I'm all grumpy because I spent a few minutes crafting this reply to the cheating in Bobby's room thread. So you get the reply in here
Actually OP's story is about 85% right. The part that he's missing is that Gus was actually in on the scam. And it's pretty obvious as to why.
Gus Hansen was actually born Gustav Jacobsen. Although I won't get into the sinister reasons behind his name change (it involves a rabbit and a trip to Prague), I will point out something that many of us have known for years. If you rearrange the letters of Gustav Jacobsen, you get the following anagram:
Jab Vegan Scouts
Indeed he's hated Vegans as long as most of us can remember. Abe Mosseri is vegan. Tell me you didn't just tense up with excitement. But like the DaVinci code, this runs much much deeper...
Another anagram for Gustav Jacobsen is:
A Bacon Vest, Jugs?
Now all of a sudden there's meat involved, more specifically a vest made of bacon. And jugs. Well naturally that's...
Kathy!
There were no microchips. Just Gus wearing a bacon vest, defrauding people out of millions. Or maybe Kathy and Gus are the same person...
