v.

Anonymous, Author

 ________________________________________________________________________

Complainant Griffin Holding LLC/Egal Gabbay (the “Complainant”) has challenged the truthfulness of certain specific statements (each, a “Statement”) posted by Author Anonymous (the “Author”) on the Ripoff Report website at www.ripoffreport.com as Ripoff  Report #797311 (the “Report”). The Author accused the Complainant of not paying him for services he provided. The Complainant denied all such allegations. The Author did submit a response to the Complainant and in that response he withdrew several of the Statement and acknowledged that the Complainant was not responsible for the fact that he was not paid for his work. Therefore, in accordance with the Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration Rules (the “Rules) and by submitting a Report and a Complaint on the Ripoff Report websites, both the Complainant and the Author have agreed to submit the dispute to the Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration Program.

In accordance with the Rules, the Arbitrator was asked to decide whether the challenged Statements were an opinion or a fact. If, and only if, the Statement was determined to be a statement of fact, the Arbitrator was asked to further decided if, by a preponderance of the evidence, to determine if the Statement was true or false. If the statement identified by the Complainant is determined to be an opinion, no determination will be made as to that particular Statement because an opinion cannot be determined to be true nor false.

In this case, the Arbitrator had only the evidence submitted by the Complainant to consider. The evidence submitted included Ripoff Report #797311, Complainant’s Arbitration Statement, Complainant’s Witness Statements (2), supporting records and letters, and the Author’s Arbitration Statement.

Each Statement challenged by the Complainant has been considered, together with any Witness Statements and Documents provided by the Complainant for determination of the truth or falsity of the Statement. The Author did provide a response to the Complaint.

The Arbitrator determined that the certain statements challenged in the Report were false. Therefore, according to the VIP Arbitration Rules, those statements have been redacted.

Decided November 25, 2013

((Statement REDACTED as false pursuant to Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration)). As a vendor on one of his ships, I worked 15 long hours a day for 3 months with a contract stating that I would be paid. After the 3 months, The ship vanished with all my belongings aboard, I was not paid, and now i can say (((Statement REDACTED as false pursuant to Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration))) the casino was completely fixed, machines fixed, dealers paid off to cheat ( I have contact with a dealer who will admit)

There were constant fights on board of guests whom were cheated by the Pit Boss Mike Kaminsky who did not have a license to deal cards, but enjoyed doing it anyway resulting in mixed deals where consulations for less were paid, which resulted in verbal and sometimes physical confrontations. Many guests from the town of Freeport NY, and surrounding areas complained about various problems that they felt cheated. Some of the scams associated were ads on Groupon right before they left the area ( I know several people that lived in the area whom lost $ on it) I went to take my equipment off the boat and they told me it was sold along with the contents of the ship.

Griffin Holdings told all the local newspapers that it was a temporary change of "Ownership" which was another lie. The LIRR ( Long Island Railroad) MTA in New York was involved in a joint venture to shuttle workers and guests to the area, but backed out after finding out there were complaints of cheating and unfair practices involved on the ship. All these allegations are true and you can google whatever you like to find the facts. Alot of upset folks in my town waiting to take their punches if he ever shows his face again!
