> The entire modern TV media industry has learned how much money/fame can be earned from exploiting overblown controversy. It's the substance of about 90% of non-fiction TV shows these days.
Considering this case was largely dead-out-of-water and how easy the villainization was - the legal arguments was easily discredited and obviously flawed.
There's very little substance to be found here... or many lessons to be learned that aren't obvious to experienced internet denizens.
But what is on display is social media marketing at its finest and a perfect example of what modern entertainment has become.
Pretty ballsy even with a bodyguard, all it takes is one bad bank teller to hand off your name and/or address. Within a day every criminal in town knows your name and where you live and that you have $211k cash.
I lived in Vegas for a while and people walked around with chips all the time. Of course when I was at Intel I once had to carry six tubes of 80386 chips (A0 stepping) from manufacturing over to the design engineering guys. (it hadn't been released yet) and the stupid marketroid had to mention that there was probably a million dollars of black market silicon there. I wasn't nervous before starting out but was after that comment! Its all in one's state of mind.
No; cash chips. I wouldn't even consider the equity your share of chips in a tournament represents as 'cash' in any real sense (until you cash in the tournament at least)
Just to note that this was Inmans own money he used since at the time Carreon had tied up the money from indiegogo with red tape. Its nice to see him determined to go ahead with this regardless of Carreons actions.
No, you're thinking about another picture (which has been written about but not shown). This is probably the real deal and indicates that the money has indeed come through.
Side question: I posted this link earlier, and it went straight to [dead]. I figured, OK, maybe this is something of tedious topic by now and it was auto-killed. Yet here it is. Any ideas why?
