BG, yes it sounds like Aguirre has a good track record and hopefully she will be able to recover these millions and pay back the money that she blatantly stole. She is fortunate she will not have to go to jail.
If she does win back these millions, hopefully she doesn’t blow it on more casinos. Because the temptation will be there for her. Hopefully she learns her lesson.
As far as the “addict” and the casinos not being able to allow them in. Well, it would be impossible for the casinos to police this. No way it could happen because imagine…. degenerate gamblers like O’Connor were good enough liars to fool friends and associates.
I’m sure they knew she was addicted but you have to keep in mind she could have lied and told them she had millions more. As well, it sounds like she had many up years as well. One report said she won as much as $200 million one year. (I’m not sure I buy that amount….) but I’m sure she had up years when she took/won money from casinos as well.
Yes, the casinos need to do more but I wouldn’t count on seeing that anytime in our lifetime. It’s like an alcoholic that is addicted and steps into a bar to have “just one drink”.
Hopefully we see her just come out and blame no one but herself and offer no more excuses. Just step up to the plate with no more excuses and pay it back and get help for her serious addiction.
Also, she should probably write a book. It sounds fascinating her story so maybe a book should be in the works which can also help with restitution. Heck, I’d buy a copy of it if it was a good read and she pledged the proceeds to the charity she robbed. And it would also be a good PR move for her.
PS – BG, I really must get up to that area. From what you described, it sounds amazing!
