Re: Steve Forte arrested in possible poker scam
The article itself doesn't make much sense. Some real story has to follow from this. What I find interesting is the high profile "security" name attached. Steve is well known in the magic world for his videos, as a lot of card workers have gambling-themed acts that focus on spotting cheats.
I was surprised to see this on the magic forum before I saw it on any poker sites. That's why I posted.
What gets me about Forte's excuse is this: if he was "undercover" then the story would have been written differently, hailing him as a hero who helped the bust. If they knew who he was but he was truly on the up-and-up, why would you invite along a high profile security person on a heist? If they didn't know who he was, how smart was this crew? I mean,the scam would require a knowledge of who's who in vegas, and that would be a big oversight.
something is truly rotten in denmark here.
