Mission, thanks for the additional articles. They helped and cleared up the situation at the Meadows. But it still doesn’t explain why the IRS is chasing Nestor for $239,000. If Nestor won additional money in Vegas or other casinos, then he should have the money to pay the IRS. This part still isn’t adding up.
I probably shouldn’t have said Nestor was changing his story. It’s more that his story is inconsistent. The timeline still doesn’t make much sense.
Nestor says he flew to Vegas and helped Kane come up with the bottoms to press to activate this play. I would think Kane would have figured this out already. Nestor makes it sound like Kane got lucky one time with this bug and then called him. If that’s the case then why does Nestor only take credit for figuring out the double up feature? From the article you can tell Nestor is trying to justify his actions of not paying Kane what he agreed he’d do.
The other thing that didn’t make sense is why Nestor flew home the first time. This was still a viable play at the Fremont. Kane made $100,000 in about a month at the Fremont and this was supposedly before he understood the double up feature. $100,000 in a month isn’t shabby money.
I expect Kane isn’t talking because his lawyers told him not to. Kane still has his money and anything he says could backfire on him. I wonder if the stature of limitations is the same for criminal cases as with civil cases. I’m unclear if Kane is out the woods on this.
Also, I still think the Golden King slot machine Kane bought for his house played a role. It’s not just the machine but he also had access to the technicians that serviced it. It didn’t pay jackpots but it probably gave him some idea how it worked.
