They have tried it all,losing cartridges, tearing serial no's off the machines, hiding the machines among the tallied devices,running the cartridges thru multiple times and all these are being caught. Expect a warehouse fire in November.

I'm glad they're getting caught....they are now in the national eye. Since Chad Gore, it's no longer "local" secrets. And, yes, I am definitely expecting something come November. I only pray that those who are watching (hopefully, some who have nothing but credibility on their foreheads), print it.

I'm rather impressed with the performance of these machines. I think they surprised the folks who thought they could get away with tampering.
