Based on this is seems clear to me someone else was in the room at some point.

The phone charger MIGHT have been left by a previous guest, but the key-card entry while he was off the premises is very interesting. And this is NBC, so we can believe it. /s

“earning at least $5 million in 2015”
I’ve read elsewhere that his “earnings” have the whiff of laundered money. Is it within the realm of possibility that this guy could regularly earn this kind of money from actual gambling?

Why not just review any of the hundreds of videos from the hotel of the elevators, hallways, casino, restaurants, lobby etc, the entrance etc. That is where his most of his movements and possible associates will be found or revealed.

What this means is he had $5 M in reported winnings. What were his unreported losings that would offset this.

I would say this has been done and we aren't being shown it.

If law enforcement are doing their jobs, they are doing just that. They may know things at this point which have not yet been disclosed to the media.
To: jonno
This screams money laundering.
He only played video poker and was heavily comped in his rooms. Statistically, the only game in Vegas an advantage player can beat the casinos is by counting cards in blackjack or by cheating in some way by hacking a slot machine.
If he really made $5 M gambling, he’d have been blacklisted from the casinos.
He was money laundering and using fake 1099’s from casinos is my guess.
To: Genoa
Yeah, there is so much we’re not be told...I believe they know damn well what the motive was.

I think the FBI and CIA were a little closer to this guy than they lead us to believe.

Gambling losses are exempt from taxes - yes?

Gun sales. Money laundering. Drug sales. Those are possible/probable. Gambling? No way.

To: AndyJackson
So he won about $14,000 a day that year?? Assuming he played 365 days a year.
Isn’t that a lot to win, to cash out and take home with you everyday?? Wouldn’t the casinos start to recognize this guy as a long term winner?

His loses would have been any money that was clean (or cleaned up).

Wow. Whoever linked his car being gone from the parking lot with entry into his room during that time is definitely turning over every stone.
Is there no hotel surveillance video in the lobby and hallways or what?

but the key-card entry while he was off the premises is very interesting. He could have left, then returned and temporarily parked outside and run back up to the room because he forgot something. I would be curious to see a more complete timeline synced up with the hotel's video footage of comings and goings.

The charger might belong to one of the cameras...or something he got rid of. I see no big deal in that. I have a drawer full of chargers which belong to God knows what...
Key card?? Need more information.

Paddock was a very successful gambler, earning at least $5 million in 2015
So he wins about $5 million gambling in just ONE year, and the casinos still let him in - and treat him like royalty?
