Sex traffickers hide money in casinos is what the link is about.

you dont deposit money into casinos you burn money at a casino. like wtf? the girls were given drugs? lol nope try again. but id say that too to beat a drug charge. this is bad. really bad. im having trouble putting together just how bad for the industry this could be, and im really good at calculating risks. but im willing to say this is tantamount to shutting down adult sites like eccie under the implication there are underage girls or women in general being forced to sell themselves. how far is this blanket of bullshit under the guise of sex trafficking going to go?

How the fuck do you deposit $ in casinos?

Do you exchange it for chips and then hide the chips somewhere?

Do these reporters really believe the BS they write and dish out to the public?

You would think reporters will check the facts before they broadcast it or write it.

It's like those idiots at FOX station San Francisco after the Asiana airliner crash:

https://nationalpost.com/news/sum-ti...-san-francisco

Seriously! No one did any check and balances of what was going to be broadcast on live news before the broadcast?

Someone had to type it out into the teleprompter too before the live news broadcast goes on the air!

And if someone did, those names didn't raise a red flag?

It's not like the folks in San Francisco never met or known an Asian person before.

San Francisco and the Bay Area have a large Asian population.

Most of the Asians who first came to the USA over 200 years ago came into the USA through San Francisco.

Anyone reading those names before the broadcast would had known they were not real Asian names and would also have known they were meant to be racist.

What makes it BS? They based them story on court documents not some unnamed sources. Think about you can only put so much cash into so many banks before that becomes suspicious. They did that with over $1,000,000. The remaining bills, $5-6 million even if in all 100’s would be 50-60k bills. That’s a big pile to hide. Go to the casino buy some chips play a few games and walk out. Makes sense to me

Buy $6 million of chips, play a few tables, and then walk out with the remaining chips or exchange them for cash first before walking out?

Such a large amount in chips exchanged for cash, doesn't the casino ask you to fill out any tax forms?

Most I played at any casino was a couple of $100 at blackjack and never won.

If you win at a casino they tell you they are doing the tax form ( I won 2500 in s FL and 4000 in Vagas they did both times ) so Me think scare and deceive media story

speculation, but what I got from the Casino angle, is that Casinos were in cahoots with money laundering.. they would receive a large sum and open an "account", and you draw on that account as you play. obviously they would not give out millions of chips.. and if the money launderer wins big, no tax forms are filled out.. my guess, anyway. maybe the Casino keeps 2% of what is laundered?

Nobody is buying $6 million worth of chips in one setting. My guess is they did it over many many months.

Interesting theory. However my guess is those casinos make tens of millions of dollars Each year, possibly hundreds of millions. They are not going to risk that for 2% of $6 million

When I was in my early 20’s in Vegas for a convention. A work distributor friend handed me a marker to go cash and bring it back to him. (I just walked up to the craps table after a big commotion) I didn’t think anything of it so away I went didn’t even look at it. Handed it to the teller, $89K later with what could have been a fully clothed colonoscopy, I was escorted by security and “new friends” back to the craps table.

A couple years later he was busted for laundering money in a similar format.

My first real world learning curve.

They cashed the chip in and made you go play at the craps tables?

Is that legal?

Once you cash a chip in, you should be able to leave - you are not obligated to use that money to play at that casino.

A marker is a loan that the casino gives. They provided him with security and walked the trays of chips to the table he was playing at.

This is different from cashing out chips.
