The Seminole Tribe of Florida filed a lawsuit in state court, alleging former employees bilked $4 million in tribal profits.

The former employees are linked to ousted chairman Jim Billie, who hired operations manager Timmy Wayne Cox. The suit alleges Cox and others set up fake companies to receive tribal money, stole casino revenue, set up Internet gaming sites and used tribal funds improperly.
