Another tenant of notoriety.

From jsonline.com

An employee of Potawatomi Bingo and Casino and eight of his friends were indicted Tuesday on charges that they stole $168,000 from the casino by cheating on the Pick 8 bingo game.

Deandre Russell of Milwaukee, who worked at the casino, devised a scheme to cheat the game so his friends would win jackpots, according to the indictment, which was handed down in federal court in Milwaukee. The winners then shared their proceeds with Russell.

The defendants scammed the game on seven different occasions between Nov. 20, 2005, and Sept. 11, 2006, according to the indictment. The stolen jackpots ranged from $15,500 to $50,500.
