Canadian High Roller owes 5Million to Las Vegas Casinos!

Can you imagine? Nevada Prosecutors are after a Canadian Gambler who owes various Las Vegas Casinos a total of $5 Million!

Semion Kronenfeld is sought for felony theft charges and bad check charges a warrant was issued last month. Checks totaling 1.7 Million, 2.3Million and 1Million were written to Green Valley Ranch Station last year in October.

How do Casinos let you write checks for that much?? Man, they must really be needing the cash if they let "unknowns" give them checks for this much without doing the obvious checking needed to make sure those checks are covered!

My thoughts on this are;

A fake check was printed out with a fake bank phone number. The casnio called this number to varify the amount, someone at the other end told the casino the money was in fact in their bank and it was ok to cash the checks.

Since it seems this was all done in one month, perhaps in a weeks time, this gave the person at the other end time to close shop at whatever place he/she had rented and boogie out of there.

As you mentioned catwoman, it is quite amazing that the person at the other end was not caught. And it is even more amazing the person presenting the checks to get caught.
But that probably couldn't be helped due to cameras in the casinos.
