Investigation to continue
Casino-brothel plans cut
United Press International
GALVESTON — A Phoenix
lan said he has scrapped plans
9 operate a floating casino-
rothel off the Texas Gulf
toast, but an Arizona prosecu-
>rsaid the state intends to con-
nue its investigation of the
deration.
Walter Plankinton, 54, of
boeuix, had planned to oper-
te a cruise ship catering to
tales and anchor it nine miles
the coast of Galveston. But
^said opposition from Arizona
flkials has forced him to
; j hange his mind.
“It was a good idea and it was
oingto be a fun thing to do, but
don’t need to hassle with every
body in the world just because
they have different moral stan
dards,” Plankinton said Friday.
‘‘We’ve got so many problems
with the state of Arizona,” he
said.
Plankinton said he hopes to
sell the British cruise ship
Shacelton, which he was buying
for his brothel-casino.
“I just want to get my money
back. That’s what they really
want — our money,” Plankinton
said.
Arizona officials have been
investigating the legality of the
proposed floating brothel, but
Plankinton accuses state officials
of overzealous prosecution.
Plankinton, who once owned
the Chicken Ranch brothel in
Nye County, Nev., argues the
cruise ship brothel would have
been legal because it would have
operated outside the jurisdic
tion of both state and federal au
thorities.
He said the female services
aspect of his business proposal
has been blown out of propor
tion, and that he preferred to
call the women he planned to
have employed as masseuses
and hostesses.
Despite Plankinton’s inten
tions to drop the idea, Deputy
Maricopa County Attorney Jim
Keppel said his office would
continue its investigation of
Plankinton’s planned business
venture.

“He’s trying to assert his mor
al standards on the rest of us,”
Keppel said.
Keppel has alleged Plankin
ton and another man formed a
Panamanian corporation that
was selling limited partnerships
to investors, but Plankinton
claims he was the only investor
in the cruise ship operation.
