Controversial figure Dan Bilzerian recently made headlines after criticizing Israel and the AIPAC lobbying group in a viral social media post. In his post, which garnered over 2.2 million views, Bilzerian made various anti-Israel comments and invoked conspiracy theories.
One of the claims made by Bilzerian was that AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, influences the US government to prioritize Israel’s interests over those of the United States. He also suggested that Jeffrey Epstein’s island was used by the Israeli Mossad to blackmail US politicians. Additionally, Bilzerian accused Israeli big pharma of profiting from the Covid-19 pandemic while alleging that the US government and media were controlled by Israel.
Following his controversial remarks, many individuals left anti-Jewish and anti-Israel comments on Bilzerian’s post. His statements were even covered by Israel’s leading news outlet, the Jerusalem Post, which highlighted his previous online comments against AIPAC.
Dan Bilzerian, also known as the “King of Instagram,” is a 43-year-old poker player with a reputation as a playboy. He gained fame for participating in the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2008 and has claimed to have won millions of dollars in poker games. Bilzerian is the founder of Ignite International Brands Ltd., a company that sells various products including CBD oils, electronic cigarettes, and vodka.
Despite his wealth and success in the poker world, Bilzerian has faced legal issues in the past. In 2015, he was fined for negligently causing a fire on federal land near Las Vegas. While he claims his fortune comes from poker winnings, some reports suggest that it mainly stems from a trust fund established by his father, a prominent figure in corporate takeovers.
In January, Casino.org ranked Dan Bilzerian as the wealthiest poker player in the game, with a reported net worth of $200 million. Despite his controversial statements and actions, Bilzerian continues to attract attention for his lavish lifestyle and social media presence.
