One-time
Olympic mogul ski hopeful and host of the Torched
podcast, Molly Bloom, ran a high-stakes poker game
at the Viper Room in Los Angeles frequented by A-list
celebrities, powerful politicians, big-money investment
bankers, and billionaires. When a famous actor usurped
the game from her, she moved to New York and started
an even bigger game. That’s where the story
took a scary and dramatic turn involving the Russian
mob, drugs, the FBI, a Federal takedown, a trial,
and $9 million in debt. And that’s when Molly
wrote a book, went back to Hollywood, connected
with Aaron Sorkin, and turned her real-life story
into an Oscar-nominated film. Molly shares her incredible
tale and reveals how she managed to pick up the
pieces, rebuild her life, and forgive herself in
the process.
