Former New York Rangers player Arthur Kaliyev has been accused of using the money of his ex-girlfriend, Lauren Mochen, to gamble, The New York Post has reported.

He had also supposedly tricked her into cashing in fake checks, allegedly to pay her back $400, which he had borrowed from her PayPal account.

Kaliyev had used the pretense of his accounts being frozen to obtain access to Mochen’s account.

The situation, in her words, went on for some time as he continued having her cash in checks, which he had claimed were from his parents’ company.

Afterwards, he would have her send him money digitally.

While on the way to a vacation, Mochen had been notified by her bank that the checks had been fake, and she discovered that her balance was in the red.

Like Family

Mochen stated helping her boyfriend during the 2023/24 NHL season – she had been the one paying for everything.

Kaliyev had supposedly told her that his parents had been taking his money; however, she stated he had recently at the time acquired a new pair of Gucci shoes.

Yet, Kaliyev had been able to become close to Mochen’s family, which compounded the issue.

The hockey player had bonded with her stepfather over golf and had even gotten close enough to her mother to confide in her.

However, Mochen has gone on to describe how, over time, he became more focused on sports and would spend time watching only that, which she attributes to possible bets on the games.

Getting Her Money Back

Mochen has stated she plans to press charges following a multipart TikTok series where she explained that Kaliyev had opened a secret joint PayPal account, which she claims he used to take over $14,000 from her.

Right after the pair broke up, Machen filed an incident report.

As of today, Kaliyev has yet to be charged with anything, and the report has yet to be verified.

Debts Unpaid

Mochen isn’t the only person from whom Kaliyev has been supposedly borrowing money for gambling.

The player has reportedly racked up quite the debt with multiple Kings players, whom he has yet to pay.

His gambling addiction, as well as the large sums of money he owes, have also seen him restricted from team practice at one point.

However, the Rangers also refused to trade him or let him go until the debts were clear.

Mochen has shared that Kaliyev had borrowed money from her to pay back trainers, which he never did.

The Lie Unravels

Mochen revealed that over time she had come to realize that Kaliyev had a betting problem.

After being denied the opening of a joint account by Chase Bank, she began to grow suspicious.

They did manage to open one through another bank, and by using the account, Mochen was able to uncover transactions with Crypto.com and FanDuel.

After doing some searching, she was able to uncover a transaction connected to a betting site illegal in the United States, called Bovada, she alleges, as reported by the Post.
