A Chicago man was charged in connection with a strange heist in which someone posed as a tribal leader and stole $700,000 from a southwest Michigan casino, according to federal prosecutors.
Court documents revealed that on July 30, someone called the casino and falsely claimed he was the tribe's chairperson and needed funds to make an urgent payment. A supervisor at the casino gathered up $700,000 in cash, left the building and brought the money to a gas station in Gary, Indiana - at the caller's direction, according to the U.S. Attorney in Western Michigan.
