Word from the Rez:
A recent letter from the rez to our politicians has pointed out that former tribal chair Jennie Miranda has been investigated for money laundering and embezzlement from the tribe. They were not disenrolled, as 25% of the tribe has been, but disenfranchised, a new term. No per capita, but still get their health care. How disgusting. Congratulations Macarro.
As of as recent as April the Pechanga tribe has been dealing and covering RICO act violations and discussion of money laundering and embezzlement, committed by Jennie, Larry, Anthony, Andrew and Raymond Miranda all were found to have purchased slot machines illegally and illegally sold them. This family has held positions of power serving on the tribal council, the gaming commission and the Pechanga Development Corporation.
Please be aware that this is the start of a new type of organized criminal organization. Because of sovereignty congress is to a degree giving their "blessing" to this activity by ignoring numerous violations and illegal activity. The Tribal Councils involved fear of wielding sovereignty like a sword to destroy anything or anyone that will get in the way of their agendas, legal or not. There is no concern for the individuals or the tribe as a whole.

so what does this really mean?
I don't understand,the tribe can't handle that alone?
The FBI must charge those people if that happened ?
Where's the charges ?
Are you saying the FBI is looking the other way?
Post a copy of the letter of action against Jennie,....
really, was it just her or all the others mentioned also?
We need the letter,for CNN,..
My understanding is that it was the five named that were banished and disenfranchised, I believe they will still get indian health.
Sovereignty does not cover criminal acts. The Rico act violation is a federal crime and the F.B.I. needs to arrest these people they also need to get court orders to look at the investigation report done for the tribe on this matter.
May I point out that Raymond's last name is not Miranda, unless it is a different Raymond, but the one who is Jenny's uncle is Raymond Basquez Sr.
Bull shit lets see a arrest...
I do not believe this shit,..
was that andrew masiel?
Raymond Miranda is the father of Anthony and Andrew. He worked at the casino as a shift manager.
The state and the Feds have jurisdiction in criminal matters on a reservation in California.
Your rumors don't even make "legal" since.
Federal indictments may be sealed while the investigation is under way. The feds can obtain a pre trial restraining order or injunction and temporarily seize the defendant’s assets to prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property. An injunction and/or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict. It is possible that the feds are already taking the per cap checks from the Mirandas so the tribe’s “Disenfranchisement” of the accused tribal members only stops payments that would be intercepted by the feds. The tribe could conceivably pay the back payments to the accused when and if any seizure order is lifted. The feds are notoriously secretive about these kinds of investigations, and tribal officials probably are out of the loop. The feds may be cooking up more indictments, possibly on the tribal officials themselves. One day soon, the indictments will be unsealed. Until then, everything you hear is just gossip because the IRS Criminal Investigations people, the bean counters for the FBI, knows that leaking the details of their case would wreck a lot of painstaking work.
The fact are there was a tribal meeting Jennie ,Larry ,Anthony ,Andrew and Raymond all Miranda’s were found to have stolen 40 million dollars from the tribe and bought and sold illegally slot machines. They were disenfranchised from the tribe not disenrolled. Ask any members where any of these people are when there is a tribal function. Now I don’t know if the tribe has made a deal on handling the tribal members first then the feds will move in or if they have kept this out of sight of the feds. Remember the feds need probical cause before they can audit tribal records. Another point is Jennie was on the P.D.C so was Anthony, Andrew was a gaming commissioner Raymond was a shift manager and Little Larry was the poker manager. Jennie was pushing for him to be the casino GM.

OP who is this posting? tracking cookie-----FBI?

Hmm? Advanced thinking for anyone in this chat room?
I wonder if anyone reported them to the IRS? If they received money and didn't pay taxes they could freeze their assets and sent them to jail. That's what got Capone. In fact I think the IRS even pays people that tip them off when they are able to collect the funds.
I'm calling bullshit on all of this!
It would be more believable is Elvis and Michael Jackson were performing in the show room, how many years have you people been saying indictments were coming?
Time to change your game plan.
Probably just a maneuver, getting per cap under the table, betcha.
spell check please,...or is that pechanga code talking?
Why are you so upset. You act if it was you that was disenfranchised and what game plan are you talking about. Jennie is gone, so good riddens
If it true and Jennie and the others bought and sold illegal slot machines then there must be true that Raymond Basquez had a house near the Mexican border. Is this the house that they moved the machines to Mexico?
Well there was a letter and a meeting so something did happen,.
(Why are you so upset) are you for god damn real?
People get banished for questioning enrollment for life ?????????
And that Bitch steals 40 million dollars and keeps her health benifits and walks around and drinks tea at the casino????
Why wouldn't they banish her from the reservation and the Casino if she was caught stealing?..she must know all the dirt on your chief.....is Raymond Basquez related to her?..and did he get dis-enfranchised also?...I see those same names popping up on this site!...it's like a really bad soap opera that unfortunately is true and not one legit newspaper has the balls to report because they might lose some advertising dollars.
So where is the 40 million? That's more money then these "Criminals" can spend in a life time. And they still get "Free Health Care?" What's wrong with this "Picture?"..."Eagle Eyes."
It definitely shows us the kind of person Jennie Miranda is.
She would cruelly mastermind the termination of real tribal members, steal from the tribe, side with a man who would've split the tribe.
Where is Andrew Masiel's involvement in this?
That 40 million is up her butt fighting for air!
And mark macarro is part of it, a real chief would protect the tribe and compact,...
Mark fucked the tribal members by letting jennie steal.
When those sealed warrants come out (the press enterprizes) will pull their head out of their ass.
You all have to remember Jennie always had an agenda back 30+ years ago she along with Butch Murphy attempted to gain control of the tribe going as far as petitioning the BIA to recognize them as the rightful tribal council.
If the council is keeping it away from any "outsiders" maybe this involves a whole lot of people whom are attempting to protect themselves.
Word on the rez, people are afraid of the feds closing the casino.
I don't see macarro and these dickheads turning the government over to the real pechanga people,.
Sorry the casino will be closed down (when the paperwork is unsealed).
"Why wouldn't they banish her from the reservation and the Casino if she was caught stealing?..she must know all the dirt on your chief.....is Raymond Basquez related to her?..and did he get dis-enfranchised also?...I see those same names popping up on this site!...it's like a really bad soap opera that unfortunately is true and not one legit newspaper has the balls to report because they might lose some advertising dollars."
Raymond is her uncle and he owns a school which teaches casino card dealers how to do their job.
Reportedly one of the things Jenny was doing was taking kick backs for getting dealers jobs at the casino.
If this is true, I wonder if Raymond was involved in this as well as after all, he owns the school.
“Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,
but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
Yes,...but Raymond pretends that that white wife of his owns the dealer school...the lady with the big mouth!
OCCUPY CASINOS STOP THE CORRUPTION TODAY....
Since the USA Government can not get involved in tribal affairs..and since these Federal tribes think they control all the native american message boards etc.....
And since these tribes are doign this all because of the money the casinos bringing them and the money the USA citizen tax payers is bringing them...we can hit them at the source....
Pick a certain day...and make a OCCUPY CASINOS....just like the occupy wall street.....not at just 1 casino...but ALL the tribal casinos at once..... this will make national news and the USA citizens will be forced to know what their money is funding.....
We must band together and make our voice heard in a large number....once the USA citizens are forced to know whats going on....there will be like 80 percent decrease in Casino money...and the citizens will start asking questions about what their TAX money is going to.... when citizens find out this is what their TAX money is funding they will NOT be happy at ALL....
We must post more videos on youtube....we must boycott the casinos....we must pass out flyers to the citizens...informing them that their TAX dollars is funding this..inform them that them spending money in casinos is funding this also...inform them that their money is NOT going to the people they think it is going to.....
We must inform civil rights activists all over the USA of this...
In order to make cock roaches scatter you must turn the light on them...
The tribes may have special rights and be able to bully us on their land..but once we off that land we have our OWN special rights....our voices are NOT chained.....we have freedom of speech...we have freedom to boycott....we have the right to inform the public....
NEVER FORGET TECUMSEH OR HIS WORDS
Wrong (flash mob) everybody pulls out signs out of jackets corrupt casino leave,,,,......
Why do you speak of a warrior from the shawnee nation?
can the casino really be closed because of her and her family--that would be something.
Yes the casino can be shut down because they committed a Rico act violation. They were also in key tribal positions they were on the Pechanga Development cooperation and gaming commissioners. Now if the next sets of offenders are on the council the casino is in great jeopardy. Remember the tribal council in Recon bought and sold slot machines illegally and they were closed by the feds and if remember they were sentence to 5 years in prison. The only reason they reopen was that the other tribes donated some of their machine count to them. This was the time that the state aloud each casino a certain amount of machines. So if any member of the P.D.C. or Gaming and Council are part of this then tribal members can thank them for shutting down there casino.
The last poster is right,how do you charge 10 or 15 key pechanga government officials of racketeering and leave the casino open?
If mark macarro was much of a man,he along with murphy and masiel would stand down from the council and resign (to save the compact)!
What's RICO ?
the picayune tribal council members have engaged in arson, embezzlement, drug trafficking, AND terrorism on tribal land--ALL federal offences...
why aren't the MEMBERS OF THE PICAYUNE RANCHERIA OF THE CHUKCHANSI INDIANS TRIBAL COUNCIL/CEDA BOARD being charged and prosecuted under the RICO act??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows for the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because they did not actually do it.
To the person talking about RICO, where did you hear that charge?
Is that going around the Rez?
Back to the other post, MACARRO resign,MASIEL,MURPHY,GARBINO,resign
If the compact gets closed its your fault.

How close to the "Border?".."Could there, also, be some "Illegal Dealings" in regards to the "Border?" Do they, also, have relatives cross the "Border?" Are they in "Ca-Hoots" with the "Cartels?" Could they be "Trafficing?" All good "Questions?" Would you put it "Past Them?"..."Does "Anyone" even know?...."Eagle Eyes."
Shouldn't Jennie's kids be taken out too? They have benefitted from her theft.
All should pay who benefits.
Raymond Basquez daughter Rita was busted for drugs and running guns. I wonder if she was running guns over the border to the dug cartels.
so she was running them out of her dads house at the Mexican border with the slot machines.
What about that bitch lawyer miranda she knows all about it ,she should go to prison.
Didn't Raymonds grandson move to Texas?...another border state?
17 Charged With Trying To Control Indian Casino
Published: April 20, 1997

A reputed crime syndicate tried to infiltrate and control an Indian casino on the Rincon reservation near San Diego, according to Federal indictments unsealed on Friday.
Seventeen people were charged, including a former member of the tribe's governing council who was accused of accepting a bribe, United States Attorney Alan Bersin said. Most of the charges involved organized crime figures from Pittsburgh and Ohio, he said. The defendants have surrendered or arranged to surrender.
''This is the kind of threat that we need to remain vigilant about,'' Mr. Bersin said at a news conference.
The indictments, unsealed in San Diego and Pittsburgh, accuse the defendants of taking control of the Columbia Group, an investment consortium registered in Nevada that financed the 1995 reopening of the Rincon River Oaks Casino, about 35 miles northeast of San Diego, would have been used to launder money, the authorities said. But the casino was quickly shut down because a Federal judge ruled that it violated an agreement to limit the use of video slot machines, which are illegal in the state.
FUCKING JENNY
I bet the casino stays closed for 3 or 4 years,....
Hope Riverside County anbd City of Temecula have contingency plans.
Can you magine the money being hidden even as you read this?..
You people should write science fiction books!
Anonymous said, "You people should write science fiction books!" Well, you people are probably sweating because your drug habit funding might be taken away soon. Have fun with withdrawals!
You mean mark macarro's new "prison name" is (Two pack Tammy)!
You can have his butt for two packs of cigarettes in prison.
Or is that "butches" name?
I hope Jenny likes "women" because shes gonna be someones lovergirl in prison. Alot of "bush" in there.
Well if they end up in Folsom, I personally know the guards there and I will let them know that these Indians are evil and do not need special treatment, because usually the guards treat native Americans with respect, but I will make them aware of the crimes to other Indians that these guys have committed.
Just think,when larry took that 4 (a couple years ago) and the gaming people did not report it?
Its a crime, and tribal people can do prison time.
When larry took that 4 million out of the casino (sorry)
Why aren't they charged with income tax evasion?..didn't he steal the workers tips?...how does the tribe shut that up?..that makes them partners in crime...hiding income tax evasion is also a crime....has anyone reported it to the IRS...I'm sure there would be a nice reward on something that huge from the IRS.
You people still trying to be re-enrolled? Well forget it, i'm a non-indian just browes around on websites come to this one every now and then, you people have to stop triying, it's gone to far! their never gonna let you in, and I think it has nothing to do with heritige, it' mula (money) we all need it so be honest, well good luck on your never ending battle, try another tribe!
heritige spell check,....ya were gonna listen to you,,,duh just browes ,....dee dee is that you yollie ?
Yollie would do good in prison,she be big bull in charge of the yard.
Select a warm wintertime [URL=http://www.northfacejacketsforsale.net/#1119]links[/URL] that has wool linings during the inner part, covered by gentle cotton. Your Kidorable Rain Jackets are one of kid's most favorite winter wear [URL=http://www.northfacejacketsforsale.net/#1178]north face promo code[/URL] . They have been designed in such a way that this outer part is waterproof and the inner part is full of wool to hold the child hot.
The Wavy Triclimate is something which may be worn to all or any seasons of the season. One customer didn't much like the [URL=http://www.thenorthfaceoutletstores.net/#700]north face sale clearance[/URL] that a liner wouldn't zip on the shell, although the upside may be the design finds more area for activity. She for no reason complained about ice cold, though, and also took this to [URL=http://www.thenorthfaceoutletstores.net/#968]north face clearance[/URL] 1 day when the thermometer dipped below Twelve degrees Fahrenheit.
I grew up on the Rez when, in general, most people were friendly and down to earth. Most people were hardworking folks and helped each other out (for example, when the riverbed would flood over and cut off half of the Rez from food, water, and medical care).
I often think Pechanga would have been better off without gaming. I mean, look how so many of the younger generation have spent the money they have received! Its just gone! Nothing to show after you get 20K gross per month! Sad! Think of what will happen to these members when Per Capita stops for them (nothing good lasts forever). They will start sucking on the teet of the government (welfare).
I still think the tribe should have required youths to gain at least an associates degree or finish an apprenticeship before getting 50% of per capita or something like that!
We screwed this generation of members by spoiling them. I've always thought this was a conspiracy by the government to finally get rid of tribal sovereignty and the Indian people.
So fun when members use their money for meth, weed, and heroin. :(
