This is from Nate Evans, Director of Operations at First Fidelity. This is in response to libelous statements made about us by customer JK in California. We are not going to ge into a pissing contest with this man, this is a ONE TIME ONLY response. All future communication will be through our lawyers in a libel and defamation suit.
Customer JK recently lost over $7000 playing blackjack. He then attempted to blackmail us into paying him the $7000 or he would sue and give us bad publicity. When we refused, he assaulted our telephones Wednesday night, attempting to tie up our lines. I have my telephone records showing over 500 incoming calls from this person's "office" in a 4 hour period. When we refuse to play blackmail, this is the result.
The facts of the situation are:
1. Our casino is completely fair. In blackjack we use 1 deck, and it is randomly shuffled after each hand. I will submit this software for ANYONE who wants to test it.
In fact, I WILL OFFER A $10,000 REWARD TO ANYONE WHO CAN ESTABLISH THAT IT IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A RANDOM SHUFFLE.
I have 15000 active customers, wouldn't someone else have noticed this by now?
I believe this settles the basis for JK's rant.
2. This is a customer who recently pulled a similar scam at Heritage where "I didn't make the plays, someone else must have" was the best he could come up with in trying to shake them down for thousands. Heritage traced the IP to same computer, and he gave up the scam.
3.After the 400th or so call, JK was told that if he had been serious about a lawsuit, his 400+ phone calls and psychotic behavior would probably ruin his chances. We recommended he get immediate attention, (and I, personally, worried that he was going to jump out a window while I was talking to him) and we called his house, informing the person who answered about his behavior and advising they get him help.
I would like to here these tapes of people, "even small children" being threatened, as I was here for the entire scene, and can truthfully state that NOTHING OF THE SORT OCCURRED.
This is simply a disgruntled sore loser, who maxed out his credit cards playing blackjack and is going to extremes to blackmail money. I have no need to threaten anyone. If JK has anything of value (I doubt it), it will be obtained in a libel suit.
I strongly reccommmend that all other books check for this serial scammer. Contact me using your book's URL and I will forward you the information.
