But, How Does He Really Feel????

Lawrence Hirsch is the attorney for the beleaguered Interactive Gaming Corporation, the Sports International and Global Casino operators who have been sued by the Missouri Attorney General and raided by the FBI. He shared with RGT OnLine his response to the Mo. AG after he found out the progress in the case.

According to Mr. Hirsch, in a letter dated May 23, he said: "This morning I spoke to Dale (Dale Youngs, an assistant Attorney General) and he advised me that he was sending a proposed order to the Judge and that the Judge would sign the order sometime next week, and at that time, a copy of the order would be sent to the defendant. And, now in the afternoon on Friday I get a copy of the order, lo and behold, from a prominent Kansas City newspaper. I can only surmise that your office's spin department wanted to make the most of the way that the AG's office carved up the bad boys. So far today I have been contacted by Time Magazine, MSNBC Online, the Kansas City Star and Associated Press and a bunch of other media hounds put on the scent of the blood that your office spilled.

When I had an opportunity to review the order, I was surprised at the depth and strength of the local lynching. It now appears clear that this action bought by the Attorney General's office is being driven strictly by political motivations and is a subversion and denigration of the rights and liberties of Missouri residents. In essence your office is depriving your citizenry of important private rights.

It might appear to be anomalous, but our company will stand up for and assert the rights of the citizens of Missouri to partake of our particular brand of amusement and entertainment. If indeed the issues are political then they should be decided by the people whose interests are affected and not by the Attorney General office of the State of Missouri which was never vested with that power or authority.

The paradigm is shifting.

In a hand-written note on that same letter, Hirsch asks the Attorney General, "Why didn't you send me at least a "courtesy" copy of the order before you turned it over and commented on it to the media? Is this covered by Missouri "civil" procedure?
