I vaguely remember Benny the Whip getting banned from M1 ages ago for some cheating scandal, this must be it.

The judge threw the case out of court and said it was one of the thinnest cases he had ever seen put up for trial.  Benny was suspended for the duration of the trial, but was reinstated immediately.

One time at the BigM Babe hit a score for 30k.

He stuffed the money on the inside of his suit jacket. Cookie and him were going to their car in the parking lot, not sure why they didnt use valet but they come across an "Old" Woman laying on the ground. Well Babe went to help to help her up but the woman turned out to be a dude in disguise and scored the 30k.

Does anyone remember the Tally - Ho Bar/ Hotel incident in 1975 near Brandywine on Route 202?
