Like we said, the truth always finds a way to the surface.

According to Arenas, his Instagram post was a mere joke and didn’t mean it.

Gilbert Arenas addresses the infamous Instagram post where he claimed that he scammed a strip club out of about $40K using a combination of his credit card, cash and a few of his former teammates. He later explained that the IG post was merely a joke to get a rise out of his followers and that nothing ever came out of the investigation that American Express conducted as a result of it.
