$1,052,475 to Resorts East Chicago Casino, East Chicago, IN, c/o Nicolas R. Amato, Resorts International Holdings, Atlantic City Hilton Hotel and Casino, Boston and Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, joint and several with:
The government's spreadsheet of restitution amounts due to victim casinos, calculates the loss to Resorts East at$l,563,775. Resorts East was reimbursed $511,300 by Federal Insurance. $1,563,775 - $511,300 = $1,052,475, the figure used. Resorts East Casino claimed a loss of $1,603, 367, which is $39,592 more than the government's figure. Since Federal Insurance paid Resorts East for approximately 33% of the loss, restitution is split 67% to Resorts East and 33% to Federal Insurance. Thang Viet Huynh cashed out $116,200 at Resorts East. $116,200 X 67% = $77,854 in restitution to the casino and $38,346 to Federal Insurance. Although a CTR-C shows Han Truong Nguyen was at Resorts East, the casino is not listed as a victim for Restitution in his Judgment (DE 366), however Federal Insurance is listed for $808,300.
