A kid I went to high school with is part of the group hatching that mess. He was a bully then and he probably is now. He and his girlfriend killed Ted Binion in Las Vegas. They went to prison but were later released on a technicality. Anyway, he’s probably bullying the good people of Butte to get their mind through regulators. SMDH.
