The Counterfeit Chip Scheme That Made a Millionaire

In 2010, a man walked into the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas and handed over a stack of high-value chips. In less than a minute, the cashier gave him $20,000 in cash. But there was a problem. The chips were fake. What followed was one of the most precise casino scams in modern history. From a garage in the suburbs, Erik Morikawa, a handyman with no criminal record, began modifying $1 chips into $25,000 replicas, using nothing but paint, stickers, and a printer. For eight months, he printed his own casino fortune and walked away a millionaire. Until greed, addiction, and surveillance brought everything crashing down. This is The Counterfeit Chip Scheme That Made a Millionaire. #Documentary #CasinoScam
