The Gardens Casino, a card room that underpins the one-square-mile city of Hawaiian Gardens, has agreed to pay $3.15 million to settle allegations brought by the California attorney general’s office that the casino’s operators made no mention of a federal probe and resultant $2.8-million penalty when applying to renew its license.
In exchange for keeping their licenses, the casino’s owners — Cherna Moskowitz, wife of the card room’s late founder, Irving Moskowitz, and Irving’s son, David — agreed to pay a $3.15-million penalty and complete a two-year compliance period. The state gambling commission approved the settlement Thursday.
The state attorney general’s case hinged on whether the casino was truthful when it applied to renew its state gambling licenses. Becerra’s deputies alleged — and in settling, the owners acknowledged — that the casino had made no mention of the FinCEN probe into long-standing improprieties concerning how cash was being handled and tracked in the card room.The casino agreed to pay the $2.
In applying to renew their licenses, the casino’s operators made no mention of the FinCEN investigation, the issues it exposed or the multimillion penalty that settled it, Becerra’s office said.
