Woman sues casino for 20 million for gambling losses

If there's one thing Americans love, it's to sue the crap out of somebody. Mostly for their own own problems. Take Arelia Margarita Taveras, former NJ lawyer, who is taking a bunch of New Jersey casinos to court because she gambled away her money, her house, her parents house, and even her clients money.
"Arelia Margarita Taveras was disbarred last year and faces criminal charges stemming from the embezzlement of her clients. The casinos she names in her lawsuit are Resorts Atlantic City, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, the Tropicana Casino Resort, the Showboat Casino hotel, Bally's Atlantic City, as well as the MGM Grand hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Last month, a judge dismissed the Trump casinos, the Tropicana, Showboat and Bally's from the lawsuit on technical grounds, but allowed Taveras to re-file the suit against them by April."
