Meet Ken Uston--a 38-year-old senior vice president of the Pacific Stock Exchange in San Francisco...at least during the week. On weekends, Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos knew him as "The Mad Bomber", "The Roadrunner", "The Phantom", and other assumed names. He was the fearless ringleader of a team of elusive, handpicked card counters that terrorized the gaming industry.
