Trump's NASA pick was once arrested, accused of passing bad checks to casinos
Jared Isaacman, a billionaire pilot and astronaut, was sued in 2009 by the Trump Taj Mahal casino in New Jersey over $1 million in bad checks. The casino later settled for $650,000.
Key Points:
The Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut sued Isaacman over $1 million in bounced checks. The suit was resolved and withdrawn.
Isaacman was arrested by U.S. Customs officers in 2010 at the Canadian border over a criminal complaint by a Las Vegas casino. He was released the next day.
"In my early 20s, I was fortunate to experience business success at a young age, and I spent time in casinos as an immature hobby," Isaacman wrote to senators.
He called the lawsuits "forms of negotiation."
President Donald Trump's nominee for NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, was arrested on fraud charges in 2010 and faced lawsuits in two states for writing $2 million in bad checks to casinos, according to government records and court filings.
Isaacman is a billionaire pilot and astronaut who founded the Shift4 Payments company as a teenager and commanded the first civilian space crew in 2021 aboard a SpaceX capsule.
