Iacocca in the middle of tribal dispute involving Barronhaus LTD and BarWest LLC

In a suprise turn of events, apparently Barron Maisel, principal at Palm Desert-based Barronhaus LTD, and a partner of the Los Coyotes Band of Indians, had represented he had entered into talks with Lee Iacocca and Full House Resorts to partner with the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians on a casino resort going forward.

In an email between Dykema attorney Lance Boldrey and representatives for Lee Iacocca it was represented that Maisel was using a picture taken at a dinner in 2004 with Iacocca to prove Iacocca was now involved with Barronhaus LTD and the Los Coyotes Indians.

Attorney's at Dykema Gossett, representing both Full House Resorts and LCB BarWest, LLC confirmed in a telephone call and follow up correspondence that Iacocca and Full House had not entered into any discussions with Barronhaus LTD or the Los Coyotes Band of Indians.
