          year to P&R to use the Center for its bingo games held 2 nights             
          per week.  Petitioner lost its lease for the Center in 1985.                
               During 1985 and 1986 Cleveland Commercial Investment Co.               
          (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Cleveland Commercial) owned           
          the Elyria Hall.  Cleveland Commercial leased the Elyria Hall to            
          Lanza at a rental of $26,000 per year, and Lanza subleased the              
          Elyria Hall to petitioner for 2 nights per week for bingo games             
          at a rental of $26,000 per year, $250 per session.  Glen Snow was           
          president of Tenth Ohio when petitioner was sublessee of the                
          Center, and was president of Cleveland Commercial when petitioner           
          was sublessee of the Elyria Hall.                                           
               Popovic and Zeve prepared all of petitioner’s daily yellow             
          bingo sheets, which were required by Ohio law.  The daily yellow            
          sheets are designed to show the amounts received from various               
          types of bingo games and the amounts spent for security at a                
          bingo game.  Popovic and Zeve discussed how much of the proceeds            
          they had collected would be reported on the daily sheets.  At               
          Zeve’s direction, Popovic created multiple sets of daily sheets             
          and adjusted the revenue and expense amounts so that the net                
          balance would match the subsequent bank deposits.                           
               Popovic and Zeve reported $58,965 as net receipts from the             
          65 bingo games held at the Elyria Hall from November 9, 1985,               
          through June 14, 1986, to petitioner and to various State                   
          authorities.  The amounts they reported did match the amounts               
          they deposited to petitioner’s bank account.  These amounts were
