Las Vegas Casino Scammer Sentenced for $1 Million Theft

On Wednesday, a Las Vegas casino scammer was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for stealing over $1 million from casinos. The scammer, identified as 43-year-old Michael Borovetz, was found guilty of multiple counts of theft, fraud, and money laundering.

Borovetz had been running a sophisticated scam that involved using fake IDs and stolen credit cards to purchase chips at casinos. He would then cash out the chips without ever playing any games. He was able to get away with this for some time, but eventually he was caught by casino security.

The scammer had been targeting casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and other locations around the country. He had been able to steal over $1 million from the casinos before he was caught.

Borovetz was sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison for his crimes. He was also ordered to pay back the $1 million that he had stolen from the casinos.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of casino security. Casinos must be vigilant in order to protect themselves from scammers like Borovetz. They should also take steps to ensure that their customers are not being taken advantage of.

Casino scams can be very costly for the casinos and can even put customers at risk. It is important for casinos to take steps to prevent these scams from happening in the first place. This case should serve as an example of what can happen when a scammer is successful in stealing from a casino.
