As far as Casey Serin was concerned, that didn't apply. The evidence came from a bank that stood to gain if he succeeded."

There may be a version of Casey out there that suceeded, because he gambled one year earlier than Casey. If Casey had pulled this off, he would have been considered a real estate genius.

Chance plays a large role.
