The National Indian Gaming Commission issued a "letter of regret" to an Oklahoman attorney who used to do work for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
The letter said an audit of tribal gaming revenues that mentioned Rick Grellner was not meant to indicate any wrongdoing by the attorney. The audit indicated Grellner had been paid by the tribe under a contract that had not been approved by a tribal leader.
"The inclusion of Mr. Grellner's name in the audit report is in no way a finding of wrongdoing on his part," Penny Coleman, the NIGC's acting general counsel, said in a press release. "We deeply regret that the report has been misconstrued by certain third parties and may have damaged Mr. Grellner's reputation."
