Singapore bows down to casino magnate, “Your wish is our Command, Sire!”

.....

Salam 1Singapore !


Sands Godfather has launched a holy crusade against online gaming citing “moral” concerns, and not for his very own personal financial gains or losses.

People familiar with Adelson’s effort said his team is preparing to hire lobbyists when necessary in numerous state capitals. (1Singapore also???)

Sheldon Adelson Says He Is 'Willing To Spend Whatever It Takes' To Stop Online Gambling
http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanv...nd-whatever-it-takes-to-stop-online-gambling/

“I am willing to spend whatever it takes,” Adelson said in his first interview since The Washington Post revealed that he had hired an army of lawyers and lobbyists to try to convince Congress (and 1Singapore Parliament also ???) to ban online gambling.
“My MORAL standard compels me to speak out on this issue because I am the largest company by far in the industry and I am willing to speak out. I don’t see any compelling reason for the government to allow people to gamble on the Internet and nobody has ever explained except for the two companies whose special interest is going to be served if there is gaming on the Internet, Caesars and MGM.”

Some analysts estimate that the size of the remote gambling market in Singapore could be US$300 million, and it is expected to grow by 6-7 per cent annually (Adelson’s potential losses being plugged…Huat Ah!).

But Adelson and 1Singapore are likely to fight a losing battle….

Doubling down: Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his 1Singapore minion back another losing campaign

So the cards are once again stacked against Sheldon Adelson and his 1Singapore minion. The only real question is, how much of their own money will they sink into their latest bid before they decide to fold?

Steve Wynn Compares Adelson’s and 1Singapore’s Effort to Outlaw Online Poker to Prohibition…..and will fail accordingly as the Prohibition.

On the other hand, playing poker is America, and outlawing poker is like the Volstead Act where they outlawed beer.
I think it’s questionable whether Sheldon and 1Singapore will be able to stop it….I just think this sort of thing has a life of its own.

If I could only live to see it, to be there with you.

Ha, what I wouldn't give for twenty more years!

Here we are at SkyPark, protected. Free to make our profits without online gaming, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. Ninety hundred miles away, in partnership with a friendly government.

Ninety hundred miles! It's nothing!

Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be PM of 1Singapore, and having the cash to make it possible. Kee Chiu, we're bigger than Temasek!
