anyone care to comment on this twist in the story:

stockhouse.com

In a twist that does not bode well for BC's Premier Glen Clark, Steve Ng is a shareholder in Starnet. This local businessman, a part owner of the North Burnaby Inn, has been tied by some reports to an investigation in Clark's involvement in granting casino licenses. The homes of both men were raided by police back on March 2nd.

"We did hear from the attorney for the company. The stories are true," one of the sources explained. "The police were raiding to collect files for illegal bookmaking."

Wayne, no jibberish. I know FAHN fairly well, and they are well known in the industry for performing thorough dd before initiating a size position. It appears that placing bets on the SNMM sites is part of the dd they perform.

A little more than a year ago, they sent undercover "students" to test out the enrollment and "learning" process at the Computer Learning Center. Subsequently, they reported that findings to the authorities, and the State Attorney General's Office (I believe it was Illinois) took proper action shortly after. Computer Learnig Center was trading in the 30s then, but I believed it's now trading around 4.
