He didn't go there for the purpose of stealing chips to cash in, he went there because he bet someone he could steal over a million dollars in chips and get away with it. Doesn't necessarily mean he has to cash them in. It is vegas after all. A bet is a bet.

^ Exactly, maybe it has nothing to do with the chips. Maybe it was a distraction for something else that's really happening... maybe he knows someone on the inside and they needed a way to initiate the secondary set for whatever reason...

I wonder how much was actually stolen? You know the Casino probably made some money from insurance by misrepresenting what was actually lost.

They were chips, not currency, so the chips don't have any real value to the casino other than they're replacement cost do they?
They just take those ones out of circulation and have some new ones made.

"Money isn't everything, but it's right up there next to oxygen."
That was a favorite quote listed on the Facebook page of Anthony Michael Carleo, 29, who was arrested Wednesday night by Las Vegas police in connection with the brazen Bellagio armed robbery that netted $1.5 million.
Carleo, also known as Anthony Assad, is the son of Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge George Assad and is a UNLV biology student.
He was arrested after he met undercover officers to sell high-value chips taken in the Dec. 14 heist, law enforcement sources said.

Ripping off the Mafia is not a good choice if you plan a long and untroubled life. They have a poor sense of humour when you rip them for a mill plus...

So many retards in this thread who can't read. They replaced a million chips on the floor, the guy didn't steal a million chips nor did they replace $1 million worth of chips. Also, they did not lose out on $2.5 million, they only lose out on the cost of the stolen chips to produce. The deactivated chips still at the casino have value, they can be reactivated at a new frequency, or stored as backup chips for the next time something like this happens. Posted via RS Mobile | |

This guy is an absolute idiot. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011...ts-all-chatty/ Quote:
For the next 20 minutes, Brooks tried to build a rapport with Carleo over the phone. Brooks said Carleo asked him if he wanted to see a picture of the chips. Before he knew it, Brooks had been e-mailed eight images of two $25,000 Bellagio chips. The chips were placed in different positions on a sheet of loose leaf paper as if Carleo was modeling them in a photo shoot.
One picture had a handwritten message from Carleo: “To Provotrout: Good Luck My Friend …” and signed it “Biker Bandit 1/26/11.”

So what would you do if you had just robbed a casino for $1.5 million? Maybe lay low for a while, or even leave the country for a bit? Well, Carleo decided to get a hotel room in the Bellagio, gamble a lot, and then brag and try to sell $25,000 chips on the internet, police told the AP. Carleo had recently been running around Vegas calling himself a "made man" according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Before the heist, Carleo had mentioned to a poker dealer at the Bellagio that to rob the the place, "All you need is a black mask and a motorcycle, and I have a motorcycle." What a fucking idiot.
