The suit also references an October 8, 2019 text message from an MGM representative that read, ‘OK, let’s do this: I need you (to) email me that we are closing the case and that you will no longer contact (the Borgata president) or the DGE about the case,’ referring to the Division of Gaming Enforcement.

Niemann previously declared he would play naked to prove doubters wrong after rumours suggested he could have used vibrating anal beads, controlled by a third-party, to determine the best moves to make in his match against Carlsen.
