"I took the word of a Nevada chip expert that the two chips were 9N114 and 9N117 from the Silver Slipper in Las Vegas. I have proof of this."

What freaking chip guide has reference numbers that start with 9? You have known that these chips were Canadian, exposed yourself as one who attributed them as such on the web, have read (I hope) that the manufacturer's records are in the possession of a club member who can verify the date and place of delivery, yet you STILL play innocent. Do you know the meaning of the word "fraud"?
