There is currently a rumor that a very popular Las Vegas poker room has let go of at least one staff member due to theft. "Dan Druff", who broke the news on the alleged scandal, claimed in his first post that two unrelated sources had informed him that the poker room, widely considered to be one of the best run poker rooms in the world, fired a tournament director on suspicion of stealing tokes from the cash tips in a room with no witnesses.
Dan Druff later reported the following: "A number of people close to the situation have come to me to give me further information about this.
I will be releasing this information as I am given permission to do so.
Here are a few more tidbits:
- There were several firings from the XXXXXX TONIGHT
- The "general manager" of the poker room resigned. However, apparently this was over a completely different matter, and was unrelated to the thefts. This general manager was said to not have been involved with the thefts, and the timing of his resignation seems to have been an unfortunate coincidence.
- The tournament director WAS involved with the thefts, and he was fired.
- There have been no arrests at this time, but they are still trying to sort everything out."
