Description
[141 A.D.2d 272 Page 273] Opinion OF THE COURT Recovery Consultants, Inc., as assignee of the Sands Hotel, seeks the recovery of $1,000,000 and accrued
interest from March 1982 against Marilan Shih-Hsieh and her son, Nelson, who were guests of the hotel at the time the alleged
debt was incurred. The original complaint alleged a single cause of action against Marilan, based on 20 checks drawn by her,
each in the amount of $50,000, totaling $1,000,000, payable to the Sands Hotel. A second cause of action was asserted against
Nelson, based on his execution of a $1,000,000 check, also payable to the Sands Hotel. Their pro se answer alleged that "[the]
cheques (markers) were for the sole purpose of gambling" and that "[gambling] debts are unenforceable in the State of New
York and in the State of Nevada." The answer also asserted that Nelson was "not [a] principal" in the transaction.
