Apparently Pala's General Council just doesn't want to talk about Pala Interactive, that online gaming venture Robert invested $100 million of the Band's money in.
If Pala Casino is doing so bad how is it Pala Interactive is doing so good? Why isn't the Band provided financials about Pala Interactive? Are they making money? Why isn't the Band receiving any Return On Investment (ROI) from Pala Interactive?
PALA EXPANDING NEW JERSEY FOOTPRINT WITH BETGENIUS PARTNERSHIP — WHAT’S NEXT?
BY JOHN BRENNAN
Excerpt:
#
Pala Interactive launched the PalaCasino.com brand in the fall of 2014 and added PalaBingoUSA.com in the spring of 2016. PalaPoker.com launched preliminarily in mid-2017, and completed its full launch in December. Pala Casino offers access to more than 250 online casino games.
Pala and Borgata — together again?
So Pala already has a triple threat of online gambling angles — might the brass try to make it a quadruple threat? Pala’s online casino gaming and poker platforms come via a deal with Borgata, which just happened to be the first Atlantic City casino to offer sports betting in June and the first to offer mobile sports betting earlier this month.

The deal with BetGenius may help Pala with brand awareness, something it has in California but less so anywhere else. California seemed on the verge of legalizing online poker years ago, which presumably was a big factor in Pala’s foray into developing a website and online infrastructure. If online gaming regulation does come to California, Pala will have a leg up on rivals due to its experience in New Jersey.
In 1903 the Agua Caleinte Cupeno were removed from their ancestral tribal home, the Village of Kupa also known as Warner's Hot Springs. The Cupeno were forced onto the Pala Indian Reservation. This is known as the Cupeno Trail of Tears. On June 1st, 2011 and February 1st, 2012 162 Warner Ranch Evictee Agua Caliente Cupeno were removed from the PBMI Association by the Pala Enrollment Committee. This is our Second Trail of Tears.

If we are so invested in online gaming then why are we losing money? Oh Yeah. The NIGC doesn't regulate online gaming and the revenues are not subject to the tribes Revenue Allocation Plan. ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THEIR PALA MEMBERS. ROBERT, THERESA AND TIMBUKTUBENNICK DON'T HAVE TO SHARE A DIME WITH YOU. SO WHY IS OUR PER CAP GOING DOWN? ALL THE MONEY IS GOING TO PALA INTERACTIVE. CLOSE IT DOWN AT THE NEXT MEETING. DO IT NOW BEFORE THE PHONY REVIEW TAKES AWAY EVERYTHING WE HAVE.
All you members a blind and stupid to let the EC get away with this shit and for not demanding answers.
It's all here in black and white and even a blind person can understand what is going on.
Where is the money going to go from a per cap cut?
Into Pala Interactive and used to make Smith and Nieto more income for themselves, along with Jim Ryan and the rest of the ones that are part of the group that is stealing the Tribes money.
Vote down the cut its your money not theirs.
SEND YOUR COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS TO THE IRS AND ASK FOR HELP.
TELL THEM ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ABUSES THAT SMITH AND NIETO ARE PUTING ON THE TRIBAL MEMBERS.
@4:06 pm, are you saying Pala Interactive is a scam to convert casino revenue into personal income for Robert Smith? Since Smith is the majority owner, if the value of the company increases then Smith will cash in when the company is sold. The MOA says Smith put in 100 million for 67 percent ownership. He has been collecting payment for serving on the Board of directors and so have Nieto, Perez, and Villa. When the company is sold the money all goes to him even though the Band put up the money. Pretty good deal, and completely illegal. The GC should demand to see the contract, what the Band's participation is and the financial status on the company. The Pala Interactive website says that PBMI is the majority owner, but until a notarized portfolio is available for review it seems Smith pulled a fast one, and the IRS is doing nothing about it.
If all of these enterprises are doing so great then why is the per capita being cut instead of being raised?
Because this is just a control move by your friendly chairman and his partner in crime Theresa J. Nieto.
You don't have to put up with their shit any longer if you grow some balls and vote it down.
This is a big a great chance to finally say no to them tell them what you want and tell them to find a way to do it because you are fed up with their bullshit and you are not going to tolerate it any longer.
Maybe it's because Robert Smith's ring of bribery keeps expanding and he needs more money to support his agenda of theft and corruption. Many of the people who have supported his ever expanding lust for wealth and power are gone or out of positions where they can help him. Robert Eben was transferred, Frances Muncy retired. Pam Arviso resigned, Leslie Lohse is fighting criminal charges for her part in the Paskenta corruption, Michael Black has been reassigned and is no longer in D.C., Bonnie Dumanis is no longer San Diego's D.A., Howard Dickstein is travelling the world with his collection of Ferrari's, and so he might need to bring new blood into the fold.
It's ok. The Pala Casino is a productive piggy bank. And if there is a momentary shortage, he can take away from the members and claim financial hardship. The best thing about this tactic is when the temporary strain ends he can keep the money that is not being paid in per capita. Just like he did with the disenrollees share of per capita.
Vote it down until the EC agrees to a forensic audit and brings the findings back to the General Membership.
You all would be surprised what this audit will reveal.
You don't have to take their word for it.
Stand up and don't be afraid to tell them what you want for a change.
They got a loan for the Casino expansion so that is a lie they told you at that meeting.
They have another agenda that they are working on and the need additional funds to get it going, so don't believe their lies about the Casino or any other lies that they tell you about the financial status of the Tribe.
Make them cash in on some of the investments that we are "supposed" to have and vote to give a 10,000 dollar bonus this year to be paid no later than Dec.10th of 2018.
And don't let Nieto tell you that there is no money because you know that she is a natural born liar.
If a motion is made and a vote is taken and the motion passes they won't have a choice but to get the funds somewhere to pay it.
There is plenty of rumors spreading around that if the Feds don't act soon on Smith and Nieto that there is a group that's had enough of them and are going to take it into their own hands.
I believe this to be a legit rumor but believe its taken this long
anyone acted to do something.
Just hope that they are careful and be wise.
Kilma Lattin just posted on the Pala.rezoning Facebook page the Doc Mazzetti Chairman of Rincon says PBMI can't pay its bills and the other Bands know about the financial problems. He says Smith and Nieto concealed the finances from him when he was on the EC, and with his MBA he could have helped the Band make better financial decisions.
Then he says people should reelect the EC because then everyone will know who to blame if there isn't enough money to pay the bills. I guess you have to go Harvard to get that stupid. Right? Wait for financial collapse and default on the debt? Reelect the corrupt thieves that are chewing through the money faster than Casino makes it?
There you have it in so many words.
Stupid phone too. Bo Mazzetti is Rincon Chairman. Kilma posted on Palarez. Sorry for the errors.
We know what you meant.
Victor Lawton is Robert Smith 1st cousin so his opinion doesn’t really count.
Who is Victor Lawton? I've told everyone that I am Paul Johnson. My mother was Barbara Magee. No lies, just the verifiable truth from me.
The truth is coming out and soon all will lose per capita. Save while you can and don't wait for it to happen like all of us that were disenrolled. You have a warning and you can start saving now and planning for your future.
Paul, that last comment wasnt even geared towards you, its the name of a commenter on palarez, KilmaLattin post.
Wouldn’t have to go down if it wasn’t going out to Morongo Indians.
Ok, thanks. These Palarez posters are a piece of work. Nona Nejo chides Kilma for discussing tribal financial problems and says she will bring it up at a GC meeting and talk to the EC face to face. Right. Like she is really going to confront them at a meeting. I say she is all talk.
This while exchange is laughable. Kilma do nothing, delete post just in case his keeper Robert is reading. Nona do nothing, big mouth, pig supporter, telling gutless wonder to save it for a meeting, and both will be first in line to yell down anyone who speaks up.
Be proud PBMI. These are your activists, fighting to make Pala safe for corruption. Now here is my question. Losing the economic development fund every year doesn't get a rise out of them. Disenrollment and keeping the minors trust funds and no real increase in person capita doesn't get a rise out of them. Murders, FBI investigation, lawsuit after lawsuit doesn't get a rise out of them. Continual financial crisis doesn't get a rise out of them. Pala Interactive, replace Howard Maxey with phony vote, request correction to Constitution approval date, hire attorneys without GC approval doesn't get a rise out of them.
Tell me now. Do these jerks actually care about anything but their checks? I mean if either of them does something, and the odds are against it, it will only be because their income is threatened.
So who are the greedy ones in Pala? Hey go ahead if greed is your motivation. Money comes in handy. But stop painting broke disenrollees as greedy when you are the shining examples.
VOTE FOR KILMA LATTIN CHAIRMAN THIS YEAR AND PER CAPITA WILL GO UP
AS IT SHOULD, NOT DOWN.
That's funny. Kilma just wrote on Palarez to reelect the Pala EC. Are you sure he's running for office?
Yep we are sure.
You need to do your homework. The Lugo's are also Barker blood, which came from Pala. No I don't condone or backup the EC,but people need to have their facts straight. Not counting the Lugo blood MIGHT disenroll the younger generations but not the elders.
It would help. It’s only fair.
I wonder if Robert and Theresa Nieto are wondering if that was King lying in that casket being that it was never viewed.
Maybe King is still here somewhere watching and helping his people.
We all know that his spirit will live here with us forever but I wonder what the EC is thinking right now.
Are they jumping with joy thinking that they won the battle.
Well I have some good news for them, they may have won the battle but WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE WAR. HA HA HA HA HA HA .
One generation would be enough to fix the money problem.
An interesting dialogue is price comment. I think that you must write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic however generally persons are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers free online casino slots
