The tactic of using tribal immunity as a shield against lawsuits is a wildly fucked up business model. Some payday loan companies hide on the reservation while engaging in predatory lending, casino giants like Harrah’s “operate” casinos on behalf of tribes, etc.
I get why tribes might be tempted to take the check from these businesses, but it’s a sham that hurts consumers and only benefits the tribes with pennies on the dollar.
