I don't know for sure daithi is Johnny. Trav could probably verify daithi's email address.

The auction states, "There is only ONE. Not a box, not 20, not even two. THERE IS ONE!" Now there are 15.

In an email from Johnny I was told, "gaming officer can vouch for it." Interesting contrast to the auction text, "The claim that the Nevada Gaming Control Board has authenticated or researched it is absolutely false and only rumor spread on the chipboard. I have not made this claim and it has not happened."

I think it would be nice if Johnny would share a bit more information with us. Who knows, there could be a reasonable explanation. But I sure couldn't get any specifics when we corresponded by email back in January.
