Rigged game: Bingo fixer runs out of luck

Friendly competition for a prize is all well and good, but there’s no point if the game is rigged from the start! That’s what happened recently in Monroe, Louisiana, where a Bingo host was caught on camera fixing matches for his close friends and family. Unknown to the players in the audience, he would handpick the balls and hide the winner until he was ready to end the match. Over the course of his rigging, he earned more than $10,000 for himself and thousands for his co-conspirators. He was even caught taking cash from the players he helped win. The man allegedly performed this trick four times, but he won’t be hitting Bingo again because jail isn’t a free space.

Crimes come in many forms, like counterfeiting. But if you do it right, it’s not illegal!
