That would be my cover story too.
Meanwhile, if you were an ATM company in the software testing department, what would be the absolute first test you would write?
"Find it".
I stayed at Harrah's St. Louis a couple of weeks ago (did not gamble) used their ATM for $300 withdrawal and it gave me three one hundred dollar bills.
“15 months for $1.5M? Where do I sign up?”
Yeah, that’s a sweet deal. I’d have bought Krugerrands, buried them, and just *said* I gambled it all away.
100,000 per month
~3334 per day
11 $300 transactions per day.
Multiple ATMs
Now...to make 11 trips to the ATM each day....
You gotta be drunk, stupid to gamble it all away that fast.
And almost every other retired NBA player
Yeah but this doofus has nothing to show for it.
He probably figured it was “Obama’s stash”.
Most ATMs have a “Would you prefer a Million Dollar Bill” button for large withdrawers. I’ve used it several times myself.
I believe there is a daily limit on ATM withdrawals.
If there is, this story is impossible.
Heck, I took my MIL to cash a check at her bank’s drive thru and when I counted the money, it was $5 over. We got back in line and gave it back. The teller actually argued that she had given us the right amount of money. Ever since then, she is borderline nasty when we go through the drive thru. I am guessing other employees heard us giving her the money back and maybe she is embarrassed? But she borderline refused to take the money and we had to drive off, leaving the $5 bill in the drawer. (The $5 was in between $20 bills and MIL didn’t even get any other fives.)
I always ask for the cash to be put in an envelope and she insists on putting it ON TOP of the envelope. Grrrrr....
Cash deposited = cash credited?
“deposit 10 dollars”
“screen shows 20 dollars”
“withdraw 20 dollars”
They don’t let you gamble that much at a casino anymore without keeping track of you. There is video. There is the players club card you swipe everytime you cash out.
Not condoning what he did but it does not seem like a crime, the bank allowed him to overdraw, a loan, which he did not pay back.
No different that people who took out large mortgages or HELOCs and did not pay them back, imho.
$1.5 million in cash and he gets 15 months? Where do I get that deal?
Gambled it away? Yea right.
Agreed. Couldn't the authorities claim the Casino(s) were guilty of receiving stolen property?
Great minds and all that rot; was thinking the same thing.
Someone else can chime in if they want but my ATM has a $200 PER DAY limit.
Now he may have used his debit card in machines in casino(s) but can't imagine how he could have "withdrawn" that much cash in 17 days?
