas in June 2024.
  • Morris said he has since settled the full $265,000 debt but was held for 51 hours without food or water following his July 27 arrest at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport.
  • A Florida judge denied him bond on July 29, and he remains jailed on a felony check-fraud warrant pending extradition to Nevada.
  • His next court appearance is set for late August, when he will formally address the fraud charges.
