For the non-french people, they mention videogames to be seized in the operation...
Yup... I recognize that building... it is Alouette. And they mention seizing videoPOKER machines, not videogames. Operating videopoker machines is considered a very serious offense in Quebec (not because they are illegal but it impedes on Loto-Quebec's territory... ). But unfortunately, that isn't even the main offense for the huge bust. Apparently, our buddies at Alouette were trafficking cigarettes across the border... even worse than the videopoker machines... The old-man is fucked.
As for a fire-sale... sure... people will be lining up to buy a half-complete Baywatch...

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.

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....

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:

"Quant au syst�me de fraudes impliquant Me Gilles B. Thibault et d'autres complices, il consistait essentiellement � cr�er des entreprises bidon qui se faisaient financer par les banques des achats fictifs d'appareils de jeu factur�s par Alouette Amusement. Ces pr�ts bancaires �taient garantis � 80% par le gouvernement provincial. "
J'imagine que tout le monde comprends pourquoi ils ne voulaient pas vendre et que les prix changeaient tout le temps maintenant, il n'esseyaient m�me pas d'�tre vendeurs, on les harcelait pratiquement en allant l�...

For a second there, it looks like you pity them...
Oh please... you reap what you sow. But the thing is that this will linger in the courts, and there is a good chance that there will be no jail time.... money can buy good lawyers.
