Michigan Gaming Control Board reaches settlement in Flint forfeiture case
The complaint was against several shuttered storefront casinos.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has successfully resolved “a significant enforcement action involving former illegal gambling establishments known as The Cellular Vault, The Vault and The Flint Arcade.”
Earlier this year, a property nuisance company case was filed against L.D. Lam Properties, which is owned by Linos Antonio Kas-Mikha. As a result, Kas-Mikha was banned “from engaging in any other nuisance in any other building or place in Genesee County.”
Part of the settlement agreement involved ordering Kas-Mikha to pay $3,500 for “associated costs related to the case.”
MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams took a moment to thank those involved in bringing the case to a resolution.
He commented, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Illegal gambling operations anywhere undermine the integrity of our regulated gaming industry everywhere.
“The MGCB would like to extend its gratitude to Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley and to all the individuals and agencies who contributed to the successful resolution of this case, including law enforcement partners and community members who provided valuable information. This case settlement is proof that when we work together and partner with other state agencies and local leaders, positive change can happen.”
Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley echoed similar sentiments and thanked the Michigan regulator for its involvement.
He said, “I want to thank the Michigan Gaming Control Board and all of our law enforcement partners who helped ensure that this illegal gambling operation will no longer take advantage of vulnerable people in our community.
“I hope the forfeiture of the Corunna Road establishment sends a strong message that we will hold bad actors accountable when they profit from illegal activities that threaten public health and safety.”
