    Sounds like Asian Money Laundering to me? These guys have long spoon-fed the likes of Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia and Senator Ricardo Lara for protection. Wonder if the casino finally said enough is enough so the tables turned on them?? I believe these guys also dumped a ton of chips into Central Basin’s Pedro Acuituno’s campaign as well??
