He Cheated At Bingo, Killed Self
from the wasted-criminal-talent dept
Apparently, one of the programmers of an electronic bingo game used in casinos throughout Nevada placed a little easter egg in the system so that when he played, he could play more cards than he paid for. Last week, though, he found out that he was the target of an investigation and killed himself. Investigators aren’t sure exactly how the easter egg worked, but they stopped a lot of the casinos from using the machines for a while. One casino security expert was quotes saying that everyone is surprised that someone was cheating at such a low stakes game and mentions that it’s really a “waste of criminal talent”.
