Yes, if you have either a super-low profile or a good disguise in addition to adequate fake identification.

But dreaming about schemes is always easier than executing them.

A disguise sounds like a good idea. If you ever try it let me know.

I spoke to tuan tonight at the commerce. he confirmed that hassan staked him in the tournament, as he has been doing for some time. he was surprised that you didn't know it. so I guess I got at least 2 out or 3.

I talked to Tuan tonight also. Although you were not exactly right, you were closer than I was. Tuan won the satellite on his own and was not staked, which I knew because I was there. But once he won the $10,000 seat he wanted to sell off some pieces because he was short on money. He had been sharing a room with Hassan because there were no rooms available when Tuan showed up at Foxwoods. Hassan paid Tuan's share of the room and gave him an extra $2,000 cash for 1/3 of his action in the tournament. Tuan sold 17% to a close friend and swapped 2% with another. So, he was not staked but as you (snakehead) stated, he only made about 50% before taxes. Hassan paid for the plane ride home once Tuan won and I would expect some parties will be on him.

By the way, Tuan took the money in cash because he didn't have a bank account (not that atypical among my Vietnamese friends) and he was unable to get ahold of me for advice when it came time to take the money. He brought it on the plane in a plastic bag, which he put under his seat on the plane ride home. He was stopped when he got off the plane in LA. He convinced the cops that he won the tournament and they let him go without calling Foxwoods.

He offered to let me hold the money because he was afraid he would make some of the mistakes that he had in the past.

isn't it spelled "hasan"? can you ask tuan about that?

[ShamaLamDingDong]

Lets say they look at your identification when you win and record your name. Do they record anything else such as social security number? If not, well many poeple share the same names (maybe not in this case), so whose to say it wasn't another John Doe or whoever?

If you don't have your SSI on you, a large cash win will not be transferred until you can verify your SSI. Uncle Sam is very stingy about letting HIS hard earned dollars get away. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Suggesting there are casinos that do not. There is no such casino in America (legal one that is) that does not by federal law. Again Uncle wants his hard earned dollars up front. And he has the [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

This is wrong. I've cashed at Foxwoods often enough to know. They do require that you register with a Wampum card, and you need some form of identification to get a wampum card, but it does not need to include your SSN. A driver's license, sans SSI, will do.

When I won $5M at Binions, they also did not require proof of SSN. Just my license.

I've had a bunch of 1k+ tournament wins at several casinos and the only thing ever required is a drivers license. They do always ask for the SS# and give me a W-2g.
