The Binge. Feed your true crime obsession. The Binge. A heads up before we get started, I just wanted to let you know this episode has references to suicide and addiction. I never know what I'm going to get when I talk with Sarah. Sometimes she'll be in the middle of telling me a story when she flubs the pronunciation of her own name.
And they go, are you Sarah King? And I said, Excuse me, Sarah King. I always say Sarah.
Okay, hold on a minute. I have struggled for months to make sure I say Sarah. You just called yourself Sarah. Holy hell. This just feels like an alternative universe where there's two Sarah Kings.
There's Sarah and there's Sarah. And which one I'm going to get, I never know. Other times, she'll suddenly admit to something she's been denying for months. So you've never been threatened? No.
Well, Ronald Richards also said that you told him in Zoom calls that people had threatened your life and that you were afraid. Two different things. Not people I owed money to. People who owed me money. You know, this is one of those nuances that drives me crazy. Just tell me the story.
No, I mean, it's not really a nuance.
I asked you specifically, did someone threaten you? You just said no. And now you're saying yes. So which is it?

Chapter 2: Why did Sarah turn herself in?
I called John McCabe, actually. I'm like, what the fuck do I do? I'm just like, what do I do? He's like my only person I have, like, at that point. He's like, go to Resort World.
At this key moment, when it seemed like Sarah was finished, she headed right across the street to another casino.
I have all my luggage. I actually have to bring in my own luggage, which is very unusual. And I have my dog.
Sarah didn't know if this casino would even let her in.
I go to the front and I talk to a host there who used to work at Wynn. And I was like, this is what they kicked me out. I don't know why. And I was like, this is what's going on. So would he buy her line? And he's like, that's OK. I'm enrolled in a blackjack tournament. I've got you a suite upstairs. Go put your stuff down.
Sarah must have seemed like she could stand to lose a bit more money.
And he goes, I don't really care. You're fine. You're good. They put me in the room, huge, like three bedroom suite. And I dropped my dog off and I go straight down in 10 minutes to the blackjack tournament and I win.
Resorts World did not immediately respond to our emails requesting comment. Sarah said she won 50 grand that night. At this point, who knows what her real balance was and where that money ended up.
When it all came to a head in Las Vegas, and I actually had no money left. It was very, very stressful. I went to casinos and I said, you know, I'm a major player at the Wynn. Can I have free play to try out your casino? That's kind of how I restarted everything. They gave me $10,000 free credit to play and when I'd win, it would be great.
