attributable to the Castaways? Even the $500's that Andy recalls seeing in-use (regardless of whether or not they were Sports Book or house $500's)?

And since I don't have any $500 chips from the Castaways (or any of the chips on your list of counterfeits), it seems that to me that I am only seeking the facts.

I have no motivation to make the chips real or otherwise.

Again, your comment implies that there were no $500 chips in-use at the Castaways. Is that the message?

Of course, if thats the point, then did the fakes materialize as a method to skim (actually, just flat out remove) large sums of cash, I ask retorically?

I guess anything is possible!
