I'm a senior writer at the Hollywood Reporter. Blake Libel is the son of a wealthy Toronto real estate developer who, in his early 20s, moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in entertainment, film, and graphic novels. The storyline is about when a new planet enters our solar system. He took up with this woman, Yana Cassian. I think for a lot of women, Blake was a good catch. Yana was raised in Ukraine. She was a very curious and adventurous-seeking type of person. She fell in love with LA, shared her experiences with her mother. Did she think that this man was the man she wanted to marry and have children with? Yes, I was in agreement with her. She really wanted to have a baby. He was a perfectly normal, happy person sitting with his new family. Something must've happened. He has a brother, Cody Libel. Cody drives a series of very rare, very expensive Ferraris. Owns, multi-million dollar homes around town. He's the flashy one. He's the flashy one, yeah. Cody Libel was an amateur gambler, played in a local game called Molly's Game, which later became a movie. I was in a room with movie stars, directors, and business titans. They were going all in, all the time. There were a number of high-rolling poker players who were part of this game. This is the Russian mafia, and the three are tied together in the indictment through a poker game. Blake was concerned about his brother's gambling.
