And to give a little context to the bet I've proposed here, it reminds me a a $50K bet between Singer and Fezzik (a prominent handicapper and sports bettor) that never happened actually happened....probably in the 2008 timeframe It was a riot, but it was Fezzik who actually backed out. Funny, redietz was posting on those forums then and so was Alan Mendelson (As MoneyLA). Those were the days.
No, but that pretty much goes without saying. I mean if he’d paid taxes on it, he’d show us his tax returns that he won $2.8 MM in gambling winnings over 4 years. I mean he claimed it was so important to him to get this story out that he couldn’t hold it in. If that’s the case, he’d show us his tax returns.

Also, Rob would know that showing steady winnings of this magnitude would set off alarm bells at the IRS. I can assure you his tax returns would be flagged for auditing. This would smell of laundering money, and being involved in the drug trade or something like that, so it would be looked into. This is why it’s almost better keeping some of it off his tax returns, even if he did it. But then if Rob did that, he knows he could go to jail for tax fraud. Again, there is no statute of limitations for tax fraud, and I’m sure Rob knows that.

Again, it’s called common sense stuff. If Rob did this, I doubt if he claimed $2.8 million on his taxes for gambling winnings. And if he didn’t claim this amount and he won this amount, he could go to jail. This has come up before. There are about 100 things you could point to that make no sense in Rob’s story.

Look, nothing can ever be proved or disproved so people are wasting their time thinking it can be proved or disproved. This is why our standard in court is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Being a scientist, I have had a hard time explaining to people nothing can ever be proved. I see people bringing this up again and again on this site and they don’t get it, nothing can ever be proven! It’s impossible to prove something.

Look up the definition of prove in scientific terms. Btw, that’s why conspiracy theories abound. Even though I believe the moon landing occurred, I can’t prove it. And there are people out there that still think it was a hoax, and no one can prove they are wrong, no matter how much tv footage you show them. You can’t “prove” it happened.

This is why Rob’s story can continue no matter how ridiculous it becomes. There’s always gonna be some possible reason for this or that.

Hopefully Rob doesn’t go off in the twilight zone or UFO explanations for why this or that happened. So far Rob’s story has mostly delt in reality to explain things. And he’s actually getting some people to believe him, like Boz and Mickey, so it’s somewhat working.
Bob21 you might be a scientist but you're missing some points about the tax law. If you believe Mr Singer's story then you would know his money is clean because the big wins came with W2Gs.

In the past Mr Singer claimed he paid for the RV with cash. I asked why he would keep cash on clean money? Makes no sense.

He then launched a story about other accumulated wealth being used to pay for the RV in cash. Again, other accumulated wealth from his job and investments being held as cash also makes no sense.

You don't risk cash on clean money... especially a million dollars or more in a home safe.
AndrewG, really, how about two seniors worried about future health problems and having a nursing home bleading their life savings dry?
