Skip Hughes died a broken video poker fraud. He busted out of LV thinking he would use "vp-ap play" and the casinos as his own personal ATMs, and had to move away to Calif. to find a job. His wife made him leave the gambling. But when that didn't work he defied the Mrs., as he went up to Carson City and got work as some assistant in the state govt. He died shortly afterwards.

Typical AP epitaph. His one good point was that he was not afraid of using his real name. That's a far cry from the collection of anonymous cowards who populate these forums.
