Re: Absolute Cliffsnotes (Mod edit: AP thread, part 2)
To those wondering how someone could be so dumb as to make this whole ordeal so obvious, I'll tell a short that is somewhat similar to this, in a way.
2 online friends discovered some bug at an online casino's blackjack tables. I don't know how it worked, but it gave them a certain edge. They recruited a few people (myself included) to make accounts and link w/ Neteller and so forth and we'd get a % and they would just use our accounts so that they didn't run their own accounts up huge.
They would then cash out ~$1,000 at a time once a week on each account, leave enough in for variance, rinse & repeat. After a while they got greedy, started betting huge amounts, and before long were making $10,000 cashouts (or whatever the max cashout was, I believe this was the amount). Very soon after they started the max cashouts, all accounts were closed down and remaining money confiscated.
These were very smart guys (one of them posts here quite a bit), but greed [censored] up a very good money-making scheme for them (and us).
