Default Re: AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - the plot thickens

This is the first post I see about the credibility of the KGC and it is appropriate to bring this up. Living in Quebec I know a bit about those guys (the Mohawks of Kahnawake) and in my mind the Mafia/Mob is in there. So the people hosting the servers and providing the rules and regulation is the Mafia/Mob or a variation of it. Most native/Mohawks however are just normal people but a few in there are bad seeds.

Basically in 1990 there was a standoff between the Mohawks and the Provincial Police and then the Canadian Army that intervene later. In the end the Indians 'won' and the Army withdrew basically because of international pressures and appearances (The Canadians were seen like they were mistreating the native people). Guess what, the mafia/mob noticed and started using a few of the Indians to use the Native front to do illegal activities in the face of the authorities.

Now the RCMP and Provincial Police have stated many times that the gambling servers and activities in Khanawake are illegal but the political will was not there to do anything about it because of past experiences. This AP scandal may just be the excuse they needed to get in there and shut it all down…

A few links to substantiate my claims for those who care, and one last thought; I personally think that the AP scandal is just the tip of the Iceberg.
