Yeah, but we're talking $1.5 million in stolen chips. Circulating that much money is going to take a lot of effort. I mean, I can't imagine you just walk in to a private poker match toting a case of $25k Bellagio chips and everyone just assumes you're legit. You're going to be vetted... big time. I just don't get the angle. Why steal poker chips when there are other big-ticket items that are much more easily liquidated. Hell, gold has been well over $1000/oz for some time now. A 100 lb gold haul from a few jewelry stores will produce the same market value. You're going to take a haircut when you fence it, but who says you're not going to take the same haircut when you try to pass $1.5 mil in poker chips. I can reach only one conclusion: dumb criminal.
