In the words of Ace Rothstein in the movie Casino.
” You can spot these assholes by watching the way they bet. Like this guy. He's bettin' lavender chips at five hundred each with only one little problem. He's always guessed right. If he wasn't so fuckin' greedy, he'd have been tougher to spot. But in the end, they're all greedy.”
- Bluecobra 3y agoThis story reminded me of the payphone bandit, James Clark, who stole about $500k picking the payphone locks during the 1980s. Had he kept a lower profile, payphones eventually became obsolete and he might have gotten away with it.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoShortly before they became obsolete, payphones over here switched to pre-paid cards, which made them less convenient / ad-hoc to use and may have contributed to their decline (mobile phones being the obvious one of course).
