Disappear from a casino with half a million and never get caught
How is this possible and how much is it worth
Nearly 30 years ago, the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas was robbed, and the thief walked away with over half a million dollars undetected. Law enforcement managed to identify the culprit, but no one ever saw him again. No one has heard of him and he managed to evade the law for more than 25 years. How is this possible? In the following lines, we will tell you the whole story.
On a rough night at the casino in 1992, cashier William Brennan put his hellish plan into action. The place is full of gamblers ready to bet on Monday's football games, and Brennan is the man to count the money. As always he collects them as a deposit, but early in the morning he takes an unexpected action. Brennan leaves the casino with half a million dollars. About 225 thousand of them in cash and the rest in chips.
No one has seen or heard from Brennan since then, and the money and chips have never been found. So much so that he ended up on the FBI's most wanted list at the time.
In 2006 the case against the treasurer is also terminated, as "Stardust" ceases to exist. The US Attorney in Nevada drops the charges, but the heist remains more than impressive.
One of the casino's managers in the 1990s, Richard Saber, describes Brennan as someone who would never pull off such a heist, but says he got involved with an avid gambler. More than once, Saber had warned his employee that the person he was hanging out with would only bring him trouble. It is because of this that the manager believes that shortly after the robbery, Brennan was killed for the money.
A story that impresses with its unknown ending. An ending that no one can say whether it is happy or not. One thing is certain, according to the associate professor of history at the University of Nevada, Brennan goes down in history as one of the people believed to have cheated the system and was never found or caught.
