Now you can read the article.

Thanks for the link.  I saw this back when it came out.  Really sad, and exploitative of both artist and buyers, imho.

With bingo at least the people know they can lose out, same as the casino. With PW, they often make it sound like people are getting something better than what they actually are. 

No, they don’t. If they did, both gambling addiction and the massive casinos won’t exist. Make all the excuses you want, but the cruise lines make a LOT more money on the casino and bingo. Because people *think* they can win.

Pretty old news. But IMHO, the Thomas Kindades are far worse. He’s been dead for 12 years, but his studio is still putting out stuff- with “heart wrenching” Disney themes and characters. Pretty disgusting that Disney would scam a dead artist like they do.
