Kj, you're still not answering my question. I said movie, not story. Tonya Hardin didn't "get away with it", meaning she didn't get away with the "hit" on Nancy Kerrigan. But boy did it make for a good movie! I don't know if you saw the movie with Margot Robbie called "I Tonya", but it was one of the funnier movies I've seen in a while, and it did well. Everybody I have recommended it too thought it was good, and very funny.

For sake of argument, let's say everything Rob said is correct on what he did with the double-up bug. I don't see how that makes for a good movie. It would be a boring 10 minute movie. No conflict, no intrigue, etc. Just a guy exploiting a "bug" in a slot machine for 5 years, and getting away with it, making about $500,000/year. How would that make for a good movie?

Now take what Kane and Nester did. I don't know if you've read the wire article, but if what they did was anything close to this article, that could be one of the funniest movies ever. Again, it has to have the right script writers, and actors, but it has all the makings of a hit movie.

Getting away with it doesn't mean it'll make for a good movie. Like you said, "Nester and Kane got nothing". That makes it funnier. Here they had everything if they wanted it, but they let their greed and stupidity get in their way, and ended up with nothing. If I remember right, in the hit movie "Dumb and Dumber" they got nothing too, but that movie still was funny, and a big hit.

I didn't know Kane and Nester signed their rights to a book deal away. For their sake, I hope they didn't sign their rights to a movie deal away. If they still have rights to a movie deal, they might still strike it rich through a movie deal for their story. If their story is made into a movie, I'll for sure be going to it. The movie might be a flop, but that'll be because they didn't get the right script writers or actors. If the movie is in the works, they need to contact me since I think I can help them with it.
