How can the gambling commission drive Michael from the casino industry when he does not have any interests or control over gambling, his non-existent casino holdings

As I posted a while back, the Gaming Commission could have launched an investigation of Michael at any time, for any reason--especially if he'd taken the Fifth Amendment when asked any of those questions; or if Pentangeli had testified as planned.
