    I was curious about card counting and found this on WikipediaUnited States[edit]

    Card counting is not illegal under federal, state, and local laws in the United States as long as no external card counting device or person assists the player in counting cards. Casinos object to the practice, and try to prevent it,[22] banning players believed to be counters. In their pursuit to identify card counters, casinos sometimes misidentify and ban players suspected of counting cards even if they do not.[23]

    Atlantic City casinos in the State of New Jersey are forbidden from barring card counters as a result of a New Jersey Supreme Court decision. In 1979 Ken Uston, a Blackjack Hall of Fame inductee, filed a lawsuit against an Atlantic City casino, claiming that casinos did not have the right to ban skilled players. The New Jersey Supreme Court agreed,[24] ruling that “the state’s control of Atlantic City’s casinos is so complete that only the New Jersey Casino Control Commission has the power to make rules to exclude skillful players.” The Commission has made no regulation on card counting, so that Atlantic City casinos are not allowed to ban card counters. Being unable to ban counters even if detected, Atlantic City casinos increased countermeasures.[25]

    This is all true, BUT…

    1. Mel was out of the country and their laws are probably very diifferent.

    2. She had already been removed from the casino and decided to go back to the same place and do it again. 

    I don’t know if a casino would have sent their agents after her. $70,000, if that was the amount, is a paltry sum for these places and it could have cost much more than that to recover it.

    And what rights legally do they have to come into this country, bring a hired thug which he obviously was, and beat up on foreign citizens? My guess is they would have had to wait for her to return to the country where the casino is before they could do anything like what went on this week.

    they had ties with Interpol so it’s possible they are able to go into other countries to apprehend a criminal. (Is card counting a crime?)

     That was more an attempt to scare Melanie than anything. Her ties could have been an ex LOL. I just thought it was a little ridiculous is all.
