I kinda don't feel sorry for them at all

They operate like mafias, fuck them.

They are literally run by cartels for money laundering.

While both Mafia ties and money laundering were true, these days the strip is almost completely corporate owned, which is somehow worse.

Yeah and those cooperations are Subcontractors of shell companies wich are owned by some Mafiosi.

Actually, it's the Mormon Church for a lot of them.

You really are keen on calling it a mafia.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I mean it is, call it religion or whatever but that doesn't make it less of a Mafia/Cartel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Corporations are just mafias with a bigger payroll

They don't operate in good faith and take advantage of people. Fuck them. Good on the hackers/thieves. Nobody is crying that casinos lost money.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

But it sucks for all the people who have had their info stolen.

While I'm not crying over casinos losing money, I don't agree with praising the hackers, either. Stealing from the bad doesn't automatically make you good.

Hopefully the hackers use the money for something that benefits a lot of people.

Meh, Robin hood.
