After serving six years for bank robbery, Joseph Baer of Philadelphia, USA, fled the recovery house and robbed another three banks in one week. He did not, however, make tracking him down all too difficult for law enforcement. Police already assumed that due to Baer’s gambling addiction the money was likely flowing into the hands of casino operators. A security alert confirmed that Baer’s gambling problem had led him straight to Atlantic City, where he was arrested at the Trump Plaza blackjack table.
The question remains then, how much money did the casino allow him to gamble away before they alerted the authorities?
