This is a dumb question, but how do people accumulate debt through online poker? The only way I know of getting money to a poker site is through a bank account since almost all credit cards dont deal with gambling sites. Anyone?

Easy. Just make a deposit from your bank account when you don't have enough to cover it. Often, the bank will pay the EFT, and you'll be left with negative balance in your checking account. If you have 2 or 3 checking accounts, it would probably be pretty easy to run up 5k in debt.

I honestly have no idea why banks pay these if you don't have enough money in the account, but they do. A couple of years ago, Party took a deposit of mine from the wrong checking account (I had 2 registered with them) and the bank paid it and left me with like a -1200 balance.

Daddy is obviously rich and I'm sure this isn't his son's fault, the online poker is to blame.

"This is one of the nicest kids I've ever met, but his gambling addiction led him to make a terrible, terrible mistake," (his lawyer) told the Morning Call. "There's so much good in this kid. It easily outweighs this one bad mistake."

Mistake? Robbing a bank is a mistake?

"A double major at the school, Hogan turned to online poker to take some of the pressure off his hectic school life, and, according to his lawyer John Waldron, he soon racked up debts of $5,000."

Now THAT is a mistake.

I bet the teller was quaking with fear when Howdy Doody showed up with a note.

Re: Class President Robs Bank after running up Poker Debt
 

he goes 5K in debt. He robs a bank for 2K +. Yet he's able to post a 100K bond.

makes sense

I asked a cop I knew about this, and apparently bank robberies usually net you like 5K or less. Kind of a departure from movies where you rob a bank and you're set for the rest of your life.
