Westen, you presented the MC MOP chips that are supposed to be Cuban and are claimed to come from the Morocco club a few weeks ago. I took the opportunity to discuss the MC in hopes to clarify that those chips did not come from the Morocco Club and could not have. As is common with Cuban chips, the first finder, tries to connect letters on the chip with a Known casino in order to get better value on re-sale. I received 2 letters questioning your integrity. I thought I had been clear. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DID I MEANT THIS WAS ANY OF YOUR DOING, YOU, LIKE 100% OF COLLECTORS WERE SIMPLY CAUGHT UP ON THE ESTABLISHED , ALBEIT ERRONEOUSLY, NAME USED FOR THAT CHIP.

I HAVE KNOWN YOU WELL,I THINK OF YOU AS A FRIEND AND IN NO WAY I QUESTIONED YOUR INTEGRITY.YOU ARE A SERIOUS PERSON WHO HAS IN A VERY SHORT TIME CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO OUR BELOVED HOBBY. I ONLY USED YOU PRESENTATION AS I FELT IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO STOP THE MYTH. I AM SORRY IF IN ANY WAY THESE CREATED ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I BELIEVE TOO MANY OF US KNOW YOU WELL, AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, TO QUESTION YOU IN ANY WAY. AGAIN, MY APOLOGIES AND KEEP THE GOOD JOB.

YOUR FRIEND,

Luis Alvarez
