A $500K BJ Debt Advantage Play?

That's my problem with it. They are using criminal law for leverage in debt collection, which is a matter of civil law in the US. No other business I'm aware of does this.

at some point does anyone ever go after the defaulting party for grand theft?

No fraud no foul no crime, its strictly a civil matter. zg

No, it's not theft. If defaulting on a loan was theft, the owners of most casinos in the Northeast would be in prison. What they do is force you to write a check, so they can use the somewhat harsh laws against uttering worthless checks to put pressure on you to pay the loan. It's like loansharking, except they use the police as the enforcers.

In my opinion, that type of AP still fits the scum level. You may not feel that way.

"Certified mail trick"? It says right there on the credit app, "The V believes in responsible gaming, and will limit or cancel your credit line upon request." The appeals court noted this is the only written promise made by the Venetian in return for the patron's signing the credit app.

Well it would be a trick if you are I did it. For the next few years this play could go down a lot more. zg

And therefore ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you must find
for my client and send these evil casinos a strong message..."​
