Orlando IS Going to a 2 Man Roster to Avoid State Fees!!!

This is from Post that was from Merry Festival.
Dave Catina sold Rick Birdoff on running a 99 game, 2 man roster, season!!!!! Several players were "offered" this a couple of days ago. Dave Catina told them (and I quote) "We need to avoid paying state fees, our intention is to run 99 games throughout 2013 without receiving handle, once we deliberately do that, we will go back to the state for 2014 (having proved we lost money) and the state will have to waive the fees for 100 games for 2014" One of the players who accepted this crap is Mateo! There will be 5 games per "performance" to 5 points, just 2 players. Some players obviously refused this but there will be one other idiot who will do it. Doesn't this amount to deception or fraud? Would the state be interested in this "plan"? The nightly player pay is 50 bucks with 5 bucks as the "bonus" per game!!!!!! Should Mark Bander dust off his Cesta? Look for this to become reality very soon!
I have net this guy Steve Allen up at OJA and have seen him out with the players. I believe this to be true!!!
Shame on Orlando Jai Alai!!
Remember the guys in Ocala got $75,000 each, not $75. Why on earth would these guys or anyone do this.
Wow!
