Looks like the bad economy wasn’t the only thing causing problems in the financial world of former Billabong CEO Matthew Perrin. The Sydney Morning Herald is now reporting that Perrin had at least $1.7 million AUS in gambling debts last year before everything went down.
The debts of the former high-flying Billabong chief executive include $800,000 to the Centrebet boss, Con Kafataris, $300,000 to Flemington bookie Frank Hudson and $160,000 to one of Victoria’s biggest bookmakers, Alan Eskander.
What do they say? You have to bet big to win big?
