February 6th - Kirk Douglas, a Casino Scam, and a New Park

 

Hollywood actor Kirk Douglas passed away Wednesday. He acted in films for decades and was known for playing the tough guy. Apparently his tough-guy act wasn't just for show. Kirk lived to be 103 years old, and survived a stroke in 1996.

4 pairs of husbands and wives were arrested for defrauding a casino out of $5.2 million dollars. The men allegedly worked at the casino and modified the electronic games to spit out winning vouchers. They would then use a go-between to cash in the tickets for cash. Their wives worked to hide and launder the money. It would make for a good movie plot.
