It's good they arrest players for fraud. But I think they should arrest more players for robbery.

I feel like RealGM GB was way out front in calling this guy a fraud.

Guy got himself locked in after he heard Strahinja accepted his challenge.

I figured something small like this. Just some overdrawn checking account that we all tend to do on the occasion accidentally, but on a larger scale in public at a casino. Just one time, not like he's been doing this regularly scamming casinos. .
And then the media twists it up.


is this enough to get arrested?

not in the same league as an overdrawn checking account you cannot go to jail for that. he knowingly took money from the casino and did not pay it back. in Nevada it's a class D felony if it's over $1,200.

Not destined, but some people do have higher probability for sure. If there's nothing pulling things in other directions, it'll happen. It's both nature and nurture.

Guys like Morris' embrace some of the toxic elements of the rough hoods as their culture, rather than it being something to get away from and to be thankful that you've done so.

On a random note, I'm surprised Markieff is still in the league. He's arguably the worse of the twins at basketball. I guess if a team needs an enforcer, might as well choose the bigger one?

Why do you say fake? I don't know that much about them but both are from the serious hood of Philly and definitely grew up neck deep in very not fake stuff. Not saying they're in gangs or whatever but wouldn't be surprised if they'd follow through on a threat to f you up if you tried them.

They sounds so scary :o they might own a gun or something :o

I know, man, it's so tacky that some people grow up with violence all around them. It's like, get some better parents and socioeconomic status and lighten the f up.

At any other business it wouldn’t be, for a casino it is. You would be shocked at how much power these Nevada casinos have. They own the lawmakers and basically write the laws.

If you take out a paycheck loan and don’t pay it back, you get sent to collections, they might take you to civil court. You don’t pay a casino back, they take you to criminal court. They are the last business that you want to mess around with.

I have never figured which one was better. Early in their career, Markief was better, he was real big, where Marcus was still kinda SF, at least by 2013 standards, he was more versatile. And then few years later it seemed like Marcus became truly better, but then it flipped again. I guess Marcus peaked higher, but at the end of the day, both were similar.

Thoroughly unsurprised. Dude has been stealing money for years.
