Approaching Apocolyptic High Tech level cheating. Matrix level fraud.
 

Sorry guys i think the link i posted went bad. TT let me know it would be better to post a more direct link. Hope this works. From you tube. The same videol.

The reason i posted this thread in general is because what the video reveals is pretty amazing. We know this world gets more and more evil. But this is kind of like next level on some levels. What i take comfort in is God providing us a peek behind the curtain of the actual age we are living in...lol. Pretty daunting. But very lovely of Him to care enough to show us. All of us. Blessings.
 

Legendary Mobster’s Grandson Explains How Sports Figures Get Involved with the Mafia: ‘It’s a Powerful Thing’​

Meyer Lansky II, the grandson of the legendary mobster, has offered a glimpse into how star athletes who already possess wealth and fame manage to get caught up with the mafia.

On Thursday, news of the arrests of more than two dozen individuals allegedly involved with sports fixing and illegal gambling rings run by the mafia went viral. Three of the arrests in particular – Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, former player and coach Damon Jones, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier – raised eyebrows.

Why would former and current NBA coaches and players – many of whom have made far more money from basketball than from gambling – risk their legacies by taking part in mob-run card games?

“Well, they’re risk-takers. Athletes like that, they’ve got a lot of adrenaline,” Meyer Lansky II told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “They think they can not only have millions to be paid by a team, but they can make more with their gambling, too. Or they have an addiction to gambling. There’s a lot of people like that. They just want to get involved with that. Maybe they like the affiliation with the people that are in charge of that, or behind those gambling setups and situations again.”

 
Add NFL, the amount of upsets and games seemingly won suddenly going into OT regularly is suss to me
Takes me back to January 21, 1979, Super Bowl XIII, Cowboys vs. Steelers. Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach throws the ball to tight end Jackie Smith, who is all alone in the end zone, and Smith drops it. :faint: I could've caught that ball ~ and I was only an 18-year old girl at the time. To this day, I still don't believe that drop was an accident, and it cost my then-beloved Cowboys the Super Bowl.
