The vultures are circling ... .... where do I sign up ? Steph
Wow! If they seize the assets we are talking a HUGE auction. I was there last year or so and they have another warehouse full of crap....everything from pinballs (all import and full of dirt), videos, those coin games, redemption games....it's mind boggling the crap they have.

I am just curious did anybody know they did this? Could it be employee or owner? Not sure never really did deallings with them i normally hung up phone after a ridiculous quote.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

You can stop dreaming.. These things take years to sort out through the courts... And IF they get convicted and assets get sold off, it'll most likely be very large lots, just like Crown Assets does for the federal govt.. It takes time and money to sell of these things individually - and not all will sell that way. They lump things in big lots so it's more manageable.

I just saw this on the news this evening and couldn't believe my eyes!! I saw Mr. O'Reilly and his wife in handcuffs. Gee, you figure that at 70+ years old, you would enjoy your life in the sun somewhere instead of deal with stupidity.
I am a guy who has been at Alouette for over 30 times (1-2 hours each time) and got used to, what I thought, was some motivating conversation from two smart business people.
And we all thought that they were making money from the Amusement/arcade (legal) business....
I feel bad for the employees that might have to lose their jobs now as I am sure that Alouette will be investigated further....
Vids: Crystal Castles, Gauntlet/Gauntlet II, Donkey Kong Jr., Ms. Pac-Man, Vs. Super Mario Bros. (other Vids in storage - for now) Pins:White Water [WH2O]
And we all thought that they were making money from the Amusement/arcade (legal) business....
Were is the key word here. O'Reilly said it himself to me that the amusement business was nothing compared to what it used to be. So his connections were put to other use...
And what makes people in their 70s do such stupid things? Easy... the TZ pin said it best:
