Gold Country Casino owners claim fraud, sue former tribal leaders seeking $38 million

BY SAM STANTON OCTOBER 23, 2020

The Indian tribe that runs Gold Country Casino Resort near Oroville filed a fraud and money laundering racketeering lawsuit in Sacramento federal court Thursday, alleging that two of its former top employees skimmed off more than $1 million for personal trips and expenses.

The suit, which seeks more than $38 million in damages, describes a scheme that allegedly ran from 2011 through 2016 and involved a “secret credit card” as well as money laundering from the tribal smoke shop to pay for limousines, concert and fight tickets and trips to Disneyland, Las Vegas and Palm Springs.
