Bellagio Bandit was a Gambling Forums Poster

[Chimneyfish]

Dude was on TwoPlusTwo asking people how they would hypothetically cash out the chips if it were them. He eventually called another poster from the forums and admitted he's the guy who committed the heist, and discussed ideas about to do with the chips. The poster on the phone hung up and immediately called the feds.

Being an internet forum, the guy naturally asked for pictures to prove this was the real deal. Here's what was sent:





There's a lesson in giving out too much info about yourself while you're trying to brag on the forums. I'm trying to find out what screen name he used to see if he's ever posted here. Looks like it could have just been "BikerBandit" but nothing's coming up.

I think Biker Bandit was probably what he called himself after the heist not before.

[marcoloco]

pretty interesting. dude should of cashed in a few and just cut his losses. I am sure the greed got to him. But really there was no way he was going to get away with that. You have to return what you stole to get money for it lol

[Chimneyfish]

Looks like the guy was real mouthy at all the tables too. Todd Brunson was well aware of him:

Caught by his own ego it sounds like.

He should have read Brock's bank overpaymed me thread first

[ProfaneReality]

that's brock landers cousin.. I guess it runs in the family of blabbing your crimes to a forum

[Glitch]

i dont think an sbr member would have ratted him out.

[Chimneyfish]

Screen name "oceanspray25". I'm not sure how to search member names on here.

[maersksealand]

last thing we need is Media and Gov. attention on this site

[robmpink]

I'm just trying to get in his head. Could someone really be this dumb or did he want to eventually get caught?

Big balls, no brains.

There was a $50k reward. Some guys here would rat their mother out for 50 points.

Been hearing some stuff here and there about this guy from people that ran across him or sat at a table with him. He was real pushy about trying to sell these 25k chips. Apparently he wanted 40 cents on the dollar. He'd brag about being on an Oxy binge since the robbery- real erratic, emotional kind of guy. Everyone said he was horrible at poker- he probably would have just lost all the money away at the high stakes tables if he didn't get caught. He was living at the Bellagio on a comped room.

[Mikail]

Epic fail! He was in the clear if he had patience and laid low. Unfortunately for him he had no self control and ultimately is responsible for his predicament.

[gafl]

Think after the robbery, they stopped using the 25k chips. Who would buy those chips from a stranger?

[warriorfan707]

I was his partner.

[warriorfan707]

The real question is, how did such an absolute moron get away with the chips in the first place?

Astounding.

[Chimneyfish]

Just sounds like a brute force kind of job. Walked in the door, pulled a gun, and started grabbing chips.

Ocean's 11 made it seem so much harder.

[warriorfan707]

Yea that part is easy. But getting out without encountering any resistance and then getting away on his motorcycle?

Just doesn't seem right.

[bradnowell]

went from genius to DUMBASS

[warriorfan707]

One word

Overconfidence.

[wisky]

What a nut, had to be on drugs.

[mr. leisure]

Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed

[itchypickle]

Did the note really say "cranberries are good for the liver" ? Thats the most random shitt ever.

[Chimneyfish]

You realize that 25k chips are called "cranberries" (because of their color), right?
