I am friends with a guy that owns a bail bonds company in California. He told me today that a guy wrote a bad check to the Cosmo for 1.5 million. They got him at the airport in Vegas today. He said I could post a redacted version of his email from the case file assigned to him.
I have to imagine that Cosmo didn't accept the check and give him any chips. Not for $1.5 million.
Even checks for $1000 get enough scrutiny to where they won't just hand that to anyone.
The guy was probably a broke moron who really thought this scheme could work, and the Cosmo likely called the police after the guy realized it wasn't going to work, and ran off before security could get him.
That's my best guess here.
It's also possible that this was a whale who then overextended himself, Terrence Watanabe style.
I will try and find out.
Happens every week.

EDIT. Just saw Dan said the same thing earlier.
This is what my friend told me:Quote:

It's a simple case of pay the casinos back and that's pretty much it.
It's a maker.
He knew the check was no good.
It seems like he is a millionaire and just doesn't care. I got his info but just didn't run the guy yet.
Just a small update. here is what my friend said:
"The total this guy gambled last month was 40 million dollars at Bellagio, Caesars, and cosmopolitan all together."
"I wish I can say who he is.....lol But confidentially issues wont allow me to spit it out. But I can say that once I found out who i unintentionally helped was, i was pretty surprised."
"We drank 5 bottles of Royal Salute 21yrs yesterday between 3 guys and 3 girls. "
"Man.... I wish I could take pictures yesterday. But it was not possible to. The girls there were super super pretty."
I asked who the women were:
"The girls at the private bar we went to."
Found out who this guy was. Don't know his name and I am sure someone can dig it up. The guy was the owner of Ebay in Korea.
