I was going through some papers last night and found some old shit from 2003 . Then I saw a bunch of High Schooler's in their robes a bit ago and alas, INSPIRATION.

When I graduated in 2003, Capital One must've known because they sent me a check for $10,000.

I did cash it and deposited the whole fucking thing into the now-defunct gambling website http://www.wallstreet.com via wire transfer. They gave me $1,000 as a signup bonus. I fooled around for a couple weeks and withdrew $11,000. Then I created an account for my girlfriend, deposited $11,000 via wire transfer and got an $1,100 bonus. Took out $12,100, deposited it into my account, then sent Capital One a certified bank check for $10,200.00 for the short-term loan, all in the same month.

A couple weeks later, two dudes from the Secret Service turned up at my new job and began their money laundering investigation, hahaha. That was realllly fun to explain to my boss as I just started that week. They called my mom and dad, grandparents, aunt, uncle, etc.

I made a thread about it but it got purged. Nothing ending up happening, but I know someone else here did this and I can't remember who. The gambling websites don't do those bonuses anymore, haha.

haha


did you get to keep the $1900?

5/21/2009 2:08:20 PM

Nice.

5/21/2009 2:09:06 PM

I prefer to keep the CIA off my porch.

But, gg on airing your dirty laundry.

5/21/2009 2:09:30 PM

why did they send you the check?

5/21/2009 2:12:33 PM

Well you didn't do anything illegal did you? You paid your loan back in full + interest and it looks like it is the gambling websites fault for not having some kind of restriction on the signup bonus.

5/21/2009 2:13:48 PM

It was a loan check, probably with high interest, so they were hoping he'd splurge and pay interest for years. Instead, he made a quick $1900. I think that is awesome.

5/21/2009 2:14:07 PM

It was all done by wire transfer. $10k went from my bank to some bank in NY to some Island Nation, haha. Then it was wired back the same way - $11.1k from the Island to NY to my bank. Then I took it all out, put it in another account, deposited that via wire transfer, and had the "winnings" ($12.1k) deposited back into my account. Then I sent out another check to pay off the bill for the card.

This was all from an account that never had more than $200 in it.

loloololol gg

i, too, had an online casino scheme that made me about $2k. I will not discuss it here.

5/21/2009 2:20:02 PM

Mine is case closed, hahahaha. That's the papers I found while looking for something else.

5/21/2009 2:20:59 PM

i wanna have a scheme

i once made ~22 billion pretend dollars on a pretend music stock exchange. turned 100K into 22 billion. if only that shit were real

5/21/2009 2:21:56 PM

Mine was back in like 1999 or 2000, when online gambling was still pretty new and they hadn't figured out all the details yet. The main jist of it was the same as yours. I deposited $500 and they matched my deposit. The only stipulation was that I had to make a certain amount of bets before I could cash out. Where they made their mistake was that they didn't say the bets had to be for a certain dollar amount. So I just played the nickel slots till I met the requirement and cashed out. Did that on 4 different online gambling sites before they finally got smart and changed their rules.

The whole irony is that after they got the whole system figured out, I deposited $100 in one of them just to play around with for real. I was fucking around on the slot machine one night just making $1 bets and I hit one for another $1100.

In the two years since graduation I've been on relatively goo behavior...however, some shit I did in college is starting to catch up to me bit by bit

5/21/2009 2:27:33 PM

5/21/2009 2:35:02 PM

my behavior has been goo. real goo.

5/21/2009 2:37:38 PM

Yeah, I got letters from wallstreet.com demanding I repay the money back but there was nothing they could do. They added to their terms of service real quick. Somebody else here did the exact same thing around the same time.

I know most people won't admit the shit they've done, understandable. I think there's at least one person in PMITA prison right now.

5/21/2009 2:40:21 PM

back after high school, a bank confused me with a man who had the same name and deposited some $15,000 into my account. i tried multiple times to tell officials at Commerce Bank that i did not have a $15,000 account. i was told it was my account and that i could withdraw the money. this bank had advertised itself as "America's Most Convenient Bank" and I was 18, so that was that...of course, i was a lesser funded individual, working as a lifeguard at the time. i gave away some of the withdrawn money and blew some of it on gifts, but lost much of it on bad investments...again, i was only 18...the investigation was quite arduous, but thanks to some of raleigh's finest lawyers, the incident was wiped clean, having spent only a day in court

I miss the old school online casinos. Those shits were hot. I never lost money. I would lose like $20, then win $40.

5/21/2009 2:42:58 PM

they should have a whole section on this, just for stuff i've done.

also, federal agents mad cause i'm flagrant

5/21/2009 2:47:48 PM

tapped your cell?

and your phone in the basement?

5/21/2009 2:48:25 PM

i got 2 cells, one has been subpoenaed twice, one is too new for all that (im good now)

i had a phone in the basement when i lived in cary too, but it was set up for my roomate's house arrest (we called our the basement a different dwelling since it had access from outside.... so they couldnt come in our pad)

5/21/2009 2:51:44 PM

haha that sucks

5/21/2009 2:58:33 PM

5/23/2009 9:35:35 PM
