Not saying this is "THE" reason, personally I have no idea of anything about Burt or his family, BUT I used to know a guy who was a very smart, mathematically inclined, statistically capable dude, who worked part time as a semi-professional gambler, counting cards at blackjack in casinos.

Card counting is not illegal even though it's usually against casino policy (they can ask you to leave, legally, if they think you're doing it but you can't be arrested for it as long as no actual "cheating" is going on as well).

Playing high-skill blackjack at his high roller level required him to carry a lot of cash to the casinos, so he always had a ton of cash on hand, hidden at home etc.  He made a nice extra income from it and his blackjack work/play actually funded his family's yearly vacations to lots of places around the country and even around the world (anywhere there was a casino nearby, LOL).

But, anyway my POINT is that NONE of any of this is ILLEGAL.

It's nobody's business WHATEVER the Wagner family's reason was for keeping their money at home, in cash.

All this speculation about "what" and "why" he had some cash, at home, is all bullshit.

Suggest we leave it alone and get back to more important topics at hand, in this thread... can we?
