My point is, that he was never going to come clean.  He never will.  He'll lie till the day he dies if he doesn't go into treatment and get help for his addiction.

Art Schlichter was the ultimate gambling addict. He was as bad as any drug addict. He was just sentenced to 10 years for fraud in 2012, probably to fuel his gambling addiction.
