Notwithstanding the state\u2019s reservations, Judge Gregory Albert\u2019s ruling gives Sanborn further time to complete the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Albert sparked a discussion about accountability when he gave Sanborn more time to sell his casino. The extension was viewed as a means of keeping up charitable organizations and public schools that receive revenue from casinos. Judge Albert stressed that charity contributions would be able to continue if the casino was reopened under new management, in spite of the state\u2019s concerns. Prior to its shutdown, the casino gave away almost $170,000 to almost thirty charitable organizations in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>The state had suspended Sanborn\u2019s gaming license following allegations that he misused $844,000 in federal COVID-19 relief funds for personal luxury purchases, including expensive sports cars. If Sanborn fails to sell by the September 30 deadline, the casino could lose its license for two years, significantly devaluing the business.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal Proceedings and Buyer Concerns<\/h2>\n<p>Sanborn\u2019s attorneys, Zachary Hafer and Adam Katz, initially requested a direct extension of the deadline. However, Judge Albert stated he lacked the authority to grant one, instead opting to pause his ruling, allowing Sanborn the opportunity to request a rehearing. This pause could extend up to 50 days, depending on further motions, providing Sanborn additional time to secure a sale.<\/p>\n<p>The New Hampshire Lottery Commission is conducting a suitability check on the prospective buyer\u2019s gaming license. While the commission indicated that their background investigation could conclude by the deadline, they made no guarantees. Prospective buyers have expressed hesitation, concerned about the legal issues tied to Sanborn\u2019s past ownership.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
