eBay $1 first issue Dupont Plaza, San Juan, PR

I am currently running an auction for this first issue chip (DPL-1): $1 Dupont Plaza, San Juan, Puerto Rico (1978 - December 31, 1986). It closed due to the infamous New Year's Eve fire that was started by three disgruntled employees of the hotel that were in the middle of a labor dispute with the owners of the hotel. The fire claimed 97 lives and caused 147 injuries. 97 people died in less than 12 minutes.... ....This is considered to be the most catastrophic hotel fire in Puerto Rican history. ... ..... Of the three employees accused of the fire, only one, Héctor Escudero Aponte, is still in prison. Armando Jimenez and José Francisco Rivera Lopez were released from federal prison in 2001 and 2002 respectively." Nice going. (from Wikipedia)
