A Long Shot is Better than No Shot
True, the Samuel McMaster Jr story is pretty silly, but consider the victims. Obviously they'd like to see both; but if given a choice between sending the guy to jail or a slim chance of getting their money back, they'll take the money. There is a way this could work, given ideal conditions, in spite of very long odds.
If said con man is able to play better than break even poker while mega-tabling for say 18 hours daily, the rake back could cover his nut. Actually, the idea of this criminal being stuck in ultra grinder's perdition with no chance of financial gain almost qualifies as punishment. Almost!
NOTE: This BTW is my last contrarian post. This time i mean it.
