        Money laundering.

        The financial success or failure of the casinos was a by product of laundering huge amounts of money through them.

    I’m convinced the casino bankruptcies were just a way to launder money and abuse the system. There’s probably a few hundred contractors that never got paid while he benefited from their work long enough to make profit out of it.

      He could have been working with Epstein far sooner than we think with his schemes to launder money and smuggle arms.

    I worked in casino finance, it is staggeringly difficult to bankrupt a casino.

        The house isn’t even playing a game, it’s all statical models. The slots are designed to pay out less money than they take in. As long as you can keep people coming into the casino you will make money.
