LAS VEGAS — Carl Wesley Thomas Sr., a member of Nevada's "black book" of persons banned from the state's casinos, has been killed in an Oregon traffic accident. He was 60.
Authorities said Thomas was driving alone Nov. 4 11 miles south of Frenchglen when his truck swerved and rolled over.
Thomas was a gaming executive whose career crumbled when the FBI caught him teaching mob figures how to skim money from Las Vegas casinos in 1979.
