Donkey, the journalist in me forgot to try and profit from the dissemination of facts. But not a bad idea. And you probably would be a pretty good person to talk to ... but don't overvalue your hand. They could easily talk about you using just your mugshot(s). With all this said, I understand if you all are pussies. :) zach, i don’t see anything to lose. it’s not like the cops don’t know where the different rooms are. except for the one room that got robbed — that one the cops didn’t know about until the operators had to call them. and we all know the 5-0 and the thugs alike know where the biggest game in town currently is … it’s just logistically a pain in the butt for them to deal with, and in general the room peeps are fine neighbors so no one complains.

Tell them you got the best guy, but it will cost them a buy-in to the Main Event. They ain't got no show without my angles on the scene. So, how much are we talking about here, Dan?
