A growing number of casinos in #Cambodia, #Laos and #Myanmar are engaging in large-scale money laundering, facilitating #cyberfraud that is costing victims in America and abroad billions of dollars, according to new research by the United Nations.
#Cybersecurity#LasVegas#MGM#Hacking#Casinos: "Overall, six days in, the hack was still a big topic of conversation. People in every line I stood in and at every table I sat at were talking about the hack, and while I was there, Larry Flynt’s Hustler strip club began offering “free lap dances to those affected” by the hack. But the hack hasn’t prevented Vegas from being Vegas, and has sort of faded into the background amid all the city’s flashing lights. You can still gamble, drink, go to the pool, play slot machines, bet on sports, and scream at TVs. But if you are looking for things that have been fucked up by the hack, and I was, the evidence is everywhere."
There's nothing more obviously profiteering to me than #Casinos, #SportsBetting, and #Ads for sports betting at casinos.
Come #Gamble ie algorithmically lose to the house for entertainment! We'll make millions and you'll get to dream of being rich. At least paying for a movie or a book about someone becoming super rich would provide more world building, if not delusions, as to a reality where you are one of the forever elusive "wealthy enough".
The future is a casino planet where most people do not own anything, they spend their life selling their time and attention for access to the things they need to live packaged as cheap entertainment.
It is a curse that robber barons steal our time and attention and literally our lives from us. We are a populace crippled by #capitalism of its potential.
