He wired $100k to the Philippines on September 25.

So if he really was a busted gambler, he still had $100k and chose to send it away, rather than shoot it off, which isn't what you would expect from a guy about to go broke from gambling.

Now, this is still possible if he lost millions at the casino, and this was his final $100k that he was "protecting" by sending it out of the country (before killing people and presumably having it confiscated after his death) but it's looking like the busted-gambler angle may not be correct.

If anyone here can come up with the guy's e-mail address (even an old one), I can search this site and see if I can find him. There's a possibility he has an account here, given that he was a Seven Stars and played video poker, and this site does come up in searches for both.
