Yes something like that. And one of the main investors of Apollo Management (which owns Caesars) was René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet. René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet was also investing his clients funds into Madoff ponzi scheme under his investment firm Access International Advisers:



René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet was later found dead from suicide. It is possible that the money that funded Apollo Management came from Madoff's fund.

I'm working on a list of companies to boycott and almost every major casino and hotel is on it. The best thing you could do if you are going to be there the whole summer is rent a house off a private individual who is hurt by the real estate crash. You might be able to find a great deal.

No Mike, and Jacuzzi Brands is on Boycott list too. So please do not avoid jumping into any hot tubs with hot Vegas Strippers either if the opportunity presents itself hehe. This is the boycott list and I'm working on alternatives list. I understand that players will not be able to avoid these companies all the time but the key is to cost them money. People are going to have to play at tournaments at these casinos, I just hope they stay at another hotel if they don't have comps. Please play casino games like slots at a an alternative list of casinos I am working on now.

to be fair, he wants to bring legal ipoker to the US. he just worked hard to discredit and decimate his offshore competition that has served us so well these last years.

keep up the investigation, though, I'm interested.

wow that's an expansive list.

Yes sorry. He wants to get rid of current online poker rooms. I'm personally very happy with Pokerstars , Full Tilt Poker , Carbon, Party, and Doyles Room. I made a living supporting all the major online poker rooms as an affiliate. I could care less about Ultimate Bet. Ultimate has cheated players and f'd affiliates every chance.

Do you publish a list of certified clean brands I can frequent?
