Bellagio Chip Robber BUSTED (Judges son) - Poker News

In hindsight, I guess it's sorta obvious that it was some bankrupt schmuck. I liked it better when I was imagining some sort of badass motorcycling-riding triad-member or something.

It will be interesting to find out the details of how the police and him got in touch to make a deal on the chips.

He was PM'ing people on 2+2 and posting on Craigslist.

I would imagine he probably inquired with someone that he knows personally and that person called the police. Maybe that person had some legal issues he needed help with

honestly...what an IDIOT...

goes from working in casino's for money to save up for LAW SCHOOL...his father's a judge, and he own's a cpl businesses, then goes Life Busto....

it gets better...then he pulls off the SICKEST robbery of all time...not even the Ocean;s crew could pull something off this quick and smooth...and then he blows it by selling it to "random" ppl he doesn't know...what a goof ball...
I don't want to sound like a 20/20 hindsight guy,...but really? selling the chips to random ppl he doesn't know? What if those ppl got looked up for having those 25k flags...of course they'd rat this dude out...

ahhhh he shoulda pulled off the church/donation idea...I think that was his best chance..

Men the master has offered his services to retrieve the missing casino chips but he said he wasn't sure about the success rate since he's only an expert with tournament chips.

I'm genuinely surprised he was dumb enough to try and sell those 25k chips. Should've thrown them in the garbage and started selling the 5k chips maybe two years from now.

..Beats robbing a Stop and Rob convenience store. At least it showed ambition. What noble gambler with some larceny in his heart has not thought about robbing Bellagio? Our top movie stars make movies about robbing Bellagio. Little boys go to sleep dreaming of robbing Bellagio. I'd never do anything as violent as rob Bellagio at gun point, but I would like to steal a pile of money a show horse couldn't jump over from them

"According to newspaper reports and public records, Carleo was a longtime resident of Pueblo, Colo., where he was a real estate broker and owned two businesses, one a mobile disk jockey service, the other a limousine service co-owned with his stepfather, Gino Carleo."

Man... if those three so-called "businesses" don't scream out "broke-ass mother****er", I don't know what does. Especially in Pueblo, CO, where prisons are the biggest employer.
