SCHOENMANN: The Cipriani case, which we talked about previously, seemed relatively minor, did that set the bar so low that they must go for everything? Or is this Stroj case potentially bigger? And I guess I would think it's bigger because people who work in the casinos need Sheriff cards, they presumably get background checks. Some of the allegations that have surfaced do make it newsworthy, and I think that's what's put it in the press is the marketing of the issue and the fact that Cipriani - he was arrested for cheating at gambling at Resorts World. He has an organized crime connection years ago in Philadelphia, and, you know, convicted felon, he has an illegal gambling background, so that makes it more controversial.
