Louisiana State Police say a 35-year-old courier for Brinks Inc. is accused of stealing nearly $355,000 in deposits from the Horseshoe Casino. Harris says it held $284,279.86 cash, $29,000 in customer markers, $12,100 in credit card transactions, and $29,500 in personal checks.
The story goes on to say that the criminal shredded and discarded the markers, checks and credit card slips. I don't really understand markers, so I was surprised that they deposit them in a bank. I wonder what happens to the players whose markers, checks and credit card slips were shredded? It will be interesting to see if one of them claims not making the transaction since the casino may have lost it proof of the transaction.

Well, if the casino claims the players made the transaction that would be based on copies of records they have hence proof the transactions were made. It's precisely situations like this why receipts and duplicates are kept. I don't think anyone will get away with not making a said payment. Plus, I'm sure everything these days is electronically processed in some way, scanned or whatever.

If anything does come of this, it will be people who already paid having to present their copies to the casino to prove they made the payment.

Wait, he was still at home?!? What was he thinking? The casino was covered with security cameras, they knew he picked up the money, so obviously Anhkim Le was Suspect #1.

For chrissake, he's an armored truck driver! Those companies knows every nitty gritty detail about their employees, there was virtually no chance he would be successful. Guaranteed ticket to jail. The only option is to have an elaborate plan to completely disappear immediately. Really, he needed an accomplice to help him hide. And $284,000 just isn't enough money for this dumb shenanigan, especially if you need to pay off an accomplice.

Le didn't think this through. He was reckless. And stupid.
