The guy was obviously an idiot.

Who plays high stakes video poker?

A large number of advantage players can find the right VP game and paytable to make it +EV. I stick to Blackjack, Let it Ride and NL Hold 'em, but that doesn't mean playing VP is for suckers. Even your average player on an average VP machine, is going to fair better than slots.

Machines don't lose. Even VP machines. I've got an advantage at a poker table though because I'm not playing against the house.

"Professional gambler" is what shady people use to hide their real source of income. Red flag.

How did this guy actually build his wealth to where he didn't need to be employed? When was he last employed, 1988 is the date I heard... that is 28 years ago, so he hasn't been employed since his 30s?

If he is a real estate investor you'd think we'd know something by now about his business. Did he have an LLC? Property managers? Lenders he did deals with? How were properties advertised and sold? Seems like he doesn't operate any real business or we'd have heard about these things by now I think.

I don't think he acquired his airplanes and homes with income made playing video poker or gambling. If the casinos were losing money on this guy he would be persona non grata and blacklisted.

What happened to the money his father stole from banks? FBIs ten most wanted father. Father taught him how to escape authorities when he was a kid. It's what he knew.

Guy is an accountant doing audits of all things for a major defense company... you know what comes to mind... money laundering.

Everything about this guy is more like a fictional crime boss out of a movie than your typical retired accountant.

- Psychopath bank robbing father
- Accountant specializes in audits (has knowledge necessary to launder money and cook books)
- Gambling as a source of wealth (shady bogus cover as source of wealth)
- Multiple airplanes and homes
- No public front (social media or business front)
- No identified business associates....?
- Foreign girlfriend...

You have a lot of professional poker players like Phil Ivey who will also play house games. The bulk of their money comes from poker, but they still play and score large wins from time-to-time on other games. If you're mainly a poker player, you're not getting 86'd. The only reason they would back you off the table, is if you are counting cards at BJ or cheating at other games.

I'll be shocked if this guy built his wealth legally... if he had a legit business we'd have heard of it by now. Business associates would have been identified. He did financial audits, he has the ideal background to launder money and who knows what he learned from his dad escaping authorities. Gambling is not an income source as casinos would blacklist him if they lost money on him. Everything about this guy is shady. Girlfriends from the Philippines too?

The authorities investigating this are being very tight lipped. I wonder what they've found. Maybe they are following a rabbit hole to a larger criminal ring?

Anyway, even if this dude was a shady character and criminal like his father it still doesn't explain the desire to commit mass murder in the way that he did.
He actually sounds a whole lot like the guy in Austin who flew his Cessna into the IRS building on 183/Research blvd. He owed money, he had a family, he was retired, he had dealt with the IRS and he thought it would be a hell of a way to go out. Nobody knew he harbored such feelings.

I'd say the pistol above him in the photo was the likely suicide weapon

This is only true if you don't have the bankroll to beat the variance. If you have the time, bankroll and skills you can find a JOB (Jacks or Better) VP machine that pays out 99.54%. When you add in comps and cash rebates, a professional gambler can beat this game.

I'd say it's real. The revolver at the top is likely what he used to off himself. Looks to be a S&W 642, chambered in .38 special. Not exactly high powered, and certainly won't blow any heads off like in the movies.

Not necessarily. Depends on exit location, caliber, etc.

facebook is a grand mistake. the worst invention of my lifetime. the lightbulb in reverse.
It really is the most toxic invention of my lifetime. I can't believe I used to be on Facebook, but been FB free for 3 years now.

Zuckerburg and a bunch of amoral nerds found a way to capitalize on, and promote, some of humanity's worst traits.

agree with all the above.

i'm no expert but......dead people have a hard time maintaining their grip.....i'm pretty sure.

presumably if standing when fired...gun would drop and bounce.

Several reasons:

Shot himself standing up, kneeling or SWAT moved it.
