Gilbert Arenas recently divulged a cunning tale of trickery during an interview on the Vlad TV show, recounting how he managed to retrieve a pricey $400K diamond ring from his ex-girlfriend.  

“So I paid, I think $395k or $495k for the real one It had big stones… it was a big stone in the middle then it had three stones on the side. When we broke up, I’m like, ‘That was a f***ing waste of money. I want my ring back.’ So I was like, ‘How do I get my ring back?'”

“I just got to get her back but when she comes back, I’mma have a fake one and I can switch it at any time and then that’s what I did, had the fake one created, then started hey missed you come on back and do all that stuff I just knew that I can switch it at any time and then years later and then I eventually switched it put that one in the safety deposit and then she just had the fake one.”

“I put I took a picture put the ring on it… I had the original ring and posted online. there was two lawsuits one was about the ring one was about child support… I used the ring money to pay for all the lawyer fees.”

The former NBA star revealed that he had initially splurged a substantial sum, between $395,000 to $495,000, on a lavish engagement ring adorned with large stones. However, when the relationship soured and the engagement ended, Arenas found himself regretting the hefty investment and yearning to reclaim his prized possession.

Determined to recoup his losses, Arenas devised a cunning plan to retrieve the ring without facing resistance from his ex-girlfriend. Setting his scheme into motion, Arenas had a replica of the original ring crafted, allowing him to seamlessly swap it with the genuine article whenever the opportunity arose.

True to his scheme, when his ex-girlfriend returned, Arenas orchestrated their reconciliation, all the while harboring his secret plan to reclaim the ring. Over time, he patiently waited for the opportune moment to execute his switcheroo, ensuring that his ex-girlfriend remained none the wiser.

Years later, Arenas successfully swapped the real ring with the fake one, stashing the original in a safety deposit box while his ex-girlfriend unknowingly adorned herself with a mere imitation. To add insult to injury, Arenas brazenly flaunted the original ring on social media, further cementing his deception.

Unbeknownst to his ex-girlfriend, the diamond ring that once adorned her finger was nothing more than an elaborate ruse orchestrated by Arenas. As if the subterfuge wasn’t audacious enough, Arenas revealed that he used the proceeds from the ring to cover legal expenses stemming from various lawsuits, including one related to child support.

Arenas’s tale of deceit serves as a reminder of the lengths some individuals will go to protect their assets and exact revenge, showcasing the ingenuity and cunning of the former NBA star both on and off the court.
