Lawsuit Regarding the Unrealized Las Vegas NBA Arena Dismissed on Basis of Procedural Error
The ongoing RICO lawsuit against Jackie Robinson's All Net Land Development LLC and the NBA All Net Resort and Arena is facing potential dismissal, as the case has failed to gain traction and was dismissed on a key technicality.
The lawsuit, filed by Kent Limson and TACSIS APC last December, alleges that Robinson and his affiliates solicited loans without the intention to complete the project and that commitments like surety bonds were either forged or nonexistent. However, the court ruled that the plaintiffs knew about these alleged failures by 2020, starting the four-year statute of limitations for a RICO claim. As a result, the claims filed in late 2024 were time-barred.
Despite this setback, Judge Gordon has granted the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint by September 2, 2025, if they can plead additional facts to support a RICO claim within the limitation period. However, the judge warned that revival of the case is almost impossible due to this statute of limitations issue.
The lawsuit stems from seven short-term loans issued by Limson and TACSIS APC to All Net in 2018 and 2019. The plaintiffs argue that they didn't discover the fraudulent surety bonds until during the trial's discovery process. It was during this discovery that the loss of Limson's ownership interest in the project occurred when the Clark County Commission shuttered the project in November 2023.
Interestingly, the plaintiffs filed a similar lawsuit in LA Superior Court in November 2020, claiming that Robinson collected investments and loans to build the NBA All Net Resort and Arena, which he knew would never materialize.
The recent dismissal of a $6.4 million RICO lawsuit against a failed Las Vegas basketball arena and luxury resort on August 4, 2025, serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in such cases. Judge Gordon was not convinced by the plaintiffs' arguments, but left the door open to new evidence that could change his mind.
As the deadline for the plaintiffs to file under the RICO Act approaches, they face a significant challenge in reviving the case. If they are unable to amend their complaint successfully, the RICO lawsuit against Jackie Robinson's All Net Land Development LLC and the NBA All Net Resort and Arena may effectively be dismissed.
