I wish them well - I saw at the deal signing one of the tribal elders saying this was a deal done to secure future for its aging population - they may well have done better letting Warren Buffet do the investing for them - I just have sad feeling they are going to get hurt on this one. I recall seeing something about a similar (smaller scale) deal that blew up with the native indians in New Mexico a while back.
