Reposting from the other thread.
So, I have to now change my vote, given the latest development.
Background: I know Bryan very well, as I almost always got to the livestreams early, and he’s one of the guys that helps you mic up.
One of the things they tell you to do is to NOT turn on and off your mic yourself, and to just let the dealer know you want to be muted. Bryan is one of the guys that mutes you when you request this.
When you’re muted, your mic pack moves to a red indicator light, from green.
Her not pressing charges is potentially indicative of him outing her for collusion with him, doesn’t make any sense. Him stealing money from her is potentially indicative of him being angry that she gave the money back, which would have been his cut. If his cut was 10%, $15k seems like an appropriate calculation of that from $135k.
The easiest indicator for that person to make a “call / fold” signal would be to mute / unmute that mic. I haven’t reviewed the hand to see if she looks at her mic pack, but it’s a decent theory.
To be clear, the mic pack is the ONLY tech other than regular watches that’s allowed on a person. Even Apple Watches are supposed to be turned in. If he knew he might be found out, taking the $15k may have been his last hurrah.
Very interesting developments all around.
