Tobey Maguire (Spiderman) has been blackballed by Hollywood for taking part in a Ponzi scheme. He carried out his contractual obligations and hasn't had work since early 2017.
He ran a high stakes poker game fronted by Molly Bloom (Molly's Game) in which a professional clay pigeon was used. It was easy pickings for the celebrities involved, they were enticed to invest in a hedge fund run by Burt Ruderman - the clay pigeon. They brought into the premise that if Ruderman had unlimited cash he must know what he's doing. Hollywood types iz sooo stupid. When the FBI broke the Ponzi scheme Ruderman squalled but not against Maguire. Maguire paid out $80,000 to settle a lawsuit but was not incarcerated. Among the celebrities burned were Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and his long time friend Leo Di Caprio. In the film Molly's Game he is known as Player X, played by Michael Serra.
Eventually Louis CK and maybe even Kevin Spacey will be forgiven but Toby Maguire is in Shoeless Joe Jackson territory.
