Silence from the Online Casinos

With the media still in a frenzy over the information covered in the Washington Post articles and the Sixty Minutes program, Tokwiro Enterprises has remained tight lipped through it all. The program and the newspaper article may seem a bit one-sided without the input of the actual company and persons involved in the cheating scandal, but the owner of the company, Joe Norton, a former Grand Chief for the Mohawk tribe, declined to speak to any of the media concerning the situation. The only communication from Tokwiro, the parent company of the two online casino poker sites involved, was a statement sent to all employees of the company warning that media attention about the two scandals was coming and to stick to a list of appropriate ways to respond to questions.

The in depth Post article that covered the two online casino poker cheating scandals gave a lot of information about Norton and his relationship with the tribe. It seems as though there is a history of silence and miscommunication between Norton and those around him. Norton bought the two online poker sites a few years back, yet told no one from the tribe that he owned Tokwiro until more than a year after the deal was finalized. Add to that the fact that during the investigation of the two internet casino poker scandals, Tokwiro released very little specific information and details about the cheat, and appears as though this company is either hiding something, or needs a better PR specialist.

Interestingly enough, although Norton is closely linked to the Mohawk tribe in Canada and is licensed by the KGC, Norton is closed-lipped even with them! The current Grand Chief, Michael Delisle, is one of the few willing to comment on the online casino poker cheating scandals. Delisle commented that Norton had yet to come to Delisle with any information and explanation…and while Delisle hasn’t asked for this information, it seems as though this might be a natural course of action considering the extensive negative media attention focused on Tokwiro, and to an extent, focused on the tribe’s licensing Commission.
