Gambling Fanatic

Holy cow, Omar Siddiqui is rather amazing. This man managed to gamble away over $167 million dollars in the last 10 years. He only makes $225,000 a year. He basically got caught stealing money from Fry Electronics, the company he is an executive at. Wow!

My question is, didn't the Las Vegas casinos start to wonder where all the money was coming from? I mean they gave him high roller treatment, which included everything from first class suites to private planes. Now, what he did was wrong, that's for sure, but it is also pretty dang impressive!

I don't know if I would have been able to pull off a scam that big for that long. Granted, he has the potential to spend the next "140 years" in prison, but still... it must have been one heck of a ride. The guy had a Mercedes, a Ferrari, and a town home...wow.

Well Omar, I think what you did was wrong, and you should be punished, but I am still pretty dang impressed.
