In the early days of FedEx, Smith had to go to great lengths to keep the company afloat. In one instance, after a crucial business loan was denied, he took the company's last $5,000 to Las Vegas and won $27,000 gambling on blackjack to cover the company's $24,000 fuel bill. It kept FedEx alive for one more week.

This is almost impossible (to more than quintuple one's money in one week at Blackjack), and for it to happen at a critical juncture for a now mega-corporation reeks of bullshit. I suspect the MIT group that practiced advanced card counting for years and worked in effective groups never once pulled this off (quintuple their current bankroll in one week).
He got it somehow else, maybe a drug deal or whatnot.
