The danger in this kind of crap for me that is circulating the internet is that when legitimate questions arise I will tend to discount them without giving them much thought.
Here is an area that I would like to know more. It seems to me that his pattern of gambling is similar to methods used to launder money. It also seems highly unlikely anyone makes money at a casino using electronic games. So, if he was laundering money what was the source?
He had two jobs that could have given him access to sensitive information. He worked for am airplane manufacturer and he worked for the IRS. Did he have top secret clearances?
If he began a short career in selling secrets was he ever caught? Apparently he came under FINRA scrutiny. Also, 5 million in gambling winnings would likely raise his audit potential. So if there are patterns of his behavior that are consistent with money laundering and he was never officially caught is this an indication that he may have been caught and was turned by our own government as an information source?
This could lead to a motive that some in the DOJ would like to avoid.
“It also seems highly unlikely anyone makes money at a casino using electronic games.”
Indeed. I briefly worked in the industry. One common technique is for the electronic games to report “hot players” to the staff - regardless of any reason why someone might be winning more than statistically normal. Anyone making substantial wins on electronic games will be deliberately bothered, distracted, or ejected. You’re NOT going to make a fortune on them.
