There is something quite wrong with someone that could throw away these sums of money, they either have mental illness or they have been so cushioned by family wealth that they don't know what to do when if an inheritance made it's way to them. It is completely bizarre to have everything in the world available to you and throw it away in return for a bit of a buzz from a few spins on gaming. I don't even hold the casino responsible in this situation, someone of his level would have been well aware of the risks and what he was doing, but instead of accepting responsibility for his poor decisions he is now pretending to be a victim. A complete lack of self control and restraint led to the financial downfall here.
