I wish you all the best, Ace, but I didn't say you had to have a woman or anyone else "solve" you from the outside. I said the opposite: You have to have yourself, first, last, and forever. Everything else flows from that. It's mistaken as arrogance or pride in a lot of folks, but it's a quiet, pervading sense of confidence when you dial it in. Really hard to do, especially as an adult.

Ace at least if you play some baccarat you can rip the cards up, crumble them in your fist or even stab them with a pen. It helps.


Good grief.

I suspect that Ace, like most lawyers I know who specialize in divorce, has conflicting emotions: empathy vs. non-attachment.

The desire to help others to ease their pain must be tempered by objectivity, lest their problems become your own.

Not always the easiest tightrope to walk.

The "conflicting emotions" causes tremendous stress.

Drinking, drugging, gambling: classic balms / escapes in the profession.

I chnage my mind.
I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

To the best of my knowledge, the story went that she blamed it on the casinos for not policing her bad habits?? Or something like that. I dealt with many many attorneys and none of them stole my money in their escrow accounts. Some of their bills were awful high, but that's another story.

She "borrowed" her clients' money from the escrow account and lost them all. She got disbarred and had gone to jail for 'borrowing the money." It's a very sad story.



It's the biggest reason lawyers go to jail.
They can't keep their hands off the escrow
money. I know a guy that did it for years
and always paid it back. Then just like
floating checks, he didn't get paid and
the escrow was gone and he was
screwed. Another one used the money
to pay back taxes. On and on, they
just can't stand all that money sitting
there doing nothing.

What happens when someone gambles away stolen escrow money?

Does the casino have to give the money back? Seeing how they received stolen goods, and normally if you're caught with stolen goods they're seized.

Obviously the lawyer who took the money deserves jailtime for theft/fraud.

There is what they call 'claw back'. The Government uses it when stolen or fraud money is used to buy things or invest or even donated for charity. The recipients have to give it back to the Government to make the victims whole or at least attempt to.

Right, madoff's case was one highly publicized version of this. I would think the casino would have a vested interest in these kinds of stories staying as quiet as possible.

No trip this weekend—I needed a mental break from playing - even though, in the long run, it is all one continuous shoe, and going one weekend versus another weekend has nothing to do with whether I will win or lose, I felt like I needed a mental break
