Federal prosecutors and pro-Israel Republican stalwart Sheldon Adelson’s casino company Las Vegas Sands Corp. may have come to an understanding on issues pertaining to money-laundering laws allegedly violated in the cases of two criminal high-rollers.

Lawyers for the Sands and federal prosecutors met on Thursday after the Sands failed to obtain a dismissal. Prosecutors threatened to charge the Sands and a company executive with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Now, the prosecution may indeed drop the case, with the Sands paying a fine and updating regulations on handling customer money.

Sands representatives stated that the casino was cooperating with federal investigations and denied any wrongdoing...

This just reeks.


It's embarrassing as Hell.

If a sitting Republican President did this, DU would be screaming bloody murder;
but since it's Obama, not so much? In fact I'm probably blaspheming with these
very remarks, and may suffer for it.

It's times like this though, when I consider just opting out of this whole fucking so-called
"system"; which is so corrupted to it's core, that it forces half its voters to have to hold
their nose half the time, even though "their guy" is in office.

8. This is nothing but a rumor being pushed by the Adelson crowd right before an election --

in an attempt to split Obama supporters and other progressives.

Why would anyone believe this without some actual evidence?

9. "...may have come to an understanding..."

ambiguous enough to keep all guessing...wtf?

[azurnoir]

10. a 'deal' huh?

this part of the article stuck out for me

One, Zhenli Ye Gon, a Chinese citizen with a Mexican pharmaceutical factory, was charged in 2007 with manufacturing a component of methamphetamine, during which time evidence showed he had spent over $100 million at Las Vegas casinos. Charges against him were later dropped by federal prosecutors. But the case raised concerns over whether the Sands failed to report deposits made by a suspicious person.

I am wondering if the deal included turning 'states' evidence, more like plea bargain?

11. wouldn't that be cool if the rest of us could just pay a fine

and get a "get out of jail free" card too, instead of being sent to prision?

12. It would be karma's gift if Adleson would go to jail but these wealthy corrupt, souless folks

rarely go to jail.
