And Pham, he bought a one-way ticket to Australia.

Pham tries to buy $100,000 worth of Rolex watches and then send them to his sister, then tries to leave the country, texts his friend about trying to leave the country and gets arrested at JFK Airport.

With $12,000 in cash and two cashier's checks for $80,000, as well as a series of betting slips and three cell phones.

From there, the gamblers

Very quickly, they

spun it as a victory.

They said, aha, look, we can catch people now in ways you were never able to catch people before.
