Bartlett added Vanek is simply a witness in a federal case; “he is not under suspicion”, nor has he done anything wrong.

Earlier this summer, three men were indicted on gambling and money laundering charges, with the Marina Bar named as a meeting place for cash payments and drop-offs.

Interestingly, former Sabres teammate Nathan Paetsch is described here as being involved in a partnership that owned the Marina Restaurant and Bar.
