On March 7, 1997 there was a lawsuit filed in Tampa federal
court alleging that the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team is
owned by persons and businesses with ties to Japanese
organized crime, namely, Yakuza.
Apparently, these rumors have swirled around the team for
the past four years.
Among the allegations are that control of Kokusai Green,
the controlling company is in the hands of one Takashi
Okubo, and that Okubo's involvement was concealed in
the team's earlier days, and also alleged that Okubo
has ties to Shin Kanemura, a Japanese underworld
political "fixer".
Anybody got anything on that?

All I know can be shown by your
acceptance of the facts there shown before you.
Take what I say in a different way
and it's easy to say that this is all confusion.
