I saw that about brother Larry. Guess the Reid family times are something to behold. I've wondered if an exercise band broke, I bet he would be suing the manufacturer knowing what kind of person he is.
The first speculation I read was that he dissed a mobster he was fronting for on a casino deal. Plausible. However, after reading about what his brother said and did around the event and other circumstances, it seems pretty clear to me that it was an altercation with his brother --an even more plausible explanation for the obviously phony exercise band explanation.

Elliott spent a portion of last New Year’s Eve at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Henderson, Nevada. His AA group has meetings every hour on New Year’s Eve, along with a pot luck supper. There were approximately 20 people present at the meeting during the events described below.
Some time between 10:00 and 11:30 p.m., a man entered the meeting. His appearance was striking: there was blood on his clothing, beginning around his midsection. His left hand was swollen. He appeared to be somewhat intoxicated and was visibly agitated. He introduced himself as “Larry.”
In a group discussion that was heard by a number of people, Larry said that he had just had a fight with a family member. Larry said he had been at a family get-together, and he didn’t remember much about the fight because he had blacked out. When he came to, he was rolling on the ground, fighting with a family member, and his clothes were bloody. Now, he said, he was frightened that the Secret Service would come after him.
Of course, as corrupt as Reid is, it's possible this story was floated as sounding better than a mob beating.
