Concorde Casino, owned by former state Senator Andy Sanborn, who is accused of using fraudulently secured funds with COVID-19 relief credit to buy luxury cars, will officially close on Jan. 1 next year. However, according to a decision released to the public by the New Hampshire Lottery Board on Dec. 28, it can reopen in six months if it is officially sold to a new individual or new owner.

A former senator is not eligible to participate in the state's charity game business model:

In August, the committee officially attempted to revoke the senator's gaming permission. However, he opposed the decision and requested a hearing in front of an independent investigator. Also, the aforementioned hearings were held before December, and the final decision was officially announced on December 27.

In this regard, the former senator is a Republican from Bedford who said that his aforementioned casino is located within Concorde's sports bar and grill draft range. He wants to open a much larger charity game property just a few miles away.

Nevertheless, the committee insisted that his existing game operator's license be revoked. His main reasons were that he unfairly secured federal funds, made false statements about how he spent the funds, did not leave an accurate record overall, and paid large rents himself.

Survey:

The investigation found that Sanborn fraudulently secured $844.000 in funding from the Small Business Administration between December 2021 and February 2022. Because the charity game properties and casinos were not suitable for those credits, Sanborn removed the name of his facility (Concord Casino) from the application and cited his major business activities as "other services," officials said.

He is accused of paying $80,000 for a Ferrari for his spouse and $181,000 for two Porsche racers for him. He also paid more than $183,000 for rent for his Concorde facility, according to investigators. 안전한 파워볼사이트

In response to his decision, Michael King, the aforementioned hearing investigator, said it was not within his jurisdiction to determine whether the credit application was dishonest. However, he also said that filling out the application with "apparent false and/or misleading information" was sufficient to officially revoke the license because such actions "damage the public's confidence in a charitable game." In addition, he dismissed Zen's claim that the aforementioned cars were not purchased with credit, saying there is a "straight line" from getting credit to buying a car. He then pointed out that all three cars were made in the United States, which broke credit terms.

According to AP News, the revocation was not appropriate because others who held the license were given the opportunity to officially sell their business before the revocation and suspension.

Absence of the hearing:

The former senator did not appear at the hearing due to an appointment, and did not immediately respond to requests for comment. His lawyer also claimed the incident occurred statewide due to poor investigations and unsubstantiated claims about COVID-19 relief credit.

When the allegations emerged in August, federal authorities informed them, and the state officially launched a criminal investigation, officials said.
