Devate over the arrest in Texas
December 21, 2008, 7:38 am (2 years ago)In May 2008, Texas officials searched a Corpus Christi amusement center and arrested 14 executives employees with the charges of illegitimate gambling by the Dallas-based Aces Wired Inc and the confiscation of 90 'gambling machines' known as 8-liners, and around $175,000 in cash.
According to Associated Press, 14 men were accused by the Texas Attorney General's office. But there is now some argument over whether the activities suspected by the officials in fact formed gambling in any way.
Aces Wired CEO Kenneth Griffith, one of the 14 accused, released a public announcement explaining the he is positive that all those involved would be cleared.
Even though a trial date has not been scheduled, the charges are going to involve accusations of implementing an illegitimate gambling operation, involved in organized criminal activity and interfering with evidence.
