Bank sues incoming State Lottery Commissioner Nick Mosby for credit card debt

Ex-wife Marilyn Mosby, now under home detention, is being separately sued for more than $25,000 in unpaid credit card bills

Nick Mosby, the newest member of the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, has been hit with a credit card lawsuit.

JPMorgan Chase Bank filed the action in District Court, asserting that the former Baltimore City Council president and ex-state delegate owes $12,083 in delinquent credit card payments.

The February 18 filing came on the same day that Governor Wes Moore nominated Mosby to fill a five-year term on the Lottery Commission, which oversees more than $6 billion in yearly casino, lottery, sports betting and other gaming activities.

On March 14, the State Senate approved his appointment by a 34-11 vote, with all affirmative votes coming from Democrats.

Asked if Gov. Moore was aware of the lawsuit during the month-long period between Mosby’s nomination and confirmation, his spokesman Carter Elliott IV declined to comment.

“I don’t think I’m going to have anything on this,” Elliott emailed back.

Speaking at a hearing prior to the Senate vote, Mosby dismissed his history of fraught finances, which included a $45,000 federal tax lien, delinquent student loans and unreported campaign contributions, saying, “There’s nothing that I’ve done in the past” that amounts to “fraud, waste, abuse or corruption in my personal life or as a member of this body or the City Council.”
