When I was asked about the Raiders, the first thing I said was that I was not offering any comment on the football situation in Oakland. I then said that you had been consistent with me that keeping Baseball was your "first priority", intending to convey that it was at the top of your crowded agenda. I wanted the press to understand how helpful you have been in the process. I then went out of my way to make clear that you have always expressed a desire to keep both teams (football and baseball) in Oakland. I did not intend to suggest that you favored baseball over football which is why I said I was not commenting on football. Please feel free to share this as you feel necessary. Rob"

SF Bay Area Event Michaan's Auctions Estate Sale 2751 Todd, Alameda, CA #Auctions Rare opportunities in collecting will be presented at Michaan's monthly Estate Sale on Saturday, October 8. Iconic Modernist works and Asian art treasures are featured, as well as fine jewelry and great finds for collectors of Dutch Masters, schoolgirl samplers, 1940s classic comics, cast iron banks, and much more. Groundbreaking pioneers of 20th century art and design --- Josef Albers, Hans Wegner and Eero Saarinen --- are among the creators of the sale's fine art and furniture highlights. Their profound, enduring influence can be seen in the current widespread popularity of Modernist style. Original works by these masters create great excitement at auction in an ever-increasing pool of collectors. Especially noteworthy is the much-loved lounge chair known as Papa Bear, which looks as fresh in today's interiors as it did when Wegner, the preeminent Danish Modern chair designer, introduced it at the midpoint of the 20th century. The Papa Bear armchair's impeccable design pedigree is matched only by its deep comfort; these qualities make it one of the most highly coveted vintage modern furniture pieces. The armchair and its matching ottoman ($7,000-9,000) are upholstered in blue wool and were produced in the 1950's by A.P. Stolen; the manufacturer's round metal control tag is intact. Another Modern highlight of October's auction is a signature work by renowned colorist Albers. His silkscreen, "Hommage to the Square: I-Sb," (lot 269, $1,500-2,000) came to Michaan's from the collection of a former General Counsel, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also offered in the October 8th sale is Rembrandt's "Christ Driving the Moneychangers from the Temple,"a drypoint etching produced posthumously (lot 291, $2,000-3,000). The 17th century plate was preceded by the artist's well- known oil painting of the same subject, and Rembrandt's peerless mastery of light and shadow remains undiminished in the transition to ink on paper. The allegorical power of the scene depicted is enhanced by layer upon layer of chaotic, earthy detail. There is panic even in the eyes of the market animals, as man and beast scramble to flee Christ's rage. The work perfectly captures the Dutch Master's gift for finding divine inspiration in the fine details of daily life. Works of museum caliber also appear in the October sale of Asian Art. Specialist Harry Huang will offer an exquisite Japanese cloisonné vase by Hattori Tadasaburo, the esteemed enamelist whose pieces are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Hermitage. The vase (lot 199, $500-700) is decorated with naturalistic poppies sprawling almost playfully across a brilliant blue ground. It exemplifies the artistic energy of the Meiji period, when Japanese artisans confronted Western influences, resulting in a spirited tension that shaped some of Japan's most avidly collected works of art. "Michaan's will continue to serve the market's healthy appetite for high-quality collectible Asian objects through the end of 2016 and beyond," says Huang, "building on the momentum generated by our sales this year." As always, objects of desire are plentiful in Michaan's jewelry department. "It's hard to find a more resilient trend in fine jewelry than jadeite jade accented by diamonds," notes Michaan's gemologist Elise Coronado. The October auction includes these highly prized gemstones together in a navette-shaped ring of green jade, completed by diamonds set in 18k white gold. Another highlight is the agate, turquoise and 14k gold figa --- a carved amulet in the shape of a fist --- traditionally a protective charm, now in vogue worn as a pendant necklace. An excellent Zuni jewelry suite of silver and turquoise will also attract collectors with its timeless beauty and spiritual resonance. Fine jewelry will be complemented at the October auction by an extensive collection of romantic Art Nouveau jewelry boxes. The cast metal boxes vary in size and shape, but all showcase the sensuous decoration characteristic of the Art Nouveau period. The collection is divided into more than twenty lots of flora and fauna, fair ladies and winsome cherubs, miniature bombe chests and beloved American landmarks. All are highly detailed, with gilt, bronze, silver or copper finishes. The illustrated auction catalog will be posted online, when available, at www.michaans.com. Property offered in the October 8 Estate Sale can be previewed in the gallery on the previous Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2; on Friday, October 7; and on the day of the sale. For general information please call (510) 740-0220 ext. 0 or e-mail info@michaans.com. Michaan s Auctions is located at 2751 Todd Street, Alameda, CA 94501. eet, Alameda, CA 94501.

Las Vegas Oakland Raiders NFL Stadium Legislation Has Fiscal Mistake That Hurts Clark County In its rush to approve a poltically-motivated recommendation for a $750 million subsidy for Las Vegas Sands and for an NFL-ready stadium ostensibly for the Oakland Raiders, The Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee, lacking a second opinion on the design of the proposed public subsidy, and whether it would actually work, allowed itself to be intellectually bullied into accepting a plan that has no real written protection for Clark County, Nevada. The fiscal plan was formed to create an argument that a $750 million subsidy was doable, even if the fact was that it's too high by $200 million. In municipal bond finance, there is a term called “the debt coverage ratio”. That means the amount of money that, in this case, a tax, is projected to take in, over and above the annual bond payments plus interest required to pay for it over time, in this case 33 years. Ideally, you want twice the revenue to come in annually over the cost of the annual bond payments, or that's called “annual the debt service”. In fact, municipal bond finance calls for a debt coverage ratio of 2. I've written and vlogged about this before, but it bears repeating because the basic problem still exists, and now the Nevada Legislature is being asked to approve it by Governor Sandoval. The $750 million bond issue is based on a debt coverage ratio not of 2, but of 1.5. In other words, they would be allowed to take in less money over and above the annual the debt service – a riskier bond issue. So why do 1.5 and not 2? Well, $750 million times 1.5 is $1.125 billion - $750 million times 2 is $1.5 billion. So in order to justify the $750 million you only need $1.125 billion and not the additional $375 million, which would get us to $1.5 billion. When I first raised this issue, the original $750 million bond plan was to be for what's called a “revenue bond” - that means the bond is based on the projected revenue stream from the tax increase. But when the SNTIC elected official started to ask questions about the debt coverage ratio, the bond plan was changed so that it is a general obligation bond. The definition of a general obligation bond, according to the Municipal Securities Rule Making Board is this: “Typically refers to a bond issued by a state or local government that is payable from general funds of the issuer, Most general obligation bonds are said to entail the full faith and credit (and in many cases the taxing power) of the issuer - Clark County. By contrast, a revenue bond is a type of bond issued by a state or local government, but is based on a specific source of revenue, like a hotel tax, in this case, or the sale of personal seat license's in the case of the first Raiders Deal that upgraded the Oakland Coliseum and paved the way for the Raiders to return to Oakland from Los Angeles. In the case of the first Raiders Deal, the protection against bond default in case less than the required level of $83 million in personal seat licenses were sold were the general funds of the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda – only $56 million were sold. The deal didn't work, and the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda are into their 20th year of $20 million in annual payments from their general funds. The Las Vegas Raiders Deal is written in such a way that it dips directly into the Clark County General Fund, and while the stadium authority is used as the collector of tax money from the hotel tax, there's no language that specifically says that no part of the Clark County general fund can be used in place of, or in addition to the tax revenue that's collected by the stadium authority. There is no language that specifically defines where the Clark County general fund is in the deal – it's not there. Yet, the legislation calls for a general obligation bond, but it's based ostensibly based on a single-source of revenue, the hotel tax increase. Right? So if the Clark County's floating the general obligation bond, where is the language that it collects the tax revenue from the stadium authority? It's not there – the stadium authority is the collector of the money. Normally under a general obligation bond, Clark County itself would collect the tax revenue, and not the stadium authority. What this should have been is the County collecting the tax increase revenue, and then giving to the the stadium authority the amount needed for the bond debt service. It's like someone at the SNTIC didn't want Clark County to have clear control over the flow of funds, but then forgot that its being asked to issue a general obligation bond! This is all messed up. You can't guess at the correct answer and say “Well, they intended this” – it's supposed to be written in the legislation. It's not there.

Oakland Raiders New NFL Stadium Update: On Las Vegas Sands Gamblers, Shills, And Money-Laundering Las Vegas Sands, the casino partner in the Oakland Raiders effort to receive approvals to build a stadium in Las Vegas, is the focus of a blockbuster Reuters article released today, Friday, September 30th. The article, called “Shill Game” and written by By Joel Schectman and Koh Gui Qing, not only details exactly how Las Vegas Sands' hotels The Venetian and The Palazzo provide an environment for high-rolling Chinese gamblers to pass money without a paper trail, but also describes the work of “shills”. “Shills” are women who, with the cooperation of Las Vegas Sands employees, are allowed to take out millions of dollars in casino credit in their names and then give the chips to the real gamblers they work for. This allows the real bettors to gamble at the hotels without detection. In exchange, the shills are allowed to keep a percentage of the casino money they are loaned. The Reuters reporters report reads: “The attorneys for the women, Jeffrey Setness of the law firm Fabian VanCott and Kevin Rosenberg of Lowenstein & Weatherwax LLP, contend the Sands may have violated federal anti-money laundering rules prohibiting casinos from helping players keep their names off the books.” This marks the newest, and most detailed account, of allegations of money-laundering at Las Vegas Sands casinos. While the Reuters report names some of the actual gamblers, it does not explain exactly what their businesses do. But its well known that one high-rolling gambler, Zhenli Ye Gon, was said to be an alleged drug trafficker who lost $84 million at The Venetian. Las Vegas Sands settled that case for $47 million in 2013. Moreover, the investigation, case, and settlement came after the discovery of $207 million in cash in his home during a raid. Las Vegas Sands said that it should have recognized Zhenli Ye Gon's gambling activities, but the truth is other bettors are still using the same shill-based activity Gon benefitted from. Las Vegas Sands has not stopped it, and given the estimated $1.3 billion baccarat, the high-roller game of choice, has generated in Las Vegas over the past 10 years, it's not likely to try and stop it anytime soon, absent draconian legal and government action. What does all of this have to do with the Raiders quest for a Las Vegas NFL stadium? Everything. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is on record saying that he's trying to “wrap” his head around the idea of a the NFL in a city ran by the casino industry. That's a kind way of saying he's concerned about the very scenario the Reuters story reveals. And given the revelation, it's appropriate to ask this question: Given that Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of Las Vegas Sands, made the majority of his $29 billion in Macao gaming, and via Chinese high-rollers like Zhenli Ye Gon, and given that the practice of hiding the identify of these same gamblers is still active in Las Vegas Sands hotel casinos, how much of that alleged laundered money has been used in the Raiders stadium planning to date? We have a situation where, because of the Oakland Raiders association with Las Vegas Sands, a favorable decision to build a stadium in Sin City could place the NFL in the legal crosshairs of the Federal Government in the future – perhaps sooner rather than later.
