Adelson's company 'likely' violated bribery laws
New York (CNNMoney) - Las Vegas Sands Corp said it "likely" violated the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits American companies from bribing foreign officials.
In a regulatory filing, the Las Vegas Sands Corp., run by controversial Republican party donor Sheldon Adelson, also admitted that the company was under investigation by the Department of Justice and the Securities & Exchange Commission for violating the international bribery law.

And while Republicans complain about Obama's "Hollywood Donors"... Crooks like this funneled tons of money (both dirty and FILTHY) into Romney's campaign.
I expect to see/hear the same outrage they recently displayed on the Obama article here on the Adelson one (which is far worse, and far more illegal).
3,2,1...
Surprise, surprise
What political party embraces this guy? How many in Washington has he already bought?
This is why Adelson spent so much money trying to buy the next President of the United States. He knew that the hammer of justice was about to fall on him and he was, once again, trying to bribe his way out of it.
Every article on the Ticker from CNN is anit Republican, anti Christian, written to promote Democrats, Hollywood, and social elite.
It's a good thing this guy has money, he is one of the ugliest men in the world!
Wow the casinos are involved in criminal activity? What a revelation!
Adelson is also guilty of having bribed legal people in Macao ,China to get his casinos past their gambling rules..He better hope he's found here guilty first before China because the Chinese look down on American law breakers there,especially the wealthy one and aren't nice about sentencing either!!
A crooked Republican supporter? Say it isn't so!
This is not a big surprise to me. Given what he has done and who he has supported, it doesn't surprise me.
These people need to get a life, all these people been durng is bribing each other down through the years like this is a new probem please.
Crickets.... No surprise here and I hope he's indicted for something. The difference between a cheating democrat and a cheating republican are quite significant. Republicans always go big in that department. They take lying and cheating to a new level and Adelson is no different. What a piece of work this guy and his girl are. I hope they go DOWN.
you think all of them THE GOP are slime
Just what was he willing to pay the Romney, campaign for that was going to be worth 50 million. It had to be something pretty pocket packing for him to make such an offer. Qui-Bono.
Hmmm. Why do I get the feeling that Adelson may have invested so heavily into Republican campaigns last year in a desperate hope that a GOP victory in the presidential election might have quashed this investigation ...?
And just think, he almost was in charge of the United States of America.....He almost bought it....Wake up America!!!!
