Massachusetts ‘Gaming’ Future
Casinos track 90% of their patrons through their Reward Card programs. This allows them to know the exact amount of money and time those enrolled in these programs is spending in the casino. This information allows the casino operators along with their employees to know when their patrons are gambling excessively and losing extravagant amounts of money. But when casino patrons are busted for embezzling or scamming someone out of their money in order to feed their casino gambling addiction the casino operators are allowed to keep the stolen money. Even when the money is wired from the victims bank account directly to the casino. Now the reason for this is because of the tax tribute casino operators pay. Here in Pennsylvania where I live the casino operators are paying 55% on slots and 14% on table games.
Associated Press - August 16, 2013 - NJ man gets prison for $1.3M fraud against nuns
A New Jersey man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for defrauding two nuns and about 50 others out of at least $1.3 million.
Adriano Sotomayor, 55, of Margate, N.J, was sentenced Thursday by a federal judge in Philadelphia. He had pleaded guilty in February to 17 counts of wire fraud.
Federal prosecutors contend Sotomayor falsely told a nun in Puerto Rico that she was the beneficiary of $2.1 million estate. She wired him about $255,000 for what he said were taxes and fees associated with the fake will. Sotomayor directed the nun to send many of the wire transfers directly to various Atlantic City casinos, where he received them.
A Pennsylvania nun, also with the Sisters of the Rosary of Fatima, and other friends later began sending funds on the Puerto Rican woman's behalf.
Sotomayor threatened the nun with media attention and legal action if she failed to pay the fees associated with the will he had made up, according to the indictment.
The scam ran from May 2009 to November 2011
