TMZ.com-Antoine Walker’s nickname used to be Employee Number 8 — now it’s Employee Number minus 822,500.

Walker has been charged with three felonies for allegedly obtaining gambling markers by passing $1 million in bad checks to three Las Vegas casinos: Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and Red Rock Resort.

Walker has paid back some of the bad markers, but still owes $822,500.

How did it this get so out of hand before he was caught? Maybe they should have noticed when he was asked to pay and started writing checks. Who the fuck pays at a casino with a check? Oh that’s right. I know who. People with no money. Nowadays checks are simply a way of saying “I have no money, but this buys me at least a week until someone notices.” It seemed to work for a bit in Walkers case, but he let it get a little out of hand. Its not like he was The Dude writing $.69 checks to pay forhalf and half at the super market, which is easily a bad check you can get away with. You just gotta know your limits.
