08-058077-2 (the second account). The second account was titled
similarly to the first account, but carried Hester's Social
Security number. Petitioner was authorized to make withdrawals
from the second account. Between February 4, 1988, and
November 28, 1990, petitioner withdrew at least $518,000 from the
second account.
Gambling in Atlantic City
During 1987, 1988, and 1989, petitioner traveled to Atlantic
City, New Jersey, to gamble at at least four casinos: Caesars
Atlantic City, Tropworld, Ballys Park Place Casino, and Trump
Casino Hotel. Hester, at times, accompanied petitioner to
Atlantic City. At each casino, petitioner bought chips, with
which to make bets (known as "buying in"). Additionally, at one
casino, Tropworld, petitioner maintained a front money account
from January 1988 through at least July 1990. A front money
account allows a patron to put money on deposit with the casino
and draw on the deposit at the gaming tables so the patron does
not have to carry around cash. The following represents
petitioner's gambling history at the casinos during 1987, 1988,
and 1989:
