Vegas backgammon tourney in trouble
New York Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz said promoters of an internationally advertised Las Vegas backgammon tournament do not have the 6.1 million promised in prizes. Prizes depend on hotel bookings as a prerequisite for entry with the December event. Promoters include Great American Travel Corp and World Amateur Backgammon Championships Inc. and Jules J Klar of Phoenix. Lefkowitz called the groups “paper organizations” created by Klar and noted funds are in escrow in New York until at least 1.8 million is available, then may be sent to a Las Vegas bank for prizes.
