as it relates to the whodunit part of this thread.

this from an article on calvinayre.com

Is it really the case that increasing resources (e.g., more staff, more cameras) and putting in better control procedures, to minimize/eliminate risk of cheating, will have a dramatic impact on operating costs. Many itt seem to think so. I’d love for someone to provide realistic dollar estimates supporting this.

Don't know him, didn't play w/him, but anyone in the final 27 hailing from the same hometown as Christian Lusardi needs to be scrutinized, regardless of his prior arrest record. if this guy is isn't a part of Team Scumbag, i'll gladly buy him dinner at N.O.W.

"Investigators said the dirty wheeler and dealer put the fake chips into play several times during the tournament, pulling in nearly $7,000." so a dealer is involved too?http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1590991

I've been spammed with home game invites from the Johnny Le guy...I dug up his email address and found a facebook page.

He is friends with a Le Anh Thu
could be his wife Thu Le

Idk rules about posting really so I didn't post his wife's picture but its easy to find...Would be REALLY interesting to see if its the same Thu Le in the final 27

Typically house men in NC all know each other and support other area games

LOL, I'd assume you're joking, but seeing as you provided a link to the article, maybe you're serious. Just in case:

One of the problems of writing a long post on a forum full of ADHD degenerates is the issue that said degens won't make it past the first 2 sentences. Those that do, and are even featured prominently in the the long post, tend to try and read it all. However, by the third sentence they become drooling, addreall deprived monkeys and like monkeys are only thinking, "when will this end so I can play with my penis?". Comprehension abilities vanish when the mere thought of masturbation enters the monkey's brain.

I'm not sure when your penis (and diddling it) first entered your mind, but nothing in my post even suggested that I questioned the undeniable fact that there were counterfeits introduced. In fact, I tried to make it clear that the amount introduced should probably never impact TD's thinking because 1% is completely acceptable variance.

TL/DR - Don't think about your penis so much.

This is now the biggest issue IMO. How many scumbags will see a complete moron almost pulling this off. If he had been more careful and less greedy there's every chance he could have got away with it.

Damn those dirty wheelers

At least Ken Lambert isn't the TD at Borgata - He'd probably bail out Lusardi from the AC Jail and comp his room for the 2 day inconvenience.

yes.. but other thread please

i could not agree more.

however, one of the reasons that places like Reddit have zero tolerance for doxing is that people who are innocent can get hurt (physical and reputation) when assumptions like this create mob mentality.

I know you did not dox anyone and I know this is NVG, but I think the common hometown is not enough to proclaim guilt. Fwiw, I remembered that this kid was called out as a "guaranteed conspirator" because 1. He was Asian so therefore HAD to be involved with Men Nguyen, and 2. because he had this previous arrest.

When I saw the Raleigh reference in the first official reports of Lusardi's arrest I knew it would only be a matter of time that this kid in the final 27 would be proclaimed guilty once again due to the NC connection.

It turns out that the early proclamations guaranteeing that MTM was the mastermind and that this kid was still a horse of his were baseless. Perhaps it would be fair to let it play out.

I suppose though that it is possible the kid and Lusardi are both part of Men's stable since this was the first time it was confirmed that an actual Asian actually lives in NC.

Why would they surrender them vs blind them off, so the total chip counts do not change?

I would guess speed of the game, but I think logic and tracking trumps the small timesavings offered by surrending. (ie. removing from play)

Fixed your link...

Speaking of margins of error, why has the discrepancy about our calculated 1.1 million difference in chips, and the reported "800k" in chips, not been pointed out? Is the 300k difference covered by color up errors/variance?

There are plenty of issues with photos taken with camera phones, but this statement is just dumb. I assume the rest of your post is of equal quality.

ty sir. asked mod to fix in my post.

forgot to do the QA after developing the code

I thinK HE meant TINA!

Well there are so many other reasons, borgata will do right thing.

Boyd Gaming Corporation
NYSE: BYD - Jan 24 4:02 PM ET

Open 10.40

Low 9.67
Mkt cap 1.05B
P/E ratio -
Div yield -

The outcome from chipgate will not have much of an impact on investors. BYD had over a 50% ROI last year, it's the low expense high income online gaming market that drives this company, not bricks and mortar operations in places like Atlantic City.

A single day drop during a long overdue correction in the markets has nothing to do with Borgatas live poker operations.

Is this Thu Le the same as the final 27?

Was the post on someone talking to a supervisor saying they would refund deleted?

People need to stop drinking the Borgata kool aid.
I'm surprised that more participants are not demanding refunds.
The Borgata failed in its job to provide a safe and secure venue. They stretched its staff too thin. They ignored the signs of cheating
From a very early point on day one. It was brought to Tabs attention on day 1b that 5 k chips didn't look right. The problem here is there are too many Pot smoking P""ssys playing these days with no other plan in life that they are too lazy to stand up for player fairness. If I went to the store and bought 4 loafs of bread only to get home and find them all moldy. I would go back to the store and demand a refund. The pot smokers would just get the munchies and eat the Borgata bread.

My two cents on yjbic's confession. I've read most of this thread over the last two days. When I got to his posts, I thought, well nothing here I haven't already seen itt. No idea why people are impressed with his knowledge of the chips clogging a Harrah's toilet. I mean I'm reading this thread from my bed watching cartoons with my son a thousand miles away. I could have written a confession with the same info.
