Overview

• Marcus Morris Sr. was arrested at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport on an out-of-state warrant for writing an insufficient-funds check and is being held without bond in Broward County.
• Prosecutors allege he issued $265,000 in bad checks last year to MGM Grand and Wynn Las Vegas casinos and that two separate warrants were issued earlier this year.
• A judge refused his bond request and ruled he could only be released for extradition to Nevada or if the outstanding warrants are dropped, setting a Tuesday extradition hearing.
• His twin brother Markieff Morris and agent Yony Noy have disputed the fraud narrative, describing the case as an unpaid casino marker issue and promising Marcus will clarify the facts.
• Nevada law treats unpaid casino markers as bad checks, exposing Morris to potential felony fraud penalties if he is extradited and convicted.
