Guys, i just saw Fox News and i saw there was a gambling ring bust in Arizona if i am not mistaken...I didn't pay too much attention because i just woke up, bu the sherriff was from Maricopa county so i am guessing it happened in Maricopa county...
There was 146 million dollars frozen, banks account fronzen and the Ring was known sometimes for not paying when someone will win...LOL
I don't know what this mean but they say it they take it seriously because it is a class 4 felony...(i don't know how many years that is)
That's what i am saying this people get soo greedy and i don't know what kind of gambling ring was, was it sport or lottery or what...
The ring leader or one of the ring leaders was slow because he drove a brand new mercedez with the license plate titled: BET2WIN....LOL

I'm gonna bet that they took a huge risk, especially knowing the odds of a successful venture ahead of time. They knew the stakes were high.
However, the house they were living in had the advantage because of the tight security. They finally gave up without a contest.
At the end though, they had no choice but to ante up all the money they made. The cops busted them based on a hunch, and it rewarded them with a huge payoff.
If they had only played their cards right, they probably would have gotten away with it.

What i learn from this is that a betting ring leader can make more money than a big drug ring/lord leader....I don't know why big drug lords don't start betting rings (like sport betting and Clandestine Raffles) and this way make more money or they can leave their old job...How often do you see a Big Drug lord have 146 million dollars in his account? Only the big ones that operate drugs geographically like from countries to countries (not country to country)....And i mean if they start a betting ring, they are going to be doing something that is not heinous, something that doesn't kill people and destroys people...A person may go to jail for it but the time is different from drug time....
But this drug lords are so retarded...They get so damn greedy (guys i condem selling drugs is just that the cases i hear about selling drugs are so funny)...YOu think that if i had 146 million dollars in my pocket i am going to continue selling drugs (i wouldn't do it in the first place but to make emphasis)....The other day i was watching a movie with Harrison Ford titled: "Clear & Present Danger"...And in the movie the number 2 drug lord of Colombia had the opportunity to become number 1 drug lord and had like hundreds of millions of dollars and still wanted to send drugs to the U.S knowing the high risk they present...And i sometimes think this people do it for the power & not for the money...But the retards don't know that How many people in Latin america have bank account of hundreds of millions...Only a handful...YOu can count them...Here in Panama i think that only 2 people of the entire population may have 100 million dollars...And i bet they are not Panamenian Residents but foreigners...The most i heard someone had here in Panama is 17 million dollars and that person was running for president and became president of Panama...
Is there a crime i don't condem is the betting ring (sport betting & Clandestine raffles), i don't know why in the world the government doesn't create free lotteries or don't give people the choice to bet on sports...I think other countries like italy & Brazil I think Sweeden & NOrway, Hungary, etc, does, where you can play a lottery that's based on the soccer games...You bet on the lottery to see which soccer team is going to win (or something around those lines).....
