    What a Banker.

    This story has a happy ending after all. The Missing Check arrived today, 12 calendar and 10 USPS business days after the first three and since none are post marked, who knows when they were mailed. The date of The Missing Check is the same as the first three and the check number is second to lowest of the four. Mailed from Vegas - a three hour drive from L.A.
    It is pretty clear where the SOURCE of this BS lies. Looks like the BANK cut all the checks in one go, then tasked someone to ARTIFICIALLY slip them in the mail at the rate of one a week, but perhaps this "someone" went on holiday, fell sick, or just forgot, so the last check sat in an in-tray for a while till someone at the bank noticed it, and realised it needed to be sent.

    It almost seems as though the banks are conspiring with the processors to make these transactions, but are trying not to get caught doing so by the DoJ. Perhaps by delaying the posting by a week between checks they do not have to declare the transactions as a single unit, which would be above $3000. I suspect the rules state that splitting a payment, but sending all the parts out at once, still means it has to be declared as a single transaction. UK banks have similar rules with regard to money laundering, and to avoid having a transaction reported, people split it up into smaller units - this also helps with tax evasion, as well as money laundering.

    At Casino Action, I have noticed that while US members still play, they play a good deal less than in the past - easily spotted by looking at the live tournament scoreboards, where the player's country is given.

    The guy cashed out for $10,000 but only got $7,500 at first...eventually he got his final installment a month later. In my view the delays were outside the casino's control.

    To be fair to the player's complaint, the casino did a very poor job of communicating and told him several contradictory reasons for the delay which is quite frustrating when someone owes you money.

    Bottom line, nothing sinister was going on, and the player was paid and treated fairly in the end. That's what you can expect from an accredited casino from Bryan's forum.
