The Whistler

Next, Lacy calls on the Florida gaming Commissioner, Eddie Naylor. Naylor explains that because the casinos are on Native American land, the gaming commission has little control over them. The tribe is not required to report their earnings to the state or federal governments, and the gaming commission has no authority to interfere. The idea that a judge and a land developer might be engaged in corrupt dealings with the casinos doesn’t surprise Naylor. Given that casinos have no oversight, nothing prevents profiteering. Naylor asks if the investigation concerns the Tappacola tribe. According to him, rumors about shady characters profiting from land developments around the casino have existed from the beginning.

Lacy and Hugo arrange another meeting with Greg Myers. Myers shows them pictures of McDover meeting with someone who Myers thinks is Vonn Dubose. Apparently, they meet every first Wednesday of the month at one of McDover’s condos by the golf course. They have pictures of her entering and then a man arriving who’s dressed like a golfer and carries a satchel. An hour later, he leaves, carrying the bag, but it’s clearly much lighter than when he arrived. In addition, Myers has detailed reports of the judge’s travel with her girlfriend.
