The Paradise Casino (Hoss Limited Inc.) who closed shop last December has recently settled with the IRS and have agreed to pay an extraordinary $11.4 million dollars in back taxes, interest and penalties. Hoss Limited partners, Marc Meghrouni, of Balboa, CA., and Scott D. Shaver, of Garden Grove, CA, pled guilty to charges of impairing the work of the Internal Revenue Service and violating the Wire Wager Act. The fine was confirmed by John Edens (a.k.a. Johnny DeMarco) that his business associate, Marc Meghrouni (a.k.a. Jack Price), a “silent partner” of the Paradise, opened up their books to the IRS and agreed to the fine to avoid possible imprisonment said to be a possible 5 to 15 years. Some of the fine will consist of property. U.S. Attorney Audrey Fleissig said Meghrouni and Shaver will forfeit a beachfront condo in Orange County, CA., valued at more than $1 million; an office building in Irvine, CA., worth more than $2 million; and a 1995 Lamborghini Diablo, valued at $250,000. Jack Price was the subject of a series of “scamdicapper” articles in the Los Angeles Times in December of 1997 and Sports Illustrated in 1998
Mr. Edens, while claiming limited involvement (“marketing”) with the Paradise claims that he knows Mr. Meghrouni was not involved with the direct management of the Paradise. Furthermore, he saw no “conflict of interest” in selling sports betting advice under “Jack Price” while accepting sports bets under his “silent partnership” with Paradise Casino. Mr. Edens stated the owners agreed to the fine to avoid imprisonment and other possible pending charges, including alleged RICO violations.
Mr. Edens went on to state that, “They did it with class. Everybody was paid every single cent they were owed. Every customer, every vendor” that he saw no problem that an “offshore” operation opened up their books to the IRS that included specific individual U.S. bettor information justifying it as, “anytime you play offshore your own personal information is not a secret”
Per Mr. Edens, the Paradise Casino problems began when Antigua was struck by back-to-back hurricanes in 1995. The storms caused Western Union offices to close in Antigua, and allegedly customer Western Union deposits were cashed in the domestic U.S. However Mr. Edens did claim that “every bet taken by the “PC” was taken in either Antigua or Curacao.”
