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?
