Now that you put it that way 1819, it's a funny thing where I'm sitting.

He borrowed the casino's money just to give it back and then he left with a bill, and I bet there's interest involved.

I almost forgot about the ex-Fry's exec being sued by a las vegas casino, as well:

Quote:
John Beckmann, 47, of Las Vegas and Siddiqui's "casino host" at the Palms Casino, told the Mercury News on Monday in an exclusive interview that he was questioned for "a couple of hours" by two IRS agents Wednesday afternoon. Beckmann essentially catered to Siddiqui's every need when he gambled at the Palms for three years.

"What did they ask me?" Beckmann said. "They wanted to know, 'How did Omar pay you?' " Beckmann said he told the agents that on a "couple of occasions," Siddiqui would call him up and say, "meet me at the Venetian." Then, Siddiqui would hand Beckmann a check from the Venetian for anywhere from $1.5 million to $2 million written out in Siddiqui's name. Siddiqui would sign the check over to the Palms, and Beckmann would run the check up to the administrative offices. The Palms is suing Siddiqui for $2.35 million stemming from an August gambling spree.
