Nevada Gaming files complaint against Resorts World regarding allowing illegal bookies to gamble there and launder money

[DGenBen]

Former Resorts World CEO Scott Sibella was a shady guy, and for a long time, the corrupt LV media was ignoring it, and Nevada Gaming seemed to look the other way,

However, once Scott Sibella was arrested by the feds and subsequently fired, the media had no choice but to report on it, and Gaming had to take action.

Now Resorts World is facing the possibility of losing their license, and will likely at least face a massive fine. They are accused of allowing known illegal bookies to gamble there and launder money.

Interestingly, the main bookie involved here is Matthew Bowyer, who was in mainstream news earlier this year as the illegal bookmaker who took bets from Shohei Ohtain's assistant, Ippei Mizuhara. While there was (and still is) some suspicion that Mizuhara was placing some or all of the bets on behalf of Ohtani, he did plead guilty in federal court to having stolen Ohtani's money for purposes of continuing to gamble at high stakes. At minimum, Mizuhara stole at least some of that money gambled with Bowyer.

Anyway, this entire thing came out in March due to the arrest and investigation of Bowyer.

Matthew Bowyer is the main bookie being accused of being allowed to gamble at Resorts World, and it's alleged that executives there, including CEO Sibella, knew about it and looked the other way. Interestingly, a newly revealed angle involves Bowyer's wife Nicole, who was an independent host associated with Resorts World. Apparently Nicole Bowyer was also earning a commission on the losses incurred by her husband and his associates!

It is assumed that Bowyer and his associates were gambling at Resorts World at high stakes in order to clean up their illegal bookmaking earnings, thus making the money they cashed out appear to be casino wins. Resorts World was said to have looked the other way as this occurred, rather than inquire about their source of funds. It's also alleged that Resorts World was very aware of Bowyer's actual source of funds, so this went beyond ignorance.

Bowyer pled guilty 6 days ago in federal court to illegal bookmaking and money laundering.

Wow. What a clusterfuck for Resorts World, but Resorts World is a dime a dozen in Las Vegas Casinos and it's not really that big of a deal that they are losing their license. There's are PLENTY of other Las Vegas Casinos to balance out Resorts World losing their license. Harrah's, Bellagio, Cea

Sorry, my post was posted without being completed. Harrah's, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Aria, the Wynn, The Luxor, MGM Grand, Tropicana, Sam's Town, Silverton, Ellis Island, Palms, Paris Las Vegas, Bally's, Southpoint, Mohegan Sun, Encore, Durango, Fontainebleau, Circus Circus, that can balance out Resorts World possibly losing their license.

Um, you left out El Cortez, New York New York, Red Rock, The Plaza, Golden Nugget, M resort, Excalibur, AZ Charlies, Circa, Four Queens, the D, Fremont, California, the Grand & a whole bunch of others.

If anyone looks at the first list you posted they may not be able to find enough Las Vegas casinos to fulfill all their Las Vegas casino needs in the very unlikely even that RW were to close.

Well, duh...

Karen has never been to Las Vegas so far as I can tell.

She's like a groupie for a band she's only heard on recordings but never saw performing live.

Her comments are about as useful as a piece of shit on a plow handle.

I've been shitting on my plow handles for years to deter thieves. I thought everyone did this.
