Pirates rob a casino boat in NY.
4 masked men rob casino boat of $100G

October 2, 2005

Gary Gelman was outside the Majesty - a gambling ship docked on Nautical Mile in Freeport - when four gun-wielding men in ski masks ran by him about 7:30 p.m. last night.

Gelman, the owner of the Majestic Casino Cruise boat, yelled for them to stop, thinking they were late customers, he said, when one pointed a shotgun at his back and ordered him onto the ship.

"I was walking, telling him to stop, don't do this," Gelman said late last night. "He was telling me that he was going to shoot me because I was walking very slow."

The four men boarded the boat and robbed it of more than a $100,000, Gelman said.

2. Whaaa?
He said that while one man held a gun to his back - taking a $6,000 watch off his wrist...

If someone wanted to rob me of six large, they'd have to steal my car. Like three times.:D

8. One of the theories say it's an inside job.
There are some less than wealthy people that work there as deck hands getting paid very little. 100K would be a good take.
