[Maritime Q-Scout]

ok I want to be sure I understand things properly (I'm not questioning anyone's arguments, I want to be certain I'm understanding things correctly).

I'm assuming from the article that if you get a big payout in a United States casino (or even small one) you get a reciept of the winnings. I'm also assuming this is done for tax purposes.

I'm assuming that he was heading back to Canada at some point with his winnings.

I'm also assuming that he would have to declare his winnings when crossing the boarder, thus needing the proper paperwork to do so.

I'm assuming that if he didn't have the proper paperwork, or got searched for not declaring the money he'd be fata'd by the long hard dip of the law.

IF all my assumptions are true, wouldn't he just have had to show the officer his reciepts and all's well?
