Blackjack, patronizing prostitutes and stealing from a charity for women and children. Those were some of the vices the U.S. government’s star witness admitted to during testimony in the inside-trading trial of Las Vegas gambler Billy Walters.

Tom C. Davis, the former chairman of Dean Foods Co., also told a Manhattan jury he was enamored with Walters, who introduced him to pro golfer Phil Mickelson and was friends with investor Carl Icahn.
