Mission, I’m with you on this one. I find this story interesting, because, well it’s interesting.

As far as what happened to Nestor’s winnings, the article and Nestor are not very clear. I can’t tell if his roommate gave it to the government, or if the Meadows got it back, or if Nestor still has it. And the article does give Nestor’s roommate’s name so the writer should have been able to track him down.

From the article: “ His roommate, Lavarde, signed over Nestor’s money in exchange for avoiding a trial of his own.”

But then the article later says: “ Nestor says the Medadows still has his winnings, and the IRS is chasing him for $239,861.04 in back taxes....”

What’s the correct version of what happened to Nestor’s money? If Nestor gave it back to Meadows as he said, why doesn’t he show the IRS he did this so the IRS quits chasing him? Why didn’t the writer check with Meadows to see what happened? This shouldn’t be up to debate.

Nestor changes his story so many times it’s hard to know what is true. I’m surprised the writer didn’t notice all the inconsistencies in Nestor’s story.

As far as Kane just sitting at a casino and playing nonstop winning jackpot after jackpot, it’s shocking he was that stupid, but apperantly he was.

Thanks for engaging me in this discussion. I’m with you, they did nothing wrong. Their only mistake was being so stupid and not having a better plan with getting away with it.
