+Bill Brennan and the Stardust Inside Job +
Sometimes, the most successful robberies are pulled off by the people the [casino](https://desejo.site/read-blog/11112_mastering-casino-etiquette-for-beginners.html) trusts the most: their own employees.
+
Bill Brennan was a trusted sports book cashier at the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas, described as a quiet, unassuming man.

He didn't run or cause a scene; he simply ended his shift and walked out the front doors like he did every single day.
+
When the casino realized the money was missing, Brennan had already vanished without a single trace.
