Embezzlements
State and federal law enforcement officials made 43 embezzlement arrests in 1992, the year the first Indian casino opened. In 2007, the most recent year that statistics are available, the number increased to 214. No other state that reported 40 or more embezzlements in 1992 has had a higher percentage increase than
Connecticut. The percentage increase in Connecticut from 1992 to 2007 is nearly
400 percent; nationwide the increase was 38 percent. The FBI and state crime
reports do not indicate how many of the embezzlements were gambling-related, but our research shows that many of those who stole from their employer used either part or all of the money to gamble at the two Indian casinos.
