I have visited the website <http://www.dougsplotch.net>.
This website focuses on a series of incidents about an alleged casino
operation involving a number of members of your church. According to
the website documents, the casino story began in the fall of 2001, when
the son of the dean of New St. Andrews College opened a blackjack casino
in his garage.
The website explains that "the casino was a fully operational gaming
facility equipped with books, chips, wet bar, free alcohol, a secret
doorbell, casino trappings, credited money from the house, and a $100
betting-limit per hand. In addition to violating state laws, such as
dispensing alcohol to minors, the casino violated federal statutes,
including a handful of racketeering laws. The casino's patrons were all
members in good standing at Christ Church; many were students at New St.
Andrews."
According to the documents provided on that website, when you discovered
the casino, you paid $1,000 from church funds to settle the debts and
protect the casino operators.
Is the information provided on this website accurate?
