Ar the end of the day, Howard sat on the BOD of Full Tilt Poker which stole hundreds of millions of dollars from its players. Howard was a 9 percent owner of the company as well.
Full Tilt took the players money and paid it out to its owners in dividends for over four years, along with passing it out to friends and allies (degenerate gamblers) in loans and sweetheart deals, and marking up lavish business expenses. But mostly the BOD just paid the money out as "dividends".
The BOD of a company is responsible for dividend policy and it is implied they will look after the players money rather than saying "dividends!" and putting it in their pockets in what the US government called a Ponzi Scheme.

____
Howard also used to alude to having been a chess master, which simply never happened.
