Grand Jury targeting Adelson Casino

Sheldon Adelson's Woes Mount With Grand Jury In Las Vegas Sands Money-Laundering Probe

The legal headaches besetting billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp. now include a grand jury in Los Angeles, part of a federal money-laundering probe of his Nevada-based casinos, The Huffington Post has learned.

The involvement of a federal grand jury, not previously reported, suggests an escalation of the money-laundering investigation into Sands and one of its executives, being led by the U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, according to a person with direct knowledge of the inquiry. The person requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the grand jury’s work, which is not public.

Investigators are probing whether Sands broke money-laundering laws by failing to report millions in potentially questionable transfers of money several years ago by two-high rollers at its casinos. Both men have separately been charged with other crimes and one has since been sentenced to jail for accepting illegal kickbacks.

The money-laundering inquiry is just one of the legal battles facing Adelson's international casino empire, which includes four casinos in Macau that produce more than half the company's annual revenues. Macau, like Hong Kong, is one of China's two special administrative regions, but unlike Hong Kong, Macau is the only place in China where casino gambling is legal.

Oh no! I guess after donating about $150 MILLION, (first to Gingrich, then to RMoney), and seeing them lose, he didn't get the expected free-pass and cover-up he expected. He might actually get convicted of something serious.

But I'll bet it makes some "Proud to be Republicans"....

Just like the IRS? Intimidate anybody who dares to support a Republican? Trump up false charges?

Deflect much?

Like Obama said, "we will go after our enemies"

Like Nixon said, "I am not a crook."

Nixon is not in office. For a matter of fact... he's dead.

So Fred believes that Republicans should be able to commit financial crimes, money laundering for Mexican drug lords without being investigated?

I didn't say that, but with this current administration's tactics of coming down hard on political opponents taints any investigations they or their allies embark on.

Yeah, kind of like the "Plumbers", and "CREEP"... They wrote the book on it...

I wonder if he ever gave any money to Harry Reid?
