Again with the cards metaphor. You bankrupted three casinos. You don't know shit about cards.

Well, that’s true, but he was laundering a TON of money for some very bad people and had a hellacious coke habit at the time. Human trafficking, drug running, plus standard boring fraud and ponzi stuff.

Anyway, shit started to get a little too hot, so he agreed they would sell it for parts, stick loser investors with the bill and then do it again. And again. Worked out great for him.
