Re: Class President Robs Bank after running up Poker Debt
[ QUOTE ]
Daddy is obviously rich and I'm sure this isn't his son's fault, the online poker is to blame. [/ QUOTE ] "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
Also, he could western union the money off his credit card---easily the stupidest way to incur online debt. I would overdraft my checking account before I would western union money from a credit card...

lol, he got away with $2,781. [/ QUOTE ] 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.

Robbing a bank gets you a few thousand and the FBI looking for you. Robbing a 10/20 home game gets you upwards of $10K and depending on the game the police might not even be called.
