The good news is that Sheldon Adelson may have to pay lawyers all his money to keep his gaming license instead of giving it to Republicans.

In a plot more jumbled than a bushel basket of wire coat hangers, Adelson is being accused of being in an organized crime syndicate with China.  Yeah, the country.

Some former employees of Adelson’s highly profitable casinos on Macau are saying that he made unholy deals with Chinese officials, the triads, and organized crime.  Sheldon was on the stand in a Las Vegas courtroom for four days.

By the time the hearing was over, Adelson had argued with the judge, contradicted the evidence of his own executives and frustrated his lawyers by revealing more information than he was required to in response to simple yes or no questions. But most importantly, far from laying the allegations against his Las Vegas Sands conglomerate to rest, the billionaire’s answers threw up yet more questions which he is likely to have to return to court to answer.

Yep, that’s our Sheldon.  Yakkity, yak.

And to make matters worse for Sheldon …

But if the judge rules that the case belongs in an American court, then the 81-year-old billionaire will face some difficult questions raised by his testimony. Those are likely to be reinforced by internal company documents obtained by the Investigative Reporting Program (IRP) at the University of California, Berkeley, which appear to undermine some of Adelson’s statements in the witness box.

Yet Republican presidential candidates come to Vegas to kiss his ring and by ring I mean patootie.

Something tells me that this is gonna get funner.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
