He is known for his abilities in the tabletop game gin rummy as for his criminal indictment[3] for activities related to the Taiwanchik-Trincher criminal organization, led by fugitive Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov, which served as the basis for the 2017 film “Molly’s Game” directed by Aaron Sorkin. Sall was convicted of felony racketeering - aiding in transit of a crime on April 18, 2013.[4]
