42 year old Christian Lusardi was arrested for flushing $2.7 million dollars down the toilet. He made 2.7 million dollars worth of fake poker chips for the Winter Poker Opens "Big Stack, No Limit Hold 'Em." He then goes to his hotel, and tries to flush them, clogging the drains.
This reminds me of the talks we have with Ms. Walker about trying to budge your money. But you should not go try to make fake money. It will only put you in jail. Plus, if you just flush it, it would not get rid of the fake money for good, someone else will just find it one day.
This guy is stupid. First off, why would you make fake poker chips? They will be able to tell if they are real or not. Also, why try flushing 2.7 million dollars worth of them down the toilet, cause the drains of the hotel to back fire. Some people in this world needs more common senses.
What is the impact of using quotes?
The impact of using quotes help show what happened during the arrest of Mr. Lusardi. ""This was a very unusual occurrence. It's the first time in Borgata's 10 years that anything like this has happened," Joe Lupo, senior vice president of operations at Borgata, told CNN" It shows how CNN news went out to talk to people about what happened to get the inside story about this event.

I totally agree with the stupidity behind making the fake poker chips, he should know the trouble behind making counterfeit money and probably did. The problem was he didn't care and was probably addicted to gambling. I would have changed a the way you worded a few things, like when you said " Some people in this world needs more common senses." Here is what I would recommend " There are people in this world who need to stop and think of their actions before taking that action," the reason being he knew what he was doing wrong and was fully aware of the consequences to come. I would have added something about how people with gambling problems need help, and they can call counselors to help them with the addiction. Overall it was a great post. Good job!
