I saw this press release from PGR when I was on their website for an unrelated reason. Anyone know anything about it? The names of the two men who were "secured"? Where is that casino? (Google Translate)

    Thats the casino close to the baseball stadium, there has always been a lot of activity (police) whenever we go by it. It seems kind of shady to me.

    Being a cynic, I assumed that there was an issue concerning mordida or something along those lines... But that's just me. I could be wrong. ;)

    Getting a permit for a casino is very expensive and takes a long time....maybe someone took some shortcuts that came back to bite.
