- What the report was probably referring to was the conclusion of a
- six or seven year investigation of the GC owners for skimming, tax
- evasion and a few other nits. At the time the offenses were discovered,
- San Jose toyed with shutting them down, but now that the city is deeply
- addicted to the cardroom's tax revenue, they're just forcing the owners
- to sell and pay some stiff fines.
