Tony Cornero surrounded by staff and Radio News Reel broadcasting equipment on his newly refurbished gambling ship, the Bunker Hill (also known as the Lux), which was meant to operate offshore of Los Angeles.

After his arrest, Cornero announced that he was ready to go to the United States Supreme court to keep the Bunker Hill running.
