This sounds like it could be a new way to advertise. Cab driver a boss.

Reading Comprehension ITT: Haven't a few seemingly well-informed posters outed Zachary Clark aka crazyzachary aka nephew of Chip Reese as the player??? Why are people still speculating?

Nice to see everyone act decent and get what they deserve. Mr. Clark made the poker world look a wee bit less slimy with the 10k tip (assuming all those mentioning him aren't trolling, as I've no idea myself).

I think the most telling part of the whole story is that he left a greater than 50% tip before all the madness ensued, albeit on a $10 fare.

If you are dumb/drunk enough to leave 300k in a cab, you most likely won't even know where you lost it. You could have dropped it anywhere. You could guess it was in the cab, but you wouldn't be sure. There would also be no proof the cabby took it if there's no camera in the cab.

If the casino cameras see the player getting out of the cab without the bag, he could have easily hidden it. If the cabbie hides it himself, they would never see him leaving with the money.

Yeah, I'm confused by this as well. Or did people dismiss that info as further speculation?

I'm not sure that Zach Clark, no offense, is considered a famous poker player on tv.

I think it's Jeff Madsen.

the feds arent gonna go ape**** following a guy 24/7 over this and if he spends it non conspicuously it will last him a while and nobody can do a thing about it.

Every stop at traffic lights there will be cameras. Bellagio where I got in cab ( cameras) , my drop off (cameras) unless I picked a random isolated area. The cab will have a camera inside. They will track me to my room and or put my face on TV.. I'm going to be found out. No way to get away with this. Also you would have no time to plan. So the question is - would someone want to hassle with this. You would have to hide the money. You would have to lie to police. All for taking something that didn't belong to me.

yet there is zero proof as to what's in the bag. you would have to be ******ed to actually not be able to get away with it.and that's asuming they even actually track down the cab the guy was actually in.

Cannot believe the ppl that said he should have kept it. Its not yours. You dont get to just keep it. Doesnt matter if its a god damn $20 watch or 2M. Honestly, guy doesnt even deserve a reward. you dont deserve an award just because you do the right thing. Its great the poker player tipped the 11k because its his own rake for making the mistake. But if you flat out steal, yes steal 300k and you get found in a ditch somewhere because of it I have would have no condolences for you. Karma is a bitch for ****ty ppl,

can't be, there is no way you can fit 13 hookers in a taxi cab and still have room for a bag of cash.

You just hide money in front and do dozens of pick-ups and claim that you never saw it.

Unless there are cameras in the cab.

The key is doing nothing for 6 months. Have to be like Goodfellas. No new cars, minks, etc. In fact, get credit card and go into debt.

And then just move to a new town.

I don't know if it is worth $300k...

I know, it's crazy isn't it? One guy posted "CrazyZachary", and someone else posted "confirmed"...unbelievable that anyone would still speculate after that rock sold evidence. Must be that everyone has reading comprehension issues; that's the only explanation.

The cops have released still frames and videos taken from Vegas cabs over the years that shows they are watching the back seat passengers. It helps to have photos when you're looking for a cabbie killer.

But the quality is horrible in most of them. You're 3' away from the back seat and you still can't come up with shots of the passengers that their own mothers' would recognize?

Lol @ everyone talking about feds getting involved in an investigation into a cab driver stealing 300k. Feds have their hands full with all types of important investigations, it would be handled by Metro if the cabbie would've been suspected of stealing anything.
