Our recent visit with the LeMoyne gccf office was mostly unproductive, as is often the case. We mentioned that there were some legal questions about the gccf protocol that should be addressed and cleared up, in the name of transparency, and asked to speak with one of the lawyer team. It turns out that the lawyer team is in D.C. for "four or five weeks" of training. We asked to speak with the managers, Tony, Patrick, or John. The were "in a meeting" for an indefinite time. (Perhaps they happened to look out a window and saw me coming.)
We did have a brief meeting with another gentleman. The only answer he had was that, yes, claims processing is set to begin the "first week in February". We haven't heard anything from our Washington contacts since January 7th.
We remain optimistic about positive resolution for "casinos" claims. The third and fourth weeks of February should prove to be most instructive. Many are tired of being abused by the process and are consulting lawyers. We will try to attend an informational meeting on February 1. At this point, consultation may prove instructive, especially regarding possible punitive damages. Hiring is not yet recommended. Resolution, whichever way, should really be not far off. Any legal recourse may be a very long process. Let's see how the Interim Claims process works over the next month, then hire lawyers if we need to.
