I got word second hand from Robin Hood that he is actively working with Bellagio security to look at the facts and determine what action to take.

Thanks for the continuing support 2p2.. To paraphrase Wayne's World, "Im not worthy!"

I mean so after thinking about it i say yes he should get 100 %.
Why?
Because it doesnt matter if you would have eventually discovered who he was.
Just discovering who he was doesnt mean you would have caught him..all it means is you knew who he was.
What if the cops would have showed up 4 days later and found that oxy codone head had fled to mexico.Well opps i guess that blows thier theory about "we would have caught him".
If they in fact acted directly on the info given by this man went and arrested this guy then yes he should get 100% of the money

Who is Robin Hood is that Barry G? Bellagio is probably your best bet to get a substantial reward. All those high level poker players are friends with Bobby Baldwin and of course Bobby Baldwin runs Bellagio.

If this spins the right way Bobby Balwin can make his announcement of the award on 2plus2. If a way can be found to make this announcement a profitable thing for Bellagio that increases the chance for a decent reward.

I mean unless you have a name an arrest warrant and are setting up tactical operations to come flying through sombodys window you could Pheasible be "on the trail" for the next 100 f*&^*^g years.
Ohh and one other thing.When they go into court are they not going to present evidence that was obtained through this guy who's getting ran...of course they are.
wat?

Robin hood 702 is not Barry G. Do a google search.

Bellagio did not offer a reward although they should have.

Bellagio doesn't need to make his profitable and they don't want it to be overly advertised that someone walked in with a gun and robbed the place. The B most likely wants to get this debacle out of the public eye as soon as possible.

I'm sure the people who were at the craps table when it got robbed are lining up their respective lawyers to file suit as we speak. They were most likely traumatized and had their vacations ruined from the lack of security on the night of the armed robbery.

Any place can get robbed. Those lawsuits would be without merit. If the case had not been solved then I could see them wanting this not to be in the public eye. Giving a strong award for someone who did the right thing is the exact type of message they want to send. It encourages people to turn in other criminals.

They don't have to offer an award to give an award. What better story is there than a little guy helping out the casinos? The perception of casinos is that they have state of the art security and that they are sophisticated. The person who did this crime succeeded because what he did was so brazen and not because of a lack of security. It's pretty difficult to lock every single chip at all times.

This is a hot news story. What better way to get FREE advertising than to give a nice chunky award away to someone that helped catch a thief. People LOVE that type of stuff. It's the same thing as a picture with a big jackpot check.

That's exactly how they should do it too. Have the guy hold a big check and be really cheesy about it and invite all the media. It's a brilliant move. Every casino wants their money to be viewed as soft and easy to get in a gambling sense. What better way to have that perception than to give some of the money away that they would have lost anyway?

If the guy who did this crime was even a little bit more clever they wouldn't have gotten any of that money back. A nice 10 percent of the stolen amount with a big ole cheesy check right on the Las Vegas strip. Fly him out invite the mayor of Las Vegas. The city needs something to feel good about anyway and it's in Bellagios best interest if those people feel good at the bellagio.

You obviously missed out on grade school english lessons in which basic punctuation is taught. I re-read the post and it still makes no sense. The edited version is a bit more cohesive but you telling me to 'learn to read' is laughable.

BOL to Provo, I think all that can be constructively contributed to this thread has been said until new information is introduced.

Thanks, and agree on TTHRIC atm. Ftr I read the police report a couple times today. In no way do I want to discount the efforts and information supplied by other witnesses. RH should direct the reward at those that fulfilled the terms of his original offer.

Obv I can't physically conduct a citizens arrest but I did everything within my power to turn in information expeditiously and stay out of law endorcements way during the remainder of the investigation. Good luck to all involved. This will probably be resolved soon.

so what youre saying is your reading comprehension skills are so bad you have to read the same thing at least 3 times to finally come to the conclusion that you did not help speed up the investigation and law enDorcement would have still got carleo with the undercover sting that the c/i 100% helped them set up regardless of your info? at the same time that they did get him?

oh yeah you have me blocked

bravo, i say you deserve it all. you def are the reason he got caught.

Except there are probably quite a few people who would have kept silent on the issue. I think the guy who got arrested looks a bit crazy. How long is in jail?

I don't think I would have got involved. It really wouldn't be in my best interest reward or not.
