This story came from a gentleman that worked for CJ in Kansas City and later for Bud Jones in LV.
It was verified by another old timer and I compared notes with Howdy. Howdy did some digging on CJ also, maybe more than me.

The main CJ office was in Kansas City. Bill Christy & Bud Jones decided to open a LV office. They hired Pat Sullivan to run it.

Background: Most of the old distributors Mason, BCW, HCE, etc made crooked dice and other rigged gambling devices and openly advertised them. Bud Jones would have nothing to do with crooked gambling devices.

Pat Sullivan with Bill Christy's knowledge started shipping hot dice out of LV office. CJ LV profits soared. I am sure Pat was doing well in other supplies also.

Bill & Bud each owned 50% of CJ. Bill talked Bud into rewarding Sullivan by each one of them giving Pat 1% of CJ.

Pat shipped a package of hot dice for Rip Poulous at Gus Stevens Supper Club in Biloxi, MS, but he addressed it to Gus. Gus did not know Rip had the bad bones in the game. (this part of the story came from Rip himself) Gus did not open the package because the COD amount was way too high for mere dice. He gave the mailman hell and sent it back. The FBI had been watching Rip for years. They tracked the package home to CJ, LV.

The FBI raided CJ, LV and Gus's. Rip picked up his only jail time in 50 years of running games in Biloxi.
BTW, Rip hugged Jayne Mansfied goodby after she appeared at Gus Stevens Supper Club and headed for the airport. Somewhere between Gus's and the airport, she lost her head.

Meanwhile Bud Jones was going balistic in LV. Remember Sullivans reward? 2% of CJ. Bill & Pat now controlled CJ.

My guess is Bill took the CJ H&C to Paul-Son with him after the CJ breakup in 1965. What did Pat do? Looks like he took the CJ H&C also, got himself a London connection, and sold some chips, also.

So Jim, add in the TKS connection and you have another chapter for your book.
