MIAMI (WSVN) – A 20-year-old Miami man is facing felony fraud charges after detectives said he helped scam a man out of approximately $4,000 during a bottle cap gambling game in downtown Miami.<\/p>\n
Jordan Alexander Bustillo was arrested Wednesday on charges of organized scheme to defraud and obtaining property through gaming, according to a Miami Police arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police said the victim met an unknown man known as \u201cBank Roller\u201d while near Northeast Fifth Street and participated in a bottle cap gambling game, handing over about $4,000 in cash to play.<\/p>\n
According to detectives, the victim later learned the suspect was allegedly known in the downtown-Brickell area for scamming people through the same game and demanded his money back. <\/p>\n
Police said the suspect refused, got into a gray Honda Accord and fled with the cash.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the victim recorded the interaction on his cellphone, and the video allegedly showed Bustillo participating in the game alongside the main suspect<\/p>\n
Detectives accused Bustillo of acting as an accomplice by pretending to be a successful player and helping create the false impression that the game was legitimate and winnable.<\/p>\n
Police said the victim was manipulated through sleight-of-hand techniques and coordinated distractions designed to convince him to continue wagering money.<\/p>\n
Bustillo was already in custody in connection with another Miami Police case involving a similar modus operandi when detectives arrested him in this investigation, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
