    Again with the cards metaphor. You bankrupted three casinos. You don’t know shit about cards.

      Well, that’s true, but he was laundering a TON of money for some very bad people and had a hellacious coke habit at the time. Human trafficking, drug running, plus standard boring fraud and ponzi stuff.

      Anyway, shit started to get a little too hot, so he agreed they would sell it for parts, stick loser investors with the bill and then do it again. And again. Worked out great for him.

      Don’t assume that a functioning casino was his goal. He enriched himself and made the right connections through his “failures” to keep doing it.
