Rob Singer came on this forum and gloated how he deceived IRS auditors about buying groceries, hosting parties, and having restaurant dinners with his wife as valid Schedule C deductions as a professional gambler. Then he publicly claimed he paid CASH for a $1.5-million Newell which begs for a cash transaction report.
That's enough, isn't it?
You're telling us that we should believe the person you just told us we should never believe? I'd say that's speculation at best and a vendetta at worst. But hey...if you now think Rob's word is enough to become an IRS whistle-blower on him then it's your civic duty to do it....and give us regular updates. Of course I'm a troublemaker so I'm probably not the best person to ask.
Not really. You can get the 8D AGM batteries for a Newell at most auto parts stores for about $460 each. It's a common thing discussed on Newell forums by dudes trying to hold together the 2-4 decade old ones. They worry about such matters because a $4K battery replacement is something for them to worry about. A dude that buys a new Newell will never sweat or mention the oil change cost. When is the last time you heard a purchaser of a new Bugatti talk about the oil change cost? There's plenty of dudes trying to stake a claim in Dreamland with old Lambos and Ferraris that worry about such things. But really most of them are passionate about their rides and do the shit themselves.
Rob has inflated the poor gas mileage, the cost of batteries, and tires for that matter.

The Bill of Sale says the sum is to be paid by certified check.
The bank that converted cash to a certified check would file the CTR, not the dealership...right?
I recall Rob writing that he withdrew assets held by a financial institution to purchase the RV, then deposited cash to replace those funds.
You've said this before MaxPen, but I don't understand why Rob is complaining about the operating costs of Newell. So he paid $1.5 million for a Newell, but he's keeping it in the garage because he doesn't have enough money to put gas in it, change the oil, or put new tires on it? That makes no sense.
I would have bought a less expensive Newell, so I'd have some money left over to put gas in it. That's just me. We're all different. There are still some nice Newells out there for only a million dollars, and then Rob would have some spending cash to keep it running.
Maybe next time when Rob exploits another bug, he'll think about his purchases more before he makes them. Sounds like Rob got out over his skies with this Newell purchase.
I will agree that Rob is the kind of player changing denomination frequently that could have stumbled on this double up bug. But he didn't! For each of the few things that say he could have, that it is possible, there are 10 that say he didn't. One of the big ones remains his comments form I think 2013 after the Wired story broke, when during discussion on this very forum, Rob stated "what Kane and Nestor did was illegal and they should go to jail". No one, and I mean no one having done that play would have stated that. If he had been caught which he now claims he feared he would have been sealing his own fate with that comment. You don't commit the brinks heist and then go on internet forums talking about it.
I will make one point of contention about that comment where you supposed "Rob's wife wanted to get him out of her hair for the day, so she peels him off a couple Benjamins to go play some video poker". Problem with that is you are familiar with Rob's claim regarding his poker play and Singer whatever system. He needed a BR of $57,000 I believe is the number....not a couple benny's.
And you most certainly know why everything to do with that original claim is BS. Just like all progressive betting systems, that require a large BR to score many small wins, you eventually hit that sequence that you lose the whole amount, wiping out all those wins plus some. Of course Rob with his special (less optimal) plays and rabbit's feet and whatever other hocus pocus he used, somehow never hit those sequences. As always he defied that math.
But otherwise carry on.

It's how people like Rob comfort themselves when they can't achieve their dreams. He lies in the bunk/bed, or whatever you call the sleeping spaces in a Minnie Winnie, rocking with every wind gust blowing thru the trailer park. He says to the wife, "At least we're not having to spend $1k on batteries per year and take out a short term loan for an oil change."
Meanwhile the Newell owners don't even know the wind is gusting and never mention the cost of such trivial things, to them.
He's also the same dude that laughs at the people pulling the pop-up camper because he feels he's one rung up on the ladder. Meanwhile the Newell owners are partying with the pop-up owners cause they're not jerks.
This is one of my favorite Monte Python clips. It reminds me of Rob. I don't know him well, but I've got a feeling we've just struck a flesh wound.
This makes no sense. What makes this play illegal is stepping up the pay table after you've won. It doesn't matter if you found someone else's winning hand or if you generated your own.
Why would anybody think generating your own winning hand, and then changing the pay table would be legal? Common sense should tell you you're found a bug that wasn't supposed to be there.
I get someone might want to take advantage of this. But I don't get the logic behind what Rob thinks is legal and isn't legal.
Bob21, you beat me too the punch. Whether you find a winning play on a machine at a quarter or generate it yourself for a quarter, and then upgrade it to $5, it is the same situation. Simply stating, either both actions are proper or both actions are illegal (depending on your opinion of the bug). There are no brownie points for actually playing/generating the first winning hand.
That is not the way I remember it coach belly. I just looked for it, hoping to pull a coach belly "gottch ya" moment but couldn't find it. I will look again later in the week when I get home. Maybe you can find it and confirm before then, since this is your expertise.
However I did find this brief thread talking about the double up feature (not the bug itself but the double up feature). This thread was before the double up bug play became know. Rob has several interesting responses in there that don't seem to fit with someone claiming to have the experience he had with the double up bug/feature. I suppose his retort will be he was trying to throw everyone off the trail. This stuff make Zero sense.
Gotta Jet. will check back later.

Damn KJ,,,,I think you just took a shot of chopping the Black Knight's head off
"You don't get slot club points when playing the double-up option.
I've tried it on quarters years ago, but have since never used it because it's a sucker bet. It plays on a vp player's compulsion. If you do it and lose, you feel like an idiot; do it and win, then you only want to do it again & again until you lose it all.
I wrote about my big experience with it in Gaming Today, where prior to being banned at Harrah's in LV, I was in there playing my strategy at the $2 level. There was no double-up option capability on any hand until I was dealt a RF. Then it appeared out of nowhere, and in my excitement & confusion somehow my finger pushed YES instead of no! I think it was an 8 that came out. I was disgusted with myself and spent the next hour arguing with staff about my "mistake" but of course I lost. By now, there was maybe two dozen people gathered around to see what the commotion was all about. Eventually I HAD to pick a card while still sunk in my chair. But here comes a 10. $16k and I was out of there on my way home as soon as the cash came to me--of course I didn't leave a tip of any kind, not because of the misadventure, but because I never tip handpays.
