They say:
The American Legion for 3 months income by 2 Mexican guys.
Crime page, I think.

Sounds like an intriguing story, but it's SO frustrating reading these comments. Can SOMEONE post a link or explain wtf this allegation actually is?! Inquiring minds and all that!

(Um, also, doesn't this belong in the "Local Rumors and Criminal Activity" section?)

According to crime page, two Mexican men went in the Legion where guys are playing poker and said they were shutting down the game. They said they were the police and the Legion owed 26,000 pesos for three months profit from the poker operation. They left and came back with two official papers in Spanish. They demanded they be paid right then and there. The Legion paid. When people tried to take photos of the guys they hid their faces.

I'm asking around, and it turns out betting of any kind with money is illegal in Mexico. So what was this poker game all about? It appears to have been running a long time, and wasn't just a friendly game of cards... .
I'm also hearing this was not a shakedown, per se.

There are a lot of weekly games at the local bars. I have played on Sundays at one bar and Thursdays at another here in Ajijic. $500 peso buy ins with no limits on bets. No cut to the house at either.
