Barry,

I spoke with a gentleman at USBC National Headquarters in the bonding department. He said he has seen many cases of this. He says that USBC on any level with NOT go after any bowler for theft or any sort of legal charges. His best example and after some time thinking about it, he is very true. This would be like your next door neighbor(USBC) witnessing someone breaking into your house(us the league memebers) and your neigher(again USBC) wanting to press charges. Well USBC and that neighbor have no right to do anything as it didn't affect them directly. USBC is here to govern that rules and regulations are followed. Not that someone goes to jail or gets probation. That is why neither him or Ray will ever be able to hold office again. Roger also will not be allowed to bowl anything every again until that is paid back and we both know he is going to pay it back! So Roger will never bowl again and Ray will never hold office again.

If you would like to go down to Henderson Police Department you can file charges against him on behalf of the league from what I understand. I did want to do it, but with me moving to Florida for a few months I in no way want to deal with the headache if they were to call me back here for anything. I am going down there to get away from all the BS in Vegas right now. So please feel free to go down to Henderson and do what you feel.

Gordon currently has paperwork right now at USBC Headquarters with the bonding people. We are trying to get back 50% of the prize fund at this time. Roger will not be fired or let go of at Nationals due to they outsource their employment and he isn't hired by USBC directly. Also he will be allowed to bowl anything that is USBC sanctioned until USBC finishes their investigation, at which time he will have his USBC card revoked until he pays that money back.
