As authorities pick apart the life of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, they have come across one major thread of suspicious behavior: how he handled his money.
In the last three years alone, more than 200 reports about Paddock’s activities, particularly large transactions at casinos, have been filed with law enforcement authorities, ABC News was told.
While some of the reports centered around "suspicious activity," most were "currency transaction reports," which casinos are required to file with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network when a person withdraws or deposits more than $10,000 in cash.

Could that have given him some temporary energy, assuming he was not using it for a malady.
I asked the same question last night. It appears to be “standard” corrugated tubing used in respiratory therapy equipment, IMO. CPAP machine? Breathing apparatus to avoid smoke inhalation when shooting?
Just watched his brothers second interview. He basically said his brother was a high roller or baller for all you youngin. He could walk into any hotel, say give me a room, and they would comp him a room for a week. So he gambled lots of money and I am assuming he was not a consistent winner. The Casinos would have not wanted him if he always won. So money laundering looks very possible.
We had a patron at the library who made his living gambling. At the end of the year, he would always make a donation to the library, mostly quite sizable but dependent on how his year went.
I’ve thought similarly - only fly in ointment is how any such gun running meeting would have been in a hotel that was ground zero for a 25,000 person concert weekend plus the room selected would be one with perhaps the best line of fire to wreak massacre havoc on said concert. Wouldn’t a more isolated secluded site have been better for such an illicit conclave? Of course, unless this was a “demonstration” of how well his alleged “products” could work.

Some suggest that he was getting talking points via earpiece in that interview. It did look suspicious. He changed his story a lot concerning his brother.
I don’t think the best card-counterin the world can beat a six-deck shoe with a one-deck deep cut card. I’ll be the house against the counters all day long.
That’s what I was wondering. Posted pic above.
Pass line bet in craps is the closest thing to even odds you can find and it still favors the house.
Clinton Foundation donor.
Wow. Will check that out.
Wonder if someone in Luxor was filming this Pyramid Sacrifice. Might want to check who had rooms on that pyramid wall.
He looked stoned to me. And where is his lawyer. Legally that was a train wreck interview.
Pass line bet, 10 to one odds. Still need a good shooter. Had a guy come up to me at a bar once and say, man, you should not have left that craps table. Apparently a guy got on a long good run. So good the casino changed the dice to very tiny die. He sevened out soon afterward. But everyone was up big by then.
Ok, gotcha. And, looking again there appears to be a mouth piece of sorts built-in in the original pictures.
I believe it is uploaded with oxygen, which does energize.
I knew of Mesquite, NV because I passed through it on a long road trip a few years back. I don’t know the DFW area all that well.
