Where was Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's townhouse located? Former couple's NYC property was reportedly used to run illegal, rigged poker games

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are at the center of attention after reports that they hosted mobsters at their Greenwich Village townhouse emerged.

AllHipHop has reported that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's former townhouse was investigated by the federal mafia for allegedly hosting a lucrative poker scam. Kylie Jenner and her former beau rented the home when she was pregnant with their second son, Aire, in 2021.

The six-story property is located at 80 Washington Place, just off Washington Square Park, and is worth $20 million. Kylie Jenner and her former beau stayed there until they eventually shifted to the West Coast. The home, which features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, was also featured in a 2023 episode of the reality television show The Kardashians.

Everything we know about the illicit activities that allegedly went down at Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's former townhouse:

The Big Lead has reported that operators linked to the mob engaged in illicit games with the help of hidden tech, including rigged shufflers and X-ray tables. Victims were reportedly swindled out of millions. The activities date back to 2019 and continued through 2023.

Thus past autumn, a raid was executed on the estate after a violent dispute between rivaling mobs and men equipped with arms. As of this writing, neither Kylie Jenner nor Travis Scott has been named in the indictment, and they have "not been accused of any wrongdoing." There is also "no evidence" linking them "to the crime."

However, 34 defendants have been hit with charges relating to fraud, including engaging in illicit activity on sports-betting sites and allegedly rigging poker operations executed by crime families in Manhattan, including the organization La Cosa Nostra.

Prolific arrests include Chauncey Billups, the former NBA icon and coach, and Terry Rozier, the Miami guard. NBA figures were reportedly roped in to attract clientele to the games, where they were eventually defrauded.

The Daily Mail has reported that Billups has been charged with allegedly rigging the underground poker games, while Rozier had been charged with allegedly engaging in illegal sports betting schemes with insider information on the NBA.

United States Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr said in a statement, per the outlet:

"The defendants used a variety of very sophisticated cheating technologies, some of which were provided by other defendants in exchange for a share of the profits from the scheme. They used off the shelf shuffling machines that had been secretly altered in order to read the cards in the deck, predict which player at the table had the best poker hand and relay that information to an off-site operator.he off-side operator sent the information via cellphone back to a co-conspirator at the table, who was known as "the quarterback", and they secretly signaled the information they had received to others at the table and together they used that information in order to win the games and cheat their victims."

The statement goes on,

"Defendants used other cheating technologies, such as poker chip tray analyzers - which is a poker chip try that secretly reads cards using a hidden camera - special contact lenses or glasses that could read pre-marked cards and an X-ray table that could read cards faced down on the table."

Nocella Jr. also confirmed that the NBA has been helping out with the investigation. In a statement to the Daily Mail, the NBA said:

"We are in the process of reviewing the federal indictments announced today. Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups are being placed on immediate leave from their teams, and we will continue to cooperate with the relevant authorities. We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and the integrity of our game remains our top priority."

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott share kids Stormi, seven, and Aire, three. They split up in 2023, and the former has since moved on to Hollywood A-lister Timothee Chalamet. As of this writing, they have yet to comment on the situation.
