Jim,
To clear something up here......

I said.........

"Dave told Josh & myself a few weeks afterwards at the Hard Rock how he paid a runner to get them when they were released."

That means that Dave paid a runner to get them off of the tables! I should have left the word "released" out of the sentence. That is what he told Josh & myself. Looking back at my post I can see where you would think he paid a runner to pick them up from the cage. It's sad that Rene has caused all this backlash because he decided to try & lock up a release. Now he is sinking fast & losing what little credibility he had left & he is trying to bring others down with him. Just for the record, I have known Dave Harber for almost 6 years now & I have always had VERY good dealings with him. He has helped me with chips I needed in the past & I have done the same for him. There are people here in Las Vegas who deal in chips that you can trust 100%! That list includes people like Dave, George, Josh, Chuck, Ralph & myself. Rene is no longer on that list as far as I am concerned. Andy - Las Vegas
