Ahn used his company position to identify regular customers with unused free play points, transferred the points to counterfeit players club cards and recruited people to gamble with the cards at the company's casinos along the Strip, the court documents allege. http://www.lvrj.com/news/casino-company-analyst-pleads-guilty-in-860-000-slot-scheme-150907615.html
Very interesting article Sort of funny that they tried to bury the evidence in the desert. Meanwhile, might this explain on a few people seem to have way too many points?
Casino Player Identity Theft. Wow, just wow! So, is M-life going to reimburse the stolen players Free-play & Stolen Comps? The theft was comitted thru M-life but the victims were actualy the Players.:grrr, the article failed to mention that, they stold our Comps! Also wonder if they generated, host requests & freeplay for players that didnt request it? Ghost player requests for freeplay & Comps, that lead to no Play listings on our accounts. This is possibly why so many M-Life players getting the shaft now, because they were extended freeplay & didnt generate an ADT, above free play? This is pure "Casino Player Identity theft" Not only that, but were players ID Info & SS# breached in this event? If so, where are the security breach disclosure notices from MGM, that the players accounts were compromised? This is a total Failure of the floor staff, as it could have been caught by the casino slot host & table host staff. (Unless they were in on it too?) "Hi Mr.DÃ zhong, thank you for your patronidge, how was your trip from Beijing?" , seeing a dirtbag local should have sent off some red flags! But that would require them to come out & greet players once in a while... .. Instead of hiding in an office all day. Shame on you MGM!
The last poster is out of line in many points. There is nothing indicating that SS# was stolen. Maybe it was, maybe it was not, but to jump to that conclusion is wrong. If they stole my comps for a week I was on the east coast and not in vegas, they did not steal from me. They stole from the casino. Floor staff catching it? With the thousands of people in the casino, do you really think they keep track of who is playing? Come on, think about it. I do not blame MGM on this at all. Did it mess up some peoples ADT/Theo? That is a valid question. I would hope that MGM is looking inside this to compensate those players involved. If MGM would show us our accounts with transactions, we might have caught it. In fact, I was thinking through how it might be caught, and I think someone that watches their balance closely might have uncovered it.
Um. This was in 2009, before Mlife even existed. MGM should have contacted all affected parties and made good with them by now.
MLife employee steals player points in a $869,000 slot scheme. Interesting story. He's only 27 and was a marketing analyst for the company. http://www.lvrj.com/news/casino-company-analyst-pleads-guilty-in-860-000-slot-scheme-150907615.html I looked for a previous post on this subject but didn't see one. My apologies if it's already been discussed here.
It's almost certainly not related to this, but it's pretty funny that several people on this board have complained about their various points and credits not properly showing up on their M Life accounts. We'll there you go, it's this guy's fault!
Looks like he (and his cohorts) did the pilfering around July 2009 and was officially caught in July 2010. So, it went on for at least a year.
