The fuck was a multiple millionaire with numerous homes, private aircraft, and had recently paid all his property taxes.
I find it hard to believe that he was so deep in debt that he simply "snapped" due to gambling debt.

It doesn't take long to gamble away EVERYTHING you own. Especially if you LIKE to gamble and MOST CERTAINLY if you like to bet "BIG". As this guys was said to do. It's a sad road that has only one end. He reached the end of that road. I've seen others who've gone down the same road, the end was the same. I have no sympathy for anyone who goes down that road, simple common sense should warn them not to. As far as I'm concerned, it's just evolution. I do have sympathy for all of their victims, those in Vegas and the families who suffer from some stupid fuck gambler.
