History
The Las Vegas Sun reported on September 13, 2005, that Griffin Investigations had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in light of legal costs and damages from a successful defamation lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit had been brought by two gamblers, Michael Russo and James Grosjean, claiming they had been improperly detained, labeled as cheaters and arrested, on the basis of information supplied by Griffin. According to the judgement of a jury in Clark County District Court in June 2005, Griffin Investigations was ordered to pay Michael Russo $15,000 and $10,000 to James Grosjean in punitive damages. Each company (Griffin Investigations and Caesars Palace) was ordered to pay Russon and Grosjean the actual damages of $25,000 each.
