    A bundle of cash allegedly found in a safe during an FBI search of Jesus Gaytan-Garcia’ s home in the 5900 block of South Keeler Avenue allegedly still had a wrapper stamped with the date and location that $700,000 was stolen from the Four Winds Casino in Hartford, Michigan.

    CHICAGO — A high-profile $700,000 heist from Michigan casino last year has led federal authorities on a trail back to Chicago, where a South Side man was arrested this week on charges of participating in a made-for-Hollywood scheme to impersonate the casino’s tribal operator and cage boss, court records show.
