In about 1986, Scheinberg left Israel, and moved to Toronto. He settled there in Richmond Hill, where in 2011 he still owned the house he had bought in 1988.[2]
In 2011, Scheinberg was indicted on five criminal charges related to Pokerstars under United States federal laws.[4] In September 2020, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $30,000 with no jail time.[5]
Scheinberg sold his stake in Pokerstars to Amaya Gaming in 2014 for $4.9 billion.[6]
Well known for his sense of personal privacy, he gave his first ever media interview to Lance Bradley in 2021.[7]
