The Real Steve Adkins

Steve Adkins Like most everyone else, I knew Steve Adkins as Steve Adkins. I had numerous phone conversations him concerning my work with Casino Gazette and as you have read here, I knew him well in our forum. I also developed his website for his food foundation that was located in Cincinatti. Little did I know, Steve was not Steve. His real name was Samual Ashley, and he was arrested in the Spring of 2002 for ripping off his food bank for over a $1,000,000 dollars. But the food bank wasn't the only one he ripped off.

Before he vanished, I received a phone call from him stating that the IRS was coming down hard on him. He told me that he made a few big wins at some online casinos, and he put that money into his food bank as a donation. He thought that was legit, but the IRS was accussing him of money landering. He wanted to sell me his half of Casinogazette, and the OPA. I didn't want the OPA, but I was interested in Casinogazette. I wanted a radio show and I had fantastic ideas on what to do with the webcasts at Casinogazette and all. But he gave me the OPA anyway, I had control of the website, domains, etc. And then he vanished as quickly as he appeared.

When the OPA was resurected, I found out that Steve Adkins had screwed over a number of casinos by selling them a "Casino of the Year" award, and promised them radio spots on Casinogazette and hard copy ads in Gambling Online Magazine. I was disgusted and I felt betrayed. Mike Craig and I did our best to fulfill any advertising agreements, and even paid some casinos back out of our pockets.

We searched for Adkins online, and even had someone visit his residence to dig up whatever happened to him with only a few clues. It seemed as though he really vanished. And it wasn't until this last summer that things began to unfold here. Was I surprised? Not really. But I was pissed, and I still am. He betrayed the trust of his friends, his associates, and even his wife. All for the love of the dollar. So, Steve is sitting in jail. How ironic, that all these times when we heard him accuse a casino manager of lying, he was the one who was the crook. I wonder if he has an Internet connection in prison? It would be interesting to hear what he has to say for himself. More here.
