I don't know anything about organized crime outside of entertainment, but would they even want anything to do with him? I don't think the mob would gain anything from him except a laugh.
Nope. At face value, he is an unattractive, unkempt, unintelligible man without friend or family in Las Vegas, and his employment is only X months old. Where do you go to get your money if he doesn’t come through? He’s got no one.
I actually don’t even think Russ will put that much effort into gambling. He is aware of the other houses opening up further away in NV, so I’m sure he’s just dripping with anticipation of his first visit to the Ranch or whatever as a True and Honest Las Vegas resident.
That’s gonna cost money, and he’s been spending like a drunken sailor all year. Moving from Utah to Vegas, the costs that pile up with any move, the band he had to pay and the studio rental time...that’s not even factoring in the video or his “co-producer” who is most likely the actual one with a modicum of knowledge (and therefore not super cheap).
There’s no way he has the disposable income to afford all that - it was stimulus money all the way, and that’s long gone. Should Russ be unable to book a date because he’s a little light on funds, I have to imagine the chimpout would be glorious. He’d have to blame anyone but himself.
EDIT: re: Russ being afraid to catch an STD - nah, he wanted to have unprotected sex with the male sex worker who was kind enough to join us here and give us the scoop.
