Let's parse this to see if it makes any sense...
"I trusted him because his bag was in the booth."
This implies Giddings thinks the bag of money was sufficient security for the $80,000 (or whatever) of cards.
We had no idea how much money was in the bag; it’s not my job to do that.
This says Giddings had no idea whether or not the bag of money was adequate collateral for the cards.
Contradictory statements back to back, it seems to me.
Furthermore, if the bag of money had $100k in it, and the cards were priced something less than that, why not just use some of the money from the box and complete the transaction?
