Smacky636 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/14/nevada.bellagio.robbery/index.html?hpt=T2 Police say they're trying to find a helmet-wearing gunman who robbed one of Las Vegas' most recognizable casinos of $1.5 million in casino chips Tuesday morning -- and may also have robbed a different casino last week. With a helmet and visor hiding his face, the man rode to Bellagio casino on a motorcycle, walked inside and pulled a gun at a craps table where several people were gambling at about 3:50 a.m., said Lt. Clint Nichols of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Niice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotsauceinthedickholewastaken Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 So when you rob a casino of their chips don't you have to cash them in at the same casino? I've never been to a casino so I wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 yes, so you get another person to cash it in a few at a time. smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Is he planning on cashing them in $100 worth at a time? I'm pretty sure the casino will be looking at people's winnings a lot more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bububublah Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It would be weirder to see someone doing only $100 every now and then in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicenemyno.3 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 this is a pretty stupid crime imo. why not just rob a bank or some place that has real cash instead of glorified monopoly money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If there is one thing the FBI is exceptionally good at (besides setting up innocent Somalian teenager and their Pakistani friends) it is catching bank robbers. Bank robbery, casino robbery, armored truck robbery...you're living on borrowed time afterwards regardless. The best true crime stories are the ones about people who get away with wild heists.

Smacky636 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 on another BALLSY note.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper D. B. Cooper is the name attributed to a man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the United States on November 24, 1971, received $200,000[1] in ransom, and parachuted from the plane. The name he used to board the plane was Dan Cooper, but through a later press miscommunication, he became known as D.B. Cooper. Despite hundreds of leads through the years, no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced regarding Cooper's true identity or whereabouts, and the bulk of the money has never been recovered. Several theories offer competing explanations of what happened after his famed jump, but the F.B.I. believes that he did not survive.[2] The nature of Cooper's escape and the uncertainty of his fate continue to intrigue people. The Cooper case (code-named "Norjak" by the F.B.I.)[3] is the only unsolved U.S. aircraft hijacking,[4] and one of the few such cases anywhere in the world, along with Malaysia Airlines Flight 653.
