casino chips, then fled on a motorcycle. Last week, authorities have accused a 29-year-old man of the crime. The crime wasn't exactly perfect because it would've been very difficult to fence the chips.

And it doesn't sound like the suspect kept a low profile, authorities tell the AP:

Bragging about a big gambling score with high school buddies over rounds of shots in Colorado. E-mailing pictures to a total stranger — dated and signed "Biker Bandit" with two $25,000 Bellagio chips. Losing $105,000 gambling at the scene of the crime in Las Vegas, but cashing out nearly $209,000 and apparently hoping the casino wouldn't notice.

In this photo provided by Matthew Brooks, Friday, Feb. 4, 2011, gambling chips are seen attached to a note written by the motorcylcle bandit who stole $1.5 million in casino chips from the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in December. The note was photographed and emailed to Brooks by a man who called himself the Biker Bandit. Anthony M. Carleo, the bankrupt son of a Las Vegas judge, was arrested this week on allegations that he ran out of the Bellagio hotel-casino with $1.5 million in chips during a gunpoint heist Dec. 14.
