The theory was that Bryan stole the $15k (three $5k chips), gave two of the chips to someone he owed (or lost them via gambling), and then cashed out $5k. So perhaps the $5k he cashed out is considered "stolen" from Hustler, even though it was Robbi's money.

Is that possible?

Or does it have to be two separate thefts, if charged as two different counts? Can anyone answer this?

Either way, it's clear that Hustler could have pressed charges from the start. I'm very curious as to why they didn't, and why the burden was on Robbi to do it. Indeed, the delay in pressing charges was what allowed Bryan to run off, perhaps out of state. I'm guessing he will not be extradited over this matter, if he's found outside of California.
Maybe because Hustler was not the victim of the theft, it wasn't taken from the cage.

Theoretically, only Robbi would know if he was not given permission to take them.
