Yea, But Bribing American Officials is a Whole ‘Nother Thing
Remember Sheldon Adelson? The Las Vegas guy who spent $150 million dollars to help Republicans in the last election?
You know, the guy who looks like a cross between Jabba the Hutt and The Godfather? That guy.
Well, Darlin’, he rolled the dice and came up about $150 million dollars short.
Plus, he’s had to admit to the Securities and Exchange Commission that his Las Vegas Sands Corporation “likely violated a federal law against bribing foreign officials.”
It seems that Sheldon admits to bribing Chinese government officials to expand his business in China. The total amount of the bribe? $700,000.
Now that’s a far cry from the $150,000,000 he used to bribe Republicans to expand his wealth. Only difference is that that’s perfectly legal in the United States of America.
Is this a great country, or what?
