The post Kings Linked in Kaliyev Gambling Mess After Ex Alleges He Stole Thousands appeared first on NHL Trade Talk.
A New York Post investigation by Mollie Walker has detailed serious allegations against Ottawa Senators (now with the Belleville Senators) forward Arthur Kaliyev, who is accused of stealing over $50,000 from his ex-girlfriend to fund what she describes as an unaddressed gambling addiction.
Model Lauren Mochen alleges that over a three-year relationship, Kaliyev used her PayPal account, opened financial accounts in her name, and sent fraudulent checks — leaving her with thousands in debt. The report includes bank records, text messages, and a police incident report from Michigan, where Mochen has filed for charges of larceny.
The Post also cites messages claiming Kaliyev owes tens of thousands to former Los Angeles Kings teammates and staff, with defenseman Drew Doughty allegedly referencing about $50,000 in unpaid debts from “fines, fees, and betting pools.” Sources claim Kaliyev’s trade from Los Angeles was delayed last season until those debts were settled.
Arthur Kaliyev gambling rumors
Walker writes, “About a month before the Kings waived Kaliyev in January, former Los Angeles general manager Rob Blake approached Kaliyev’s longtime agent, Ian Pulver, about the forward still needing to tip Kings trainers from the season before, a well-placed source said.” The article adds that Blake grew frustrated when he found out Kaliyev still hadn’t paid, so he told both Pulver and Kaliyev that “he wouldn’t waive the player or trade him until he was squared away with those he owed…” Mochen reportedly paid Kaliyev so he could cover the trainers’ tips. It was only then that the Kings placed Kaliyev on waivers on Jan. 5.
Pulver declined to comment on the gambling allegations but did not deny claims that he has never been paid by the player. He said, “I have no comment on anything that has to do with any private or personal matter with my client.”
The NHL reportedly looked into the allegations against Kaliyev and responded that there was “no substantiation that anything Kaliyev was doing was in violation of our rules or applicable law.”
Mochen says she intends to press further charges, while Kaliyev — now with Ottawa’s AHL affiliate in Belleville — has not responded publicly to the allegations.
It is important to note that all allegations remain unproven and have not been tested in court.
