Marina Bay Sands ends lawsuit with $9.1m payment

It was sued last year to recover funds that was allegedly said was sent to other patrons in 2015.

The Singapore casino Marina Bay Sands, run by billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp., has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by a former patron, meeting his demand for a $9.1m payment, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Marina Bay Sands also agreed to allow Wang Xi back into the casino as long as he abides by its policies, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. A spokesman for Marina Bay Sands declined to comment. Wang also declined to comment through his lawyer at Rajah & Tann Singapore.

Wang sued the Singapore casino last year to recover $9.1m that he said was sent to other patrons in 2015 without his approval. The Singapore Police Force also investigated Wang’s complaint, Bloomberg News reported in May.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
