GOP Donor Adelson Accused Of Organized Crime Ties
[su_publirb]
A U.S. court will hear accusations that Sheldon Adelson, a major Republican donor, has ties to organized crime in China.
Las Vegas Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez ruled that a hearing over the full case will take place in a Nevada courtroom, according to The Guardian, dealing a blow to Adelson, the owner of Las Vegas Sands and a major GOP political donor.
“This matter has been pending in Nevada courts for almost five years,” Gonzalez said. “Judicial economy would be served by continuing his litigation in Nevada.”
Her ruling follows a month of legal arguments over where jurisdiction in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against Adelson should take place.
Steven Jacobs, the suit’s plaintiff, has argued that Adelson unfairly terminated him as chief executive of Adelson’s casinos in Macao, China, in a case that has remained tangled in courts since 2010.
Jacobs alleged that Adelson fired him after he blocked hundreds of thousands of dollars meant for Leonel Alves, a Macau legislator and lawyer. He has argued that the funds would have potentially breached U.S. anti-bribery laws.
Jacobs additionally charged that Adelson and Alves refused his attempts to break ties with Macau’s triads, the Chinese organized crime groups that run illegal operations there.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge has decided a wrongful termination case against Macau-based Sands China Ltd. and Sands Chairman Sheldon Adelson can stay in Nevada largely because of the influence Adelson wielded over the company, often from several thousand miles away.
Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez issued her ruling Friday afternoon after hearing several days of testimony in April and May to determine if Nevada has jurisdiction over the lawsuit filed by the former CEO of Sands China, Steven Jacobs”

Kiss Meyer Lansky’s butt…are you as stupid as you appear or did you go to school for it

I’m sure the Jewish people will survive your vile attempt to sully an entire race, and I am just as sure I will survive your laughable attempt to defend your position. I know you didn’t have to go to school to learn your bigotry – it came straight from the pages of Goebbels . He failed and so will you.

Are you denying that there is a Jewish Mafia?
Jake May 24th, 2015 at 6:32 pm
Which one do you mean – the one which makes matzo out of Christian blood or the one which is trying to take over the world by controlling the banks – you’ll have to forgive me I’m not up to date on the latest print of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion – I’m sure you will be able to enlighten us all.

Well it’s certainly not new “news”. His connections have been brought up many times before and this suit has been around for a while. It’s what qualifies as news on a holiday weekend.

Probably true…

I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I’ll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and… walk in and see and, uh… if you don’t have my money for me, I’ll… crack your fuckin’ head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I’m comin’ out of jail, hopefully, you’ll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I’ll split your fuckin’ head open again. ‘Cause I’m fuckin’ stupid. I don’t give a fuck about jail. That’s my business. That’s what I do.
