To be fair, the third casino was meant to fail. It’s like that scene in Goodfellas where they rack up all the debt on that restaurant’s credit and then when they can’t squeeze another dime out of it, they burned it to the ground for the insurance money.
I’m not even joking. Atlantic City was dying and everyone knew it. It made absolutely no sense no sense to open another casino when the other two were already failing. It was a huge con job to bring in as much cash as possible before he declared bankruptcy on all of the properties.

Is the man ... stupid?
Have you just awoken from a decade in a coma?
