The Oregon Pickleball Club was created in 2022 by a friend and a two-time convicted felon who stole tens of thousands of dollars from two investors, which ultimately caused the club to fail.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia E. Jarrett claims that Joshua Wallace of Lake Oswego spent the money on himself, paying thousands of dollars in dues for his membership in a private golf club, purchasing $50,000 worth of gambling chips during a single trip to a casino in Las Vegas, visiting Palm Springs, Orlando, and Los Angeles, and purchasing a low-tier Danish soccer club.
