Adelson Casino ‘Likely’ Violated Law

Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp. apparently admitted in Securities and Exchange Commission findings this week that it “likely” violated bribery laws. In the filing, the Sands reported that it appeared that several officials had violated a federal law against bribing foreign officials in China, where the Sands is already under investigation for its activities. This is the first public acknowledgment of any possible wrongdoing by the Sands Corp., which has made Adelson billions in its Asian outposts.
