"Undocumented"? "Future American"? Is that the term we're going with now?

Whatever the term, someone who invaded our country, 43-year-old Mexican Jesus Gaytan-Garcia, has been arrested and charged for stealing $700k from a Michigan casino.

A regular Danny Ocèano!

An illegal immigrant from Mexico has been criminally charged after stealing $700,000 from a casino in west Michigan in 2023, according to the Detroit News. Investigators claimed that the man pretended to be a tribal chairman and told the casino that he needed the money for an urgent payment.

This is an amazing scam. The dude went full scam mode and pretended to be a Native American in need!

I can't believe that worked!

"The amount of money involved in this theft is extraordinary," Totten said. "Unfortunately, instances of telephone scams at casinos are on the rise across the country, impacting both tribal and commercial gaming operations. Thanks to the dedicated, joint investigation of Pokagon Tribal police and the FBI, we were able to identify and arrest one of the perpetrators of this scheme that targeted the Hartford Four Winds Casino."

I mean, I'm sorry for the tribes, but I don't think the casinos are exactly hurting for money.

An employee of the casino got the call, got the cash out, and handed it over to a Mexican stranger at the gas station!!!

Gaytan has been charged with theft and embezzlement from a tribal organization. If he is found guilty of the charges, he could face up to five years in prison.

The employee who was tricked said that they collected $700,000 in cash, departed the casino, took it to a gas station in Gary, Indiana, and handed it over to two unknown individuals.

This is really an insane story.

I look forward to this man being deported from the country after this.
