Arnold De Shay A very good point, indeed!! 👍🏼😊. If only everyone went into a casino with the same frame of mind I had when I went to Vegas. The money I took into the casinos was pretty much what I could “afford to lose”. And when that base amount was gone, I was done playing. Period. If, when it was time to leave, I had more than my base amount left, I merely considered it to be icing on the cake!! Unfortunately, as we are all painfully aware, there are those people who go there with the express reason to “hit it big”! However, for one reason or another they get caught up in the thrill of win, and usually end up blowing money they can NOT afford to lose. But, I’m guessing/hoping that a great number of people go into casinos just to have fun!

Everyone knows that when amateurs are caught stealing they get banged up, banks, insurance, governments and corporations caught stealing, it's forgotten & forgiven. It's a big club and he wasn't invited.

I feel so sorry for the casino (sarcasm).

In my country (USA) as long as you commit theft, fraud, etc. you won't get tried much less convicted as long as you are part of a bank or stock company or are part of some other powerful, rich company/group. As far as I'm concerned, good for those guys for getting one over on the casino. If only they had gotten away with it. Rigging games for customers to lose or at least rarely win, countless crimes committed by wallstreet type folk, killing people on an oil rig by ordering unsafe practices also resulting in major environmental and economic damage, etc. etc. etc. with no jail time. You like smoking the "wrong plant" life in jail. Petty theft? Jail time for you. It is no wonder that so many people hate this corrupt system we have.

$380k in taxes? Sounds like they didn’t catch all the thieves!

The lesson here is, if you're going to steal a lot of money, you need to be rich BEFORE you commit the crime. Then, when you get caught, you only get a few months in prison, not 50+ years. Just ask Manifort.
