What is Golden Matrix?
Golden Matrix Group GMGI is a very unique part of the online gambling industry that doesn't get much recognition compared to the actual sports betting companies and casinos, such as Draftkings DKNG or BetMGM. Draftkings for an example is a front-end operator Business to Consumer (B2C), they are what the consumer sees on the app. Where on the other hand, GMGI is the back-end white labeled software platform, Business to Business (B2B). GMGI has everything provided to convert a land based brick and mortar casino to an online casino, including everything from data analytics, games, game management, payment gateways, currencies, languages, 24/7 tech support and more. So what I'm trying to say is Golden Matrix has everything required to setup an online casino or sports betting application. With what's going on in the world today, an online presence is a must. So this is how GMGI and GAN type companies differ from the rest of the online gaming world, as their work is mainly behind the curtains, but are needed in order to run an online casino or sport betting platform.
Seeing Golden Matrix is not a front-end B2C retail casino, they do not have to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions to advertise. As a matter of fact they don't have to pay anything, which in turn keeps the operating expenses nice and low. They make their money by setting up operators at no cost and make their money licensing the front-end casinos, usage, and providing services. It's much more low key, and they don't have to be the bank like all the front end companies such as Draftkings, BetMGM, Bet365, etc...
Continuous Revenue Growth
Here's a brief summary on Golden Matrix's more recent growth. Just since last January (2020) they have grown their operators (Casinos) from 150 to 457 of them today, a 205% Increase, and Registered End Users from 1.5M to 3.9M today, a 160% Increase in the same time frame. Those numbers to me show solid company growth, and the quarterly financials reflected from this growth as Q1 Revenues were $882K, Q2 $1.04M, Q3 $1.49M, and Q4 is expected to exceed $1.7M as quoted by Golden Matrix. Those quarterlies show me that they have grown their revenues by nearly double in the year 2020. I'm expecting these revenues for last year will total approximately $5.1M+ and can do another easy double in 2021 if not more $10.2M+ On top of all this solid core growth GMGI has also been able to maintain profitability for the past nine consecutive quarters, while growing out their top end numbers. The gross profit last quarter (Q3) was 58% and the net income was only roughly $40K. In my opinion this is a good thing considering the competition GAN who trades in the Nasdaq, lost $4.1M during that same third quarter. Profit is profit, which is an complete rarity in this sector. I'm looking forward to seeing the Q4 numbers on or before the March 15th 2021 deadline.
Nasdaq Capital Markets
Golden Matrix filed an application to uplist onto the Nasdaq Capital Markets on August 27th 2020, and are still currently pending approval as it seems to be a very complicated and tedious task jumping all the way from OTC Pink Sheets to Nasdaq. Us GMGI long shareholders have seen many tasks from the company performed over the past 5+ months that come out in 8K filings, such as amending financial reports to Nasdaq formatting, and even creating a audit committee to meet qualifications just as of last week (01-26-21). As for now Golden Matrix is still a hidden gem as much of Wall Street doesn't know about GMGI or can't trade GMGI due to many buying restrictions. I think soon this will change and no longer be hidden with the arrival of up list.
Playtech and Golden Matrix Deals
Playtech and Golden Matrix went began a collaboration agreement around the end of November 2020 that is set to kickoff sometime this month (February). You can find this easily under recent GMGI news right on the company website. What the deal consists of is beneficial to both of them, as Golden Matrix newly designed and built a Esports betting app, Peer2P Betting Games, and a new Artificial Intelligence System (AI-X). Golden Matrix is letting Playtech PTEC.L use and distribute these applications and software exclusively to all of their new and future customers. Playtech is a market leader when it comes to gaming software and technology. Playtech granted non exclusive rights to distribute their most popular games including live dealer games, slots, table games, bingo, and poker to Golden Matrix's 450+ current operators throughout their APAC Region territories. This deal will be very beneficial for Golden Matrix as their foot print will reach the U.S. and European territories through Playtech, who is all over the world, and some states in the U.S. including very popular New Jersey. I expect we may see a significant increase in the top and bottom line growth for Golden Matrix through this significant collaboration deal.
Amelco Sports Betting Distribution Deal
One more recent larger deal was made with Amelco who's out of England U.K. and basically it gives Golden Matrix distribution rights of their premium sports betting software platform where they will offer it throughout their territories in the APAC Region to their 450+ Operators and future ones as well. I think this is a major deal because they will now become a stronger company by providing both Igaming and Sports Betting software vs just having igaming alone. I think this will not only attract more usage from the current 457+ operators and 3.9M end users, but will also have more future operators wanting to do new business with Golden Matrix being a dual distributor of both Igaming and Sports Betting. More customers equals more revenues, which is what we all want to see from any good growing company.
GMGI Obtained a European Gaming License
Golden Matrix recently acquired a Alderney Gaming License in which their CEO Brian Goodman sold to the company though another privately owned company that was holding this license. He sold this license at cost to Golden Matrix. From my understanding there's many benefits to owning this license, and it's not easy to obtain. Playtech their newly partner also holds this same gaming license, along with many other big name casinos. It seems as if GMGI will be expanding from just the APAC Region alone, and now into the European Region as well. Us shareholders didn't receive a lot info on the exact game plan, but it sounds like some expansion into the European Region. I'm looking forward to hearing more about their game plan hopefully in the near future. Europe is the largest gambling market in the whole world, and right under it is the Asia Pacific Region. Let's see what this European Alderney Gaming License has in store for us in the near future.
$5 Million Equity Investment
Just last week Golden Matrix announced they received a $5M equity investment from a strategic Swedish based gaming investor Knutsson Holdings AB. They purchased one million units which consists of 1M restricted shares at $5.00 USD each, and a warrant with a exercise price of $6.00 a share. They only can exercise the warrants once the GMGI share price exceeds $10 a share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. This was all announced when we were trading around $5.50 a share and will only only dilute the outstanding share count from 21.7M shares to 22.7M shares (4.4%) which is minor. This deal brought me that much more confidence in GMGI, because not only did this investment firm valuate the company currently over $5 a share, but they know its worth more as they have been around the block dealing with gaming companies since 1963 (50+ years). They are also the largest shareholder of popular company NETENT who was recently acquired by Evolution Gaming, and are invested in many other gaming companies. Check them out. This deal puts GMGI outstanding shares to 22.7M with a super low share float that's under 12M shares and a low market cap around $116M USD while currently trading in the low $5 a share price range. Ask yourself this one question, if Knutsson Holdings doesn't even get to purchase their other 1M shares for $6M until the price exceeds $10 a share, don't you think they have good confidence GMGI will surpass this price in the near future? I very well believe so, as they have solid growth, and many new business deals into play for this Quarter (Q1) and beyond.
Possible Acquisitions On The Horizon
I personally have very high expectations for Golden Matrix this year including a up list approval onto the Nasdaq Capital Markets Exchange, major new revenue growth from the partnerships mentioned earlier, and of course building their core business stronger then ever. Also if you checkout all the last dozen press releases from the company, the CEO has mentioned several soon to be announced partnerships and possible synergistic acquisitions many times. Now with Golden Matrix sitting on a pile of cash on hand ($10M+) and staying profitable for the past nine consecutive quarters and counting, they could be in a great position to acquire something beneficial for the companies overall top and bottom line growth. I'm keeping my eyes peeled open short term to see what they do on their next move with $10M+ cash, no debt, and being cashflow positive, which is a rarity in this sector as most are bleeding millions of dollars in losses quarter after quarter! I believe with the current $116M Market Cap, 22.7M Outstanding shares, Low <12M share float and the anticipated future growth, this share price around $5.00 is undervalued and a true bargain BUY.
My Position
I hold a long position of GMGI here, and plan to continue holding for the next 3-5 years as the online gambling industry is expected to grow exponentially for quite some time with more and more legalization throughout the U.S. and many other locations. Online gambling will only continue to grow larger and larger yearly. Do some DD on GMGI and you may become a long shareholder like myself.

Part 1 described Kevin and Karen as nightmare neighbours with the payback i was fortunate enough to serve them. I know i described them as a “Kevin and Karen” duo but only mainly mentioned Kevin in Part 1. That was intentional. My interactions with Karen at that point were minor and i wanted to keep the focus on Kevin. However, this entire story is about that one incident where Karen steps up and takes things to another level, and i foolishly take the bait. Someone else in my favorite military sub quoted Mark Twain: “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”.
I also mentioned a conversation i had with someone, where the person described Kevin and Karen as people who maybe likes being the big fish in a small pond, and thus picks on people who are visibly different, just like them. This is because Kevin and Karen are both of African ethnicity. This part will come up later and will play a pivotal part in the story.
Advance Warning: please, please, please keep your politics and any divisive personal biases OUT of my story and this sub. I only mentioned ethnicity and gender because the story itself is focused on that. Im a big girl, i can take care of myself, if you’re a shithead racist/homophobe and cant keep your racist comments to yourself, feel free to shoot me a PM but stick to that and dont litter this sub with your trash. Mods, if this gets out of hand and people start getting rowdy, please include in your options the possibility of deleting my posts. Id rather lose imaginary internet points than be the one that brought a pack of idjits to your doorstep. But please. This is a nice community modded and populated by nice people. Lets keep it that way.
DA STORY
February 1, 2020
Ahhhh. February 2020. Life is good as far as everyone is concerned. Apart from that one time where Kevin tried to call the military cops on me for assaulting a superior (were the same rank, in different chains of command, let alone different branches, and were fighting voluntarily in a sanctioned, supervised match), we had no more complaints filed against us at the HOA office. He had to undergo plastic surgery, but that’s mostly because his pre existing condition of a deviated septum was exacerbated when i TKO’d him by slamming my palm on his nose and breaking it.
The whole world would change in a few weeks, but at this time, Corona was still just another new and exotic thing that doom and gloom tv pundits wouldnt shut up about.
As i mentioned before, i am mixed race: mixture of German/Italian/Scottish/Irish and Hasidic Jew ethnicities on my mum’s side, and a mix of 3 Asian ethnicities: Chinese/Japanese/Korean on my dad’s side with Chinese being the predominant one.
As for visible appearances, im over 5 foot tall, slight build, dark brown hair, and slightly slanted gray coloured eyes. My eyes, lips, and my cheekbones are somewhat Asian, while there’s enough “white” on the rest of my appearance to make someone think twice if im just a really fair skinned Asian, or a white chick squinting and blinded by something.
Why is this important? As a result of my super melting pot heritage, there’s only enough Asian in me that i only look Asian to someone who doesnt know me while im wearing certain outfits, or if i choose to do so. This is a fact pointed out to me that while being a technical minority, i never had to endure the true hardships of what its like to be in a disadvantaged group. I had the safety of benefiting from having the physical appearance derived from a hybrid heritage as a “safe haven” from bigotry.
Until the following happened.
We were at a Chinese cultural centre celebrating Chinese New Year. I went to the event wearing my favorite cheongsam dress. Nothing special about it, you see Chinese women wearing it at formal events all the time, but im in full cultural regalia and had my Asian on. Milena, my partner, couldnt get in while wearing Chinese cultural attire and had to change into a white people outfit despite me giving the Shaolin bouncer, who trained for 30 years in the mountains under a waterfall in the art of “punch-a-hole-in-your-chest-and-rip-your-still-beating-heart-out-making-you-wonder-why-theres-a-sudden-draft-in-your-thoracic-cavity”, the head nod and going: “She’s with me bro. Be cool, ayt?” I jest, i jest.
It was a fun time. Plenty of delicious food and i get to have my fill of real proper and delicious soup dumplings and szchezuan style red snapper. Plenty of little kids going around running to adults and yelling “Kung Hey Fat Choi! (Happy New Year)” and us giving them blessings and the little red money envelopes we brought. We got to see a lion dance. No, there wasnt a single actual lion dancing. Its a bunch of grown up dudes who dance and jump up 5-10 foot tall playforms while wearing and carrying a two person lion costume. Its pretty impressive actually. Go look up lion dance examples on Youtube if you want.
The problem started when we got home.
DA PROBLEM
(Im running out of original ideas for titles)
We were already in our neighbourhood and pretty close to our home. As we were approaching our home, we just barely noticed in time that the road is blocked by a double parked car. Imagine your standard residential street. On both sides of the road are vehicles parked on the street. This normally two lane road is now reduced to a one lane road. On the lane ahead of us was a car that was double parked. The car was off with no lights on either. With it being winter, a snowstorm actively raging + poor street lighting leading to near zero visibility, the roads slick from built up snow, its a miracle i didnt rear end this grayish/silver coloured Fiat. I had already downshifted to the lowest gear, and I had to pump the brakes while my other hand was ready to engage the e-brake, swearing under my breath the whole time.
This is the point where i should have stayed put and just called the neighbourhood towing services while driving around to find alternate routes to get home. But i didnt. My gamble on people being rational ended up being a bust, and you now have this train wreck of a story worthy of a Jerry Springer episode.
I got out of the car and noticed that there was a woman sitting in the driver’s seat. I knocked on her window and politely asked her to move her car so i can pass. She slightly rolls the window down and says: “Just go around me!” I told her this was not possible. My car is a Toyota 4runner, refitted for true off roading, and there’s no way it could squeeze through the gap left by her shitty double parking job without hitting cars on either side. I asked her if she can at least move and give me enough space to squeeze through safely, or better yet, park in one of the open street side parking spots available just a few steps away. In response, she just goes: “i told you, just squeeze through!” and rolls the window back up.
Now, im pissed. I whip out my phone and take a picture of the driver and the license plate. I was intending on calling the towing service and sending a notice to the HOA. This is when i notice that the back of this car doesnt have our neighbourhood stickers. I go up to her window as she was just opening her door to get out.
Bitch: did you just take a fucking picture of me? Did you just fucking take a picture of me?
Me: yeah i did. You dont live here. So youre actually trespassing. And you dont have any expectation of privacy in such an open space. So now youre in the wrong on both counts. Im only going to ask you one last time to move your car, or better yet, get off the subdivision before i call the cops on you for trespassing.
Bitch: (sounds like she was just waiting for me to finish talking) you fucking bitch! Delete👏that👏picture👏now! You fucking monkey!
i was pulling up my camera app to record her public freakout when she swiped at my hands causing my phone to tumble into the snow
Milena has gotten out of the car and was approaching us as soon as our body language changed. She came close just in time to hear this “lady” call me a “fucking monkey.”
Milena: what the fuck did you just call my wife? Dont tell me you actually did cus thats a fucking hate crime!
Bitch: you heard me. I called her a fucking monkey! Fucking monkey! Fucking monkey! Fucking monkey! You fucking people go back to Asia and do your pussy eating there! And take your fucking Corona back with you!
My partner LOSES it. It took me all my strength wearing heels, standing in snow and ice, to restrain her from going after this woman. At the same time, Bitch was also trying to get at Milena so i had to free up one hand to keep her away. Everyone was yelling and screaming at this point. One of our neighbours, Todd, happens to be in his garage. He comes out and investigates what is all the commotion about. Did i mention he’s also of African ethnicity?
As soon as i saw him, i called out:
“Hey! Can you get her (referring to Bitch) off of me?”
Bitch: wait what? Did you just assume he’s my friend because were black? Yo! Hey! Help! Anybody! This fucking (anti asian pejorative word, similar in context to the english words “chink” or “gook”) just called me a n123er!
It was at this point that Todd decided to slap her that caused her to shut up but continue fake crying.
ENTER STAGE LEFT, KEVIN AND KAREN THEMSELVES
They were both talking, demanding whats going on and wrestling Bitch away from Todd at the same time.
[They were both dressed in nice clothes, so im assuming they were headed for a night out with this mystery racist]
Bitch: this asshole (points at me) called me a n123er and then this other fucking dyke (points at Milena) slapped me while this f123ot traitor (points at Todd) held me down!
Karen: what the fuck? Did you fucking call my daughter a n123er?! We dont fucking do that here you fucking monkey! (Nature vs nurture theorists, here’s a case study for you). Fucking go back to China and go fucking spread your diseases there!
Kevin: (walks up to Milena and with hands up and forward, appears to try to shove her but loses his balance in the snow). If you ever hit my child again, or disrespect anyone in my family, i swear to God, I will kill you!!!
Now is my turn to be held back by Todd this time. I dont remember saying these exact words, im only repeating them verbatim based off how Todd repeated them to me.
Me: you’re fucking trying to have a go at my wife?!? I just fucking kicked your ass last Christmas and now you want seconds?! What, are you fucking insane or just fucking stupid? IM not afraid to die! Ive killed pieces of shit who are still better men than you! For work! How many fucking people do you imagine you’ve killed while driving a desk, hmm? You fucking touch my wife or threaten her again and i will kill you for free!! Then ill rip your dick off and beat your wife to death with it! Fuck it, let me go Todd, ill make her (pointing to Bitch) an orphan right now.
cringgggeeeeee
Yeaaahhhhhh. I know. Even I am cringing as i was typing that. I cant believe i said those. Seriously hope that Todd was fucking around with me, but i know i tend to go high order when provoked in just the sweet spot. The words are already said, and once its out in the wind, theres no way for me to make people unhear what i said and stuff the words back in my mouth. 10/10 would NOT recommend doing anything like that. One of the moments im not quite so proud of myself. Its not an excuse, but i only have 2 triggers that i know of: when someone presents themselves as a valid threat to my loved ones, my family, or my troops, either through words or actions, and when i get dehumanized to the point that im not even a person anymore but just another statistic in whatever subset of society that they hate. This messed up family struck Bingo! on both counts. I know its unprofessional and having a temper in the military, let alone as a leader, is a huuuge problem, and i am currently working hard (with good results) to fix that. 😅
While this is happening, Todd’s wife is standing outside their garage and calling the MPs. They tell her they dont deal with “domestic spats” even if its involving military personnel, instead call the civillian cops, and hangs up on her.
Cops come with bells and whistles 30 minutes later. By this time, more people/neighbours had gotten involved and managed to separate both parties. Everyone had calmed down, we were hanging out at Todd’s garage, K&K + crotch goblin went back to their house, and were all just waiting for the cops to come.
Cops split up and go to take both parties’ statements + witness statements. Obviously, this is not gonna be a he said she said scenario. There are plenty of witnesses willing to testify as to what happened and the words said. The problem is that there isnt any witnesses for the beginning of the confrontation. That’s when i remembered that i have a dashcam in the car and i left the car running when i initially got out. I asked for the cops permission for one of them to accompany me. I drove us to my house where i got changed into something warmer, grabbed my laptop, and plugged the dashcam’s SD card in it.
We went back to Todd’s place to play it in front of the other officer and you could clearly see by Bitch’s body language that she was the original belligerent party. Whats more entertaining was that her voice was loud enough to be captured by the camera’s microphone when she yelled the “Go back to Asia you fucking monkey!” line at me. Todd also admitted that he was the one who slapped her but it was more of a “hey wake up!” slap instead of a real one. He demonstrated using me as a dummy, that while holding Bitch around the waist from behind, there’s no way he could have attacked her with a real slap. This was again, supported by the dashcam footage.
The cops left when we told them were not willing to file charges and it would be a waste of tax money for them to pursue a “trivial” domestic disturbance, but i want copies of their write ups and their contact info in case the obvious liars cooks something up.
I immediately regretted that decision the next day i came to work.
DA DAY I CAME BACK TO WORK
Monday. 03 February, 2020. I walk into work and find several messages handed to me by my assistant. In growing urgency, they were all along the lines of: “REPORT TO THE BOSS RIGHT MEOW!”
I had a feeling what this is gonna be about.
I walk up to the boss office, salute, announce myself, seek permission to enter, and stand in front of his desk. Without being told to relax and have a seat and talk to me like an equal, which is customary for personnel at my level, my boss formally informs me that a charge has been filed against me, a trial is most likely going to be held once current investigations are finished, that he has a list of JAG attorneys that can represent me, and that if i have anything to say for myself, now is the time say it.
Quickly but concisely, i laid out the facts as it actually happened to him, even mentioning that i have a copy of the cops’ write up, my dashcam SD card as evidence, and that military police hung up on our neighbour who called them in the first place.
The Boss was nodding throughout this and simply said: “That’s what i thought, im afraid. Unfortunately, id still have to take you off of any leadership positions you’re holding until we clear this up. Take the rest of the week off, but contact this JAG lawyer first before you go and do whatever she tells you to do.”
I did as The Boss told me to. I contacted the JAG lawyer through our secure lines and she simply asked me to write my own version of events and the original SD card from my dashcam and have it couriered to her. I turned over the running of my daycare centre for wild and wanton man whores to my second, and left for home.
I went back to work the next week and i was puzzled as to what happened since i was expecting to perform a hatless dance in front of my peers and subordinates. I never heard anything from the MPs, my boss, or anyone else. When i asked my boss about it the next week, my boss simply told me that it was a “misunderstanding” and they werent actually investigating me.
The following i was not present for but i learned through the grapevine.
-all charges and investigations against me were dropped as soon as they saw what was in the dashcam and in my statement.
-turns out that Kevin is a bit henpecked from what it sounds like as well. Several rumours run that all the complaints filed against me at work, that happened in a personal context/setting, were initiated not by another soldier, but by a civillian closely associated with the soldier. Go connect the dots on that one.
-during this time, anti Asian sentiment was heating up because of Corona virus. There has been several reports of unprovoked attacks on visible (Asian) minorities and the voices of order were having none of it. No sane investigator would prosecute an Asian woman, who it turns out was actually the victim of a hate crime. This is important to mention because for the past several years, the attitude and culture here has been slowly shifting to focus and correct the injustices done to people of African descent. As a result, more and more videos and incidents are emerging of African descent people having public freakouts and getting away with it despite being wrong because they uttered the magic words: “is it because im black?” You make a big and public enough issue centered around being black, and people will back off regardless of whos right or wrong. This is NOT my opinion, but this is the public sentiment. I dont agree with it, as there are still a lot of injustice that needs to be corrected, and you can see the potential for abuse and misuse in ANY example of correction of flawed historical public policy/beliefs but the attitudes of the other side when in the wrong, or the belief that these improvements sweeping the country is an automatic “get out of jail free” card for valid offenses isnt helping either.
-Kevin turns out to have been the star of his own hatless dance party. Once they proved that he was falsely accusing me and Milena of assault and racial attacks, and that him and his kin were the ones throwing racial and homophobic slurs all over the place, he was charged with all the military versions of those offenses + conduct unbecoming and misappropriating public resources (for filing false reports and making false sttements. More on that later). He admitted guilty on all counts in a trial and had to: be suspended from work with no pay for 6 months, pay a fine and hefty pay reduction for 6 months after that, with all records being expunged from his service file on 5 years + 1 day after he has carried out all the punishments.
-it also emerged that Karen was present at his trial and broke down crying and freaking out at his bosses when he was pronounced guilty. She had to be escorted out of the base and driven back home after being dosed with a sedative by a medic.
Karen ended up being the breadwinner for their household for 6 months while Kevin was reduced to earning peanuts. Since her MLM and “fitness lifestyle” influencer job was mainly catering to military spouses, her clientele quickly diminished as soon as word of their misdeeds spread around.
Another result of this Rube Goldberg-esque turn of events was that Kevin it turns out, has been conniving with a local office supplier company and has been taking some pretty creative liberties with his unit’s purse. Policy for public procurement is that everything has to go through a fair and competitive bidding process where service providers and suppliers get a fair shake at hawking their goods and services. With some exceptions, the policies for procurement can be skipped, like say, if theres no other competitor available for that particular product/service, or the need for an item/service is urgent, the bidding process is always followed to the letter.
Being a morale and welfare and procurement officer for his unit, Kevin managed to get himself in a whole another world of trouble by conniving with several suppliers into engaging their services in exchange for some personal “perks”. Kevin’s Unit is hosting a Christmas party and giving away door prizes and holding raffles? He skipped the bidding process and sales/promotions review and went straight to the local electronics store. He goes and buys all the electronic prizes from them, and in exchange gets to walk away with a brand new PS4 Pro and a Home Theatre bluetooth sound bar as a “lucky customer” who won their “random” draw.
Office running low on supplies and may need replacing some office equipment? Kevin goes to a local office supply shop and gives them the business. In exchange, his wife gets to “test” out a brand new high end gaming/office chair and keep the product for “free” after posting a review about it.
He may have turned out to have chosen the better deal, but the fact that he skipped the appropriate procedures and personally benefited from those misdeeds is what got him in real trouble.
Its actually the office supply shop that opened up this can of worms for him. With the wolf of economic disaster created by COVID hungry and at the doorstep, the proprietor of this business phoned his unit and asked if they need any more office supplies or upgrades to their equipment. With Kevin being suspended from work, there was no one to keep a lid on things. His replacement was puzzled and surprised.
“Whaa? Youre not in our system sir. In fact, our system shows that we have always gotten our supplies from X company, the one that won the bid and weve always used. When did you say we ordered from you and for how much?”
I feel pretty comfortable sharing this bit of gossip. Its a pretty open secret by now at our base that some Air Force dude just flushed his career down the toilet and has a pack of investigators and financial detectives waiting till he comes back to work so they can dissect his life and spending, and work it over with a fine toothed comb. And that he just managed to get a slap on the wrist from getting into trouble, and that there’s no way he will simply get another wrist slap from this one.
Right now, all is quiet. There is that one odd time when we saw Kevin disassembling and cleaning what looks like a gun in his backyard. Turns out it was a very realistic looking M4 style air rifle. As a result, both Milena and I have applied for permission from the local representative of the government to carry personal firearms. We dont take well to threats or implications of a threat. Were still awaiting for permission to be granted but believe me when i say we have been upping the intensity of our sparring sessions.
I am hoping it doesnt come down to that, but were ready if it does. In fact, i dont want it to escalate any more. Im sick of it. Personally, i believe it wont come down to that. Ive been in plenty of fights and spent enough time at 2 way ranges. I know what people who trully intend to use a firearm for its lethal purpose look like. They dont go around brandishing a gun and threatening to use it, before actually using it. People who fully intend to use a gun actually go ahead and use it from the get go.
But on the other hand, i wont let intimidation tactics make me cower and unhappy in my own home either. Milena and I love hosting parties. Before COVID shut gatherings down, we just wrapped up a weekend by being the final stop for a small hen party. Everyone had fun in the hot tub and had a safe place to go drink and sleep. Our neighbours have also come to love our summer barbecue shindigs. I can grill a mean steak and my surf and turf platters are just raved about. We both kind of are the unofficial mothers in our respective units. Whenever a new soldier or airman gets posted to our unit, we throw them a welcome party in our home. We continued and brought that tradition to our new home. Right now, im renovating my basement to be a retro style games room with vintage PacMan, PinBall, and other arcade game machines in one corner, a shelf full of board and card games, a full service mini bar, and a computegames room in our library. Were also planning on getting a pre fab shed and repurposing it into an axe throwing shed. We want our home to be a friendly base camp for any weary/homesick soldier, sailor, or airman that we have come to love and treat as our own siblings, or in some cases, children. No amount of intimidation will stop that from happening or take that away from us. Well, COVID probably would if this shite doesnt get any better.
For now, this is the end of the Kevin and Karen saga. Lets hope there isnt any more. Especially since the last time i checked, i was ahead and winning. 😂
PS
Sorry for the late post, i typed Part 1 and Part 2 in one go with the intent of publishing them one after the other. I had to put posting Part 2 on pause because I had to do some fact checking with some people to make sure im not recalling shit improperly.

Welp. Apparently i suck at messing with people. My one and only attempt and i sucked at it. Sorry for the links, its all Rick Astley links. I was trying to call induce a laugh but foiled tremendously because of that stupid ass thumbnail. Im so dumb. Im sorry. I suck. Ill go ahead and send myself to the time out corner.

This is so dumb. Ill just strip the links. Thought it would be funny. Sorry folks. I got Rick Rolled by my own attempts to Rick Roll you guys. 😭

Haven't you tried playing at an online casino for real money yet? We guarantee you that it is an exceptional encounter. All you need is a trustworthy casino that you can deposit and play with while enjoying the experience. From GuiaCasino we show you the best real money casinos of 2020.
What are you waiting for to try them?
We bring you the best online casinos where you can play without having to download the casino program, that is, the best casinos without downloading. So you just have to open your browser and enjoy your favorite casino games.
How to locate the best online casinos for genuine cash?
This is a complex task and that is why from GuiaCasino we offer you a list of what we consider to be the best online casinos with real money for 2020.
Surely now you are wondering how we have made that list, well, very simple, previously we have analyzed a series of basic elements to identify the best casinos.
These are:
License
The first thing to check before opting for a certain online casino is if it has a license that allows it to offer its services as an online casino. If we are in Spain, they must have the license granted by the DGOJ, Directorate General for the Regulation of gambling. In the case of Colombia, this must be granted by Coljuegos, in Mexico by the DGJS and in Argentina this will depend on the province in which you are. In the case of Chile, it is the (SCJ) Superintendency of Gaming Casinos, the body in charge of the operation of the casinos. And if you are in Venezuela, it is the National Commission of Casino, Bingo Rooms and Slot Machines (CNC), which is in charge of legislating physical casinos, but online ones are in a kind of legal vacuum. Therefore, as you can see, the licenses depend on the specific country where you want to play.
Security
Another element that we check is the security of said casino, that is, that they carry out protocols at all times that ensure the protection of user data. That is why all the casinos that we recommend from GuiaCasino have an SSL encryption system, which guarantees both the privacy of your account, the protection of 100% of your banking and personal data.
All these casinos, apart from their security, also demonstrate their transparency through the use of the RGN system, generation of random numbers, which ensures the transparency and randomness of the games that they make available to the user. In addition to having an admitted percentage of RTP, return to the player, that is, it has an indicator that shows that the return to the player is regularized.
They also promote a form of responsible gambling, offering all the necessary help to users who experience gambling problems. In addition, all of them have a seal of "Responsible Gambling", " Safe Gambling " or another of the accreditations that prove this.
Payment methods
One of the most important elements, and of course we cannot forget to check, is the variety of payment methods they offer. Here depending on the country and the real money online casino you want to play in, the payment methods will vary a lot. Of course, there are some payment methods that most online casinos have from experience, these are:
- Credit and charge cards : Visa , Mastercard and Maestro
- Electronic wallets: PayPal , Payoneer, Neteller and Skrill .
- Bank moves , among some others.
Apart from the various forms of payment, another element that we also take into account is the time of both deposit and withdrawal of money. Where it must be said that they are 100% linked both to the selected form of payment, and to the real money online casino in which we are playing.
Real money online casino bonuses
In addition, we cannot forget the games or casino bonuses offered by online casinos with money, with the aim of attracting and retaining users. Here in particular we have to highlight bonuses such as the welcome, the no deposit bonus, the one you receive for bringing a friend, the loyalty bonus, among a great list more. All the real money casinos that we recommend from GuiaCasino, have a wide variety of them.
Do you actually need to know more advantages?
Online casino games for real money
Another of the most important elements is the variety of casino games that they make available to the user to play. As a general rule, these usually have a wide variety of games, among which we highlight:
Traditional card games like online blackjack, online poker, and baccarat.
Other traditional casino games such as online roulette , bingo or keno.
The new range of online slots .
The modalities of live games.
To the latter, it must be emphasized that live games in this type of casino is one of the modalities that is currently being received the most. Since it has all the advantages of face-to-face casinos, plus those of online casinos.
Customer Service
This is one of the basic elements of review, because when a user has problems, what they value the most is good customer service. So this is one of the key items on our checklist and we need to know the information about. Most of the online casinos with money that we recommend from GuiaCasino, have a customer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, via chat, telephone and mail.
Real money online casino software and graphics
Another element to take into account in this type of online casino is its software providers, since these are responsible for the range of online games that each casino has. Some of the most popular are casinos like Microgaming , Merkur Gaming, Playtech, Pragmatic Play and NetEnt.
And we cannot forget the design and graphics of dischos casinos, since they have to be 100% oriented to offer a pleasant user experience. That is to say, make the navigation of these simple and intuitive, always ensuring that they enjoy the experience to the fullest and do not encounter any kind of difficulty.
Advantages of playing in a real money casino
Next, we are going to show you all the advantages of this game mode:
The experience and excitement you experience when betting real money.
The economic benefits you get from playing
The comfort of being able to play wherever and whenever you want
The multiple modalities of payment methods that they offer.
Enjoy its wide gallery of games, both traditional and the latest modalities on the market.
But how can I play for real money?
The procedure is very simple, below, we are going to show you all the steps you must follow to play in these online casinos:
The first and most important thing is to choose the online casino where you want to play
Later you will have to register and create your casino account
Make your first deposit through the selected payment method
Choose the game (s) you want to play at the online casino
And, start playing and enjoy the experience!

Good morning comrades.
Yesterday, there was a bit of a struggle session regarding gun manufacturing, and I have a few minutes this morning, so let's talk about it.
I'm not a lawyer, and despite this matter being a legal topic, this isn't legal advice. This is experienced layman's "don't get your dogs shot" advice.
You need to be aware, the 4 main pieces of legislation in the United States regarding guns are The National Firearms Act (1934), The Gun Control Act (1968), The Firearm Owners Protection Act (misnomer would be an understatement, 1986), and the Assault Weapons Ban (AWB for short, 1994, no longer active).
Enforcement of these regulations falls to the BATFE, also known as the ATF. This stands for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. If I have to tell you what ATF stands for, stop looking into guns.
Hey EtherealHire, how come the FBI deals with everything else re:federal crime, and even sometimes overlaps?
Wow, good question, hypothetical straw-comrade.
Well, for a while, ATF was part of the FBI, in fact, but their founding rests on another set of important pieces of legislation, those being the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. Feel free to take a wiki trip at any point and come back.
Right, so Eliot Ness (oooh, maybe I have your attention now?)... I'll back up. Understand, the only connection that the things the ATF has purview over tie into Prohibition (18/Volstead) and organized crime (bootleggers, Capone, yadda yadda. You definitely know that name, come on). This is why they were founded, and color me shocked, Prohibition ended in Dec 1933, NFA comes out 1934, and harassment of perfectly upstanding citizens like poor old Alphonse continues. The ATF was many things during this period, units within the Treasury Dept, a unit within the FBI, a standalone task force, its own agency, all at various stages in its coalescence into its IRS predecessor to the dept today, which was officially founded in 1972.
So this was a mafia task force agency, and a Prohibition task force agency. If you know anything about US history, it's that you don't fuck with the IRS, you do not fuck with federal firearms law, you absolutely do not fuck with alcohol federal regulations, and you 100% definitely never, ever fuck with the ATF. Ask Vernon Howell.
Right, so not fucking with the ATF, got it. How do I not fuck with the ATF, Ethereal?
Well, you see comrade Straw, you don't engage in stupid shit like certain other subs joke about but don't actually do because they're frequently idiots but they're not that dumb.
Fun games such as: illegal modification of firearms into machine guns, or constructive intent to create an illegal machine gun.
Yes, comrades, you can have a machine gun, if it was manufactured before 1986, or in other edge cases. Go buy a registered auto sear or M16 lower, slap it in your pistol AR build with your full auto Gucci Geissele trigger, go apeshit shouldering the brace. Fuck it, use a stock, stamp SBR (edit: unnecessary), get a suppressor stamp, get a DD stamp and put a grenade launcher on there with real explodey rounds, and you've got boog bingo. Better get in it .300 Blackout or you're a fucking casual. Anyway.
The fabled "third hole" is the hole for the pin that mounts the auto sear. Drill that, you've fucked with the ATF. Don't fuck with the ATF.
Auto sear. Piece of metal shaped like one. Don't own it. Own it, you've fucked with the ATF. Do not fuck with the ATF.
Gun manufacturing, gun dealing, gun modification, gunsmithing.
This is where a lot of people get fucked up. You see, the ATF also tends to self-litigate the meaning of various regulations, which is of course not a fucking problem at all. They've reviewed themselves as federal law enforcement, and found that they are in fact fair and impartial, no need to involve anyone else. Right. No, fuck you, they're the ATF. Are you fucking with the ATF right now?
You are allowed to backyard or garage build a gun. All the guns. Not anything that violates regs, mind you, no machine guns or short barreled shotguns or what have you, none of that, but in general, guns. AR, bolt action rifle, semi auto pistol, whatever. You're good, generally speaking.
When are you not good?
When you engage in gun manufacturing. This is such a fragile line that FFL 01's and 02's fuck it up with alarming frequency. They fuck with the ATF. Even worse, they had a license. You especially do not fuck with the ATF when the ATF has granted you a Federal Firearms License. This is what is called very bad.
Now, in order to engage in the business of gun manufacture, that is making and selling guns and ammo (other than destructive devices and what FOPA defines as armor piercing ammunition), you need a Type 07 FFL. To work with NFA-restricted items such as suppressors, SBS, SBR, etc, you need to add a Class II [Edit: originally read Class III; incorrect, thanks to a comrade for correction] Special Occupation Tax stamp to your license. This is referred to as a Type 07 Class II, usually. Type 07 FFL, Class II SOT. They can deal in, make, sell, modify, whatever, anything with very little exception. They can make fully automatic prototype machine guns, and use them. For demo and test purposes, of course. Can they convincingly prove that? If not, they fucked with the ATF. Do. Not. Fuck. With. The. ATF. When. You. Have. A. Machine. Gun. And. All. Those. Licenses.
So yes, they can take a chunk of metal, turn it into a gun, and sell it to you, if they follow the rules.
But what about 3D printed Glocks and ghost guns and 80% lowers?
Wow, comrade Straw, the astute observer with impeccable timing, you've done it again. It's like you knew.
Yes, you can do that. You can build an 80%, you can print a Glock (frame, you don't actually print a Glock. Mags, some other parts, but not the actual gun).
Here's the catch. In 2015, the ATF said "hey, you can build this shit, sure. But anyone provides the means for you to build this shit, they're engaging in gun manufacturing." This means a company can sell you the tools and the paperweight.
That paperweight is the 80% receiver. You see, regulations define the regulated part of the gun itself to be the frame or receiver, ie without that nothing else works really. You make a receiver without doing regulatory recordkeeping and having a license, it better be yours for personal use, and you better use your own tools. Sell one, you better follow the fucking rules, and you sure as shit best not have made it. Technically, that's allowed, if your intent was personal use and you transfer it through a licensee using the proper channels, etc, but you're going to be investigated for unlicensed gun manufacturer for fucking sure. Constructive intent.
So what does 80% mean? It means approximately 80% finished. It's a proof of concept middle finger to federal regulations. Manufacturers looked the ATF dead in the eyes and played chicken. "If I sell this, would you say that's a violation?" Yes, yes they would. "How about this?" Yes. And so on, until they finally said "fine, that one, the one with no firing control group cuts whatsoever and no holes to mount the firing control group drilled. I guess that one would be considered a paperweight and not a firearm."
That's how it happened. Rapid prototyping and adjudication reviews until they could say "haha I'm not touching you!" to the NFA/GCA/FOPA.
So anyone, licensed or not, can sell an 80% receiver, a jig (the assembly that makes it easier to machine the rest of the receiver), a trim router, and endmills and drill bits. Totally A-OK.
What's not okay is renting, or constructively renting, any of those things to you for the purpose of finishing the build.
So a machine shop cannot let you use their equipment, your buddy can't loan you his jig, you can't do some passthrough coop where you send jigs/bits/anything else to each other and just build 80's.
This is what's called illegal gun manufacturing, and with a coop doing that as a group, that's organized crime. You got an 80% receiver, but you are 100% fucked.
Back in the heyday of the Wild West of CNC and 80% receivers, people had build parties. You'd come by the shop with your 80, the machine shop would show you how to mount it into the Tormach or whatever they had, you'd push the button, they didn't do the manufacturing, you did, just using their space.
The ATF didn't like this, hence the 2015 ruling. So don't do that.
But how would they know? They'd have to prove it!
Well done as always, Straw. You're promoted to E4. Enjoy the mafia.
Well, you see comrade, you buy 80% receivers, yeah? Cool. With what. Your credit card? Online? And you had it shipped to your house? Your PO box under your name?
Anything else with USPS is mail fraud. Use your CC and ship to a fake alias, identity theft. Ain't that a bitch? ATF leans on the supplier or the card company or the carrier, you're done. They know you got one. They have a pretty solid idea that you didn't make it a paperweight. Don't be fucking stupid, you're not clever.
The tragic boating accident.
This is a meme. It refers to the ATF seizing your guns and caching all or some of them away by claiming they went overboard in a tragic boating accident. In case you're a fucking idiot, I'll explain why that is a bad fucking idea.
Firstly, I was a rigger. Reread that please, it starts with an r. This means I worked on sailing vessels, mostly while they were moored or docked, sometimes dry docked, and very occasionally (usually racing) while underway. Yes, comrade, I raced yachts, because riggers are highly sought after crew members for racing yachts. Don't worry, I knew I was the help at all times, bow and sewer rat are not illustrious positions.
What this means is that I've had my share of tragic boating accidents involving metal tools. I'm also not the first dumb motherfucker to lose his hacksaw overboard in the marina.
Guess what? They make drag magnets. A fatty magnet on the end of a rope, you toss it out, you let it sink, you reel it back, you find the tool. Al isn't magnetic, but Ni and Fe are, and your barrel ain't aluminum, comrade.
The ATF is gonna ask you where that accident was. They're gonna sweat you. What caused it? What was the weather like? Why did you have your gun on the boat? If you're a duck hunter or have a carry license, maybe you've got legit words to speak on there. Then they're gonna put you on a skiff with alphabet boys aboard, take you out to the coordinates, and pull out a drag magnet.
Sure, it's on them to prove it, it's on you to not speak or sell it convincingly.
You wanna be out on the open water with feds, alone? How about an interrogation room? You wanna say no?
You're not gonna say no. I mean obviously if you do the answer is no, but you won't. Because of the implication.
There's a reason it's a meme. Neither you nor that boog boi are hardcore enough to openly fuck with federal law enforcement. I've been arrested, I've been fucked with by law enforcement. I've had neither of those happen with feds, but I have been interrogated by feds.
You do not want to claim you lost your weapon(s).
The entire point of being leftists is that in a "boog" scenario, you don't need to take that kind of risk. I have many guns. I intend to have more. Only 1 is a pistol. I can't carry more than 2 or maybe 3 if I'm overland hiking and not actively needing to use one. Here's my spare SKS, my spare AR, spare pump, whatever. Here's some snap caps, let's get you acquainted, here's some live rounds, great you got it, stay low, stay loaded, keep shooting. Let's go. We're probably fucked, let's be fucked together. Thanks for being my comrade.
Don't fuck with the ATF, comrade. It's a bad idea. You wanna build guns for fun? Go nuts, check your state/local laws. You wanna start a company that makes guns for leftists? Go ahead.
Know the laws, and fucking follow them. When in doubt, call a damn lawyer, for fuck's sake.
Looking forward to the memes in the comments.
Edit: a couple minor things. While a manufacturer can pick up a Class III SOT and deal in NFA items, they need a Class II instead in order to also manufacture them. Additionally, if you have a legal machine gun, barrel length is irrelevant, no need to get a stamp for SBR. Big thank you to u/beerglar and u/ClownShoePilot
