FARGO — In a recent ruling, a federal bankruptcy judge said an agreement between a Las Vegas gambler and the Office of North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem seems to violate state law.
The ruling by Judge Thad Collins also called a nearly two-decades-long case in North Dakota an example of a "runaway process that must stop."
Collins, chief bankruptcy judge for the Northern District of Iowa, issued his ruling on April 23 as part of a civil case that harks back to 2004, when Racing Services Inc. (RSI), an off-track horse race wagering company in Fargo, filed for bankruptcy.
