The following story combines poker, a clumsy plan and 25 pounds of crystal meth. You might almost think in an episode of Breaking Bad.
Three Canadian crossing in Australia and aged from 33 to 47, have a common objective: to facilitate the creation of a laboratory for the production of methamphetamine. Since August, 2012, these three men working on behalf of a well-organised international group. In the upcoming laboratory, they have the project to 25 kilos of crystal meth.
What they do not know any times (but will expect later), is that the police has doubts about them and their activities and decides to place on listen.
But before that men don't have doubts, police already had the incriminating records.
When men go to the evidence that the police surely of doubts (and perhaps even of evidence) thereon, they decide to pass to the players of poker pros.
They therefore decide to stay at the famous Crown Casino and claim to participate in the 4th edition of theAustralia New Zealand Poker Tour scheduled a few days later.
All is well until the eve of their departure for the Canada, while the police catches.
The charges against them are very heavy and 3 men may even to life imprisonment. 3 men have no resistance and plead guilty by confessing their crimes.
On the other hand, one of the three men (who also pleads guilty) tries to lighten his sentence by claiming that there is under the threats of his boss to whom he owed money. The money he would have borrowed this man would have served to his wife, who have a gambling problem.
A Canadian who makes crystal meth in Australia to repay debt game of his wife, "sick life" might say!
