A network of thieves stole more than $7 million from casinos across the United States using high-tech techniques and inside help, the FBI has revealed.
In what was the biggest casino heist in U.S. history the group, known as the Tran Organisation, developed a near fool-proof scam that saw them walk
away with up to $900,000 per hit.
Their crimes began in 2002 when a dealer at San Diego’s Sycuan Casino was caught performing a trick known as a false shuffle,pretending to shuffle a
deck of cards while actually keeping them in the order in which they were dealt.
