It's certainly not a good idea to take too much "cash now". But some folks just discovered that taking too much "cash now" isn't a party under Native American law.
In a recent decision in at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Court (near Ledyard CT) captioned Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprise v Chagnon (CV-DC-2006-141) Dec. 31, 2007, Foxwoods Casino customers who refused to return extra money from an automated ticket redemption machine were found to have converted the money and been unjustly enriched. Apparently the ATM was dispensing $100s instead of $20s and $20s instead of $10s. A number of casino customers, perhaps haunted by the monotonous chant recalled from late night JG Wentworth commercials, took advantage of the "cash now" situation and bled the machine dry. Casino officials were able to track down the too much "cash now" perps through surveillance cameras and wampum accounts.
A number of the too much "cash now" takers gambled with their ill gotten gains and lost. The Court did not show mercy on the too much "cash now" takers and did not permit them to take an offset for the amount that they gambled and lost. The Court entered judgment in the amount of $21,050, the amount of extra "cash now" they took.
