Lottery-scamming brothers avoid asset seizures by transferring property to their mother

This article seems to make it like it is easy for the states to go after the property but there are so many legal hoops they have to jump so it will be a while before they try to claim it.

For instance if one state claims the house that leaves the other three out in the cold and now you have to find some money that is equal value to give to the other states.

Now that the mom has co-mingled the property with hers the states can now go after her and seize any and all of her propert... [ More ]

it's all probable.

I just thought it was funny the day after reading about all the efforts to insure a fair drawing, the same three digit number is drawn midday and evening.

No, rarely play those lotteries. BTW on TPIR yesterday the prize was worth $9030 (or 9020?); later on WOF a vacation prize had the same value. Dummy me goes out after Jeopardy! to play str/box $5 for a total of $20. Didn't come in, would have been a nice payday had it though.

Neither of those is actually all that strange. The exact same numbers coming up for both Pick 3 drawings in a day has probability of 1/1000, and can be expected about once in three years. The same numbers in different orders coming up in consecutive Pick 4 drawings is a bit under 24/10000, and can be expected once or twice a year.

Well, let's simply adversely possess all of their properties and funds, put all three of these perpetuel criminals in prison for 25 years, and assign each daily latrine cleaning duties to offset their daily expenses.

True, which is one of the reasons l posted the behavior Eddie will be displaying while in prison. The parole hearings will come up, but once the camera's pans to Mrs Tipton,who obviously will be sitting in the front row Stack, what the judge viewers will see, is a Mother's concern for his wellbeing. It goes without saying that Eddie will have lost considerable weight, lean now a spiritual man. In fact l will wager that the warden could go so far as to say Your Honor, what you see before you is a... [ More ]

It all depends on when Eddie gets his first parole hearing and how the board ranks his crimes.

Did you see where 924 was drawn in both the KY's Midday and Evening drawings last Sunday or where 8320 was drawn in the pick-4 last night and 2083 was drawn this afternoon?

Not reading anything into it, but it does add fuel to the conspiracy fires.

The article says Eddie is in prison for up to 25 years. I will bet that Eddie is going to be a stellar inmate, crossing all the t's doting the i's .Might even take up religion while inside. The makings of a truly rehabilitated individual, walking with angels, so to speak. Gets out in under 15 years returns to his millions. This guy has it all planned out, and a big Thank You to Ma.After all, that's what Mother's do, look out for their kids.

Any property or assets transferred after the charges were made should be subject to seizure.

I agree that they should be, but they're not. There are plenty of laws allowing you to recover money from somebody that owes you money for one reason or another, but there are also laws that let people make their assets untouchable, while still retaining full control and practical, though not legal, ownership. The trust that owns the home mentioned in the article is one example. The trust is an indep... [ More ]

It's not directly related, but I've wondered if what a lot of us have been doing on here for decades wouldn't be illegal if we were successful and if the lottery authorities knew. Systems to win against casinos on a blackjack table are definitely illegal to use in some states and will get you banned from casinos everywhere if you get caught using them. They call it 'cheating' if you figure out a way to improve your odds against the house.

But the Lottery Systems forum, the Math Forum, even... [ More ]

I agree, this is INSANE!! Why would they allow this and not go after the properties?

I have often said its simple for the government to put a 'hold' on all your properties with the clerks. That way the court has to approve any changes. Kinda like freezing your credit report.

Hot lotto was a rng game, meaning computer generated numbers. Not a floating ball game. Lol

IDK about your state but I assure you this is not the case in KY. If you want you can witness the drawings here. I know Chip Polston will back me up on this. They used my question on the air and demonstrated how they weigh each ball for their drawings. So your theory is bunk IMHO.

In Flatonia, Texas anyone who owns a $780,000 house is a big man. And I do mean BIG man. But if you want to be the physical size of Eddie it's near-certain you'll be a sheriff deputy.

But you wouldn't expect a guy who figured out how to beat the lotteries to be a little bitty pea-shooter of a guy living in a shotgun shack down in the slave quarters..

Is everybody just plain stupid or what? These brothers just proved to us all that every lottery is NOT random, the numbers are predetermined well in advance which means a computer and it's program determines the outcome of which tickets win and lose..I'll bet the farm you will have the losing ticket, and anyone who is associated with the crooks that are running the lottery are laughing all the way to the bank.The scam is not on the brothers, hell I commend them, it is on THE SCAMMED PLAYERS.

I still stand by what I said months ago even though some members shot me down. Had this been drug dealers, the Feds would have seized all of their assets hands down. Personally this sickens me to the core. As for Mom not stating what she paid for the properties, that is public record and certainly the newspaper will find out.

Best part of it for me is they will be convicted felons unless somehow they get 'lucky' to have their records expunged. Don't see that happening in a million years... [ More ]

Any property or assets transferred after the charges were made should be subject to seizure. Seems the brothers have friends in high places.

Lottery-scamming brothers avoid asset seizures by transferring property to their mother

Lottery Post — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 01:50:09 GMT

By Jason Clayworth

Two brothers who were behind the largest lottery scam in U.S. history and owe more than $2.3 million in unpaid restitution and court fees recently transferred several properties they owned to their mother.

The transfers from Eddie and Tommy Tipton have raised further questions about why four states Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin and Colorado have yet to seize their properties.

It has been about two years since the brothers admitted their role in a scam that hijacked lott... [ More ]
