Question about the Carleo's case.
I thought casinos included electronic or chip identifiers in their high-value chips? So in case of a heist of this nature the Casino would not actually get losses?
Also, If I was a casino I would certainly offer some NFC application for Android and IOS mobile phone to easily identify stolen chips.
This happened a long time ago and as you can see, the image looks very blurry so I am sure that there is no such thing as as that back in time but those things are now not surprising, knowing how things have evolved. Out of the 5 stories, it looks like everyone in the room agrees that the number one is the most funniest of them all.
There are truly some robbers who are dumb and don't planned their moves properly, which is why they could get caught easily. If only that guy just continue what he was doing, which is selling the chips inside the casino than the online forums, then I think he will surely cashed out all of it in no time but he got greedy and wants to make a bigger deal.
Number 1 is the funniest because it is so damn sophisticated and consequent, hell man it is consequent!
You go and play there, lose the money, then say fuck it I am going to blow this whole thing up!
And eventually, you don't just think that way, but you execute the plan in a way that even the FBI can't stopping you from pulling it off. I would still like to know how he managed to build this unstoppable bomb. I did a bit of googling but couldn't find anything about that. The dedication is funny in some way. If I wanted to build a bomb because I am mad, first I wouldn't know where to start and then I couldn't execute it even if I find plans on the Internet, but then to even build one that can't be defused, that is impressive...
It also need big balls to build a 1,000 pounds bomb in your basement or wherever and then drive it to the hotel. He probably played at the casino tables with the same confidence and lost it all!
