Second Arrest Warrant Issued for “Vegas Dave” Oancea After Missed Debtor’s Exam in $30 Million Nevada Judgment; Bail Set at $1 Million

Defendant skipped a court-ordered asset examination on Sept. 30; an earlier no-bail warrant followed a six-day contempt trial.

Las Vegas, NV

A Nevada judge has issued a second bench warrant for the arrest of David Oancea, a Las Vegas sports betting personality known online as “Vegas Dave,” after he failed to appear for a court-ordered debtor’s examination on Sept. 30. Bail is set at $1 million.

The examination was part of efforts to collect a $30 million judgment against Oancea for breach of contract, defamation and business disparagement, won by Cabo Platinum, a Los Cabos luxury vacation rental company.

The case began with an injunction request after Cabo Platinum said Oancea was blocking paid vacation rental bookings. Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court agreed. When Oancea repeatedly disregarded court orders and injunctions, the court held a six-day contempt trial, found him in contempt and issued a no-bail bench warrant.

Oancea has not been taken into custody. His public social media posts show private-jet travel to destinations including Bora Bora and Thailand, with posts from a Thai island appearing around the time he was due in court.

Court records show Oancea swore under oath, in four declarations, that he personally owned three Cabo San Lucas homes. After the judgment was entered, he claimed the properties belong to his father. Those homes are now listed by agent Hamead Rashead of Selling Sur Real Estate, which did not respond to a request for comment.

“Two warrants, a $30 million judgment, and a courtroom he keeps declining to enter,” said Mishan Andre, Managing Partner of Cabo Platinum. “The court has given Mr. Oancea every opportunity to comply. We will keep pursuing this judgment until it is satisfied.”
