Las Vegas Escort Steals $66,000 From Poker Pro
5 years ago20 Nov
Poker players have often paid for massages at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, especially during play, but for one unlucky punter it turned out to be a very expensive shakedown rather than a rubdown, costing him $66,000!
As reported in the Sun Sentinel newspaper, the 52-year old man was approached by a woman at the casino elevators early this Tuesday morning â 30 year old Cassidy Reign Paris telling the unnamed gambler that he looked stressed, and offering him a massage.
What happened next probably wonât shock anyone; after the massage Paris âtold him to take off his pants and they got in bedâ, according to a police report, and after kissing the woman made the excuse of having a sore chest and went to the bathroom.
On hearing the hotel room door open and close, the unfortunate mark âgot up to find himself alone, and discovered $10,000 in cash, $6,100 in poker chips and his $50,000 Patek Philippe watch were all goneâ.
When the hotel CCTV was checked, scamming masseuse Paris was seen leaving the patronâs room and running towards the elevators, escaping through the casino into a red car parked in the casino garage.
Fortunately police were able to track the carâs Texas number plates to a rental company, and because it was fitted with a GPS device, the cops were able to trace it to a nearby motel â arresting Paris the same day.
After her arrest, âon suspicion of committing grand theft greater than $20,000 and up to $100,000â, Paris was given a $5000 bond the following day by Broward County Judge Kim Theresa Mollica, but was apparently still in jail this Friday past.
The incident sparked memories of the death of Matthew Hauge at the WSOP in 2016 â initial reports of possible foul play stating that he had been accompanied to his room by a woman and had valuables missing when he was found dead, later dismissed as mere rumours.
