What a bunch of malarkey. First of all, the Golden Nugget has other ways of discovering if someone's a beard other than asking them, so no, it didn't CAUSE them to file a false transaction report. Second, the amounts involved are so small, c'mon, this is not how major money launderers do business these days. The whole process is an ongoing joke.
For decades people ran large sums for others in LV, and the country didn't collapse due to money laundering.
Plus, the fact this guy was running for Walter's group is funny. They had him betting weird and precise amounts that made him stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. It's as if they wanted him to get snagged. If he wanted to operate under the radar, this was the exact opposite of how to do it.
I'm going to test the waters. If anybody asks me if I'm betting for anybody else, I'm going to say, "Yeah, my mother," and see what kind of response I get (she's dead). I'm going to get snarky and see if these idiots push back.
