Oh yeah , his casinos. You have to be a true patriot to make your money off the back of a gambling-addicted compatriot.
Some people would refuse to invest in a casino no matter the profit just out of principle.
Oh!!!!!!!!! Ordinary people would not be allowed to invest in a casino!!!! So not to worry!!!!!
It is only made men and mob bosses who get to own casinos!!!!!

Here is an article illustrating how sloppy a job LIE-berals are doing in the fight against organized crime. With some comments of my own in brackets):
How CBC journalists laundered $24K at B.C. casinos
By Paisley Woodward. July 2. 2018
CBC reporter Eric Rankin, associate producer Paisley Woodward and intern Teresa Tang divide CBC cash to launder at a B.C. casino.
In May 2008, I found myself staring into the bright glow of a slot machine, a thick wad of $20 bills in my lap, wired with a hidden camera and armed with a mission to "launder" thousands of dollars in taxpayer money.
I didn't lose a penny. But I found a major story — that it was surprisingly easy to launder money through slot machines at provincial casinos..
As an investigative producer working for CBC News in Vancouver, I'd been reading through a stack of records documenting suspected criminal activity at B.C. casinos.
(CBC is always on the lookout for ways to minimize political damage to their LIE-beral overlords and CBC is ever generous with our tax money so they had the resources to play at investigating how loose casino security is! But more frugal private Cdn media took a more direct approach and quoted directly from police reports detailing the millions of dollars that are known to have been laundered and B.C. casinos! With much of that money being used to speculate in Cdn real estate- and to drive up our housing costs- while LIE-berals look away!)
This is just part of a stack of freedom of information reports CBC investigative producer Paisley Woodward uncovered in 2008. It had taken four years to wrest records from the government.
(What a surprise that LIE-berals do not want to discuss this crap! LIE-beral Fake News dictates that CRIME IS DOWN! Reports that suggest criminals are getting ever smarter and more sophisticated will not play well with LIE-berals- and so will be buried! Nor do LIE-berals wish to admit just how many of their “entrepreneur class” of immigrants are shady dealers and fly by night operators using Cdn passports as a flag of convenience! One has only to think back a decade to the $86 million dollars that Cdn govt spent to rescue 50,000 so called Cdns from the docks in Beirut! And LIE-berals think it is none of our business how much time “new Cdns” spend out of the country! New Cdns are often recorded as going back home to visit with relatives in countries they claim to have fled in fear for their lives! LIE-berals are so will-fully blind that they told us it was none of our business how much Cdn welfare money that the wife of chief Somali warlord and Somali govt leader Mohamed Farrah Aideed got from us- in between flights back to Somalia to participate with her hubby in STATE SPONSORED EVENTS!)
Casino employees are required to red flag potential crimes to the B.C. government. I was suddenly reading about large and suspicious cash transactions.
(And of course crime is down and we don’t need to hire more cops so there is nobody available to investigate these politically incorrect activities! And a good many of the cops we do have are busy chasing down Muslim radicals and returning Isis fighters that LIE-berals think will be a “strong voice in the community”! Its almost as if LIE-berals WANT organized crime to take us over!)
The work that we produced back then reverberates still. This week, our CBC reports into money laundering were among the "stellar investigative journalism" cited by Peter German in his review of money laundering in B.C. casinos .
What set us on this path? In 2004, we'd aired a story about loan sharks operating at a major B.C. casino.
Security staff were alleging they'd been directed by their bosses to point security cameras away from loan sharks on the floor. They contended the casino didn't want a record of their presence. That way, it wouldn't have to report anything to regulators.
(Oh that is STANDARD LIE-beral style procedure! If it aint on record then it did not happen and whiners can be safely ignored by politicians!)
That got us curious. What records of criminal activity had casinos been filing with the B.C. government? I thought these records would be impossible to get. Nonetheless, we filed a Freedom of Information request.
The government fought hard. After four years, we won. Then-commissioner David Loukidelis ruled in our favour.
We hit the jackpot. As I was poring through these documents, our team of journalists decided we should test the system for ourselves. We decided to go out with undercover cameras and see how easy it might be to launder money through the slot machines.
We had learned of a case in Ontario where the RCMP had exposed criminals for doing this at the slots .
We thought it might be difficult to persuade our bosses at CBC here in B.C. to hand over thousands of dollars of the corporation's money to run through the slots.
But it turned out our colleagues at CBC Ontario had been planning the same thing there and had already received the green light.
We got the OK to use $30,000 and try to launder it through two B.C. casinos.
a close up of a computer: A CBC investigation found that three undercover journalists were quite easily able to trade cash for cheques at a casino.
(In other words- Cdn casinos are the criminal cess pools that their critics warned they would become without very tight policing- which they aint getting!)
Here's how we'd do it: Plug $20 bills into a slot machine. Just play a couple of rounds, and then "change our minds" and cash out. We knew that instead of returning our money, the slots would print off a cash voucher.
We'd take those vouchers to the casino cashier to be redeemed for cash. We figured if we gathered up enough of those voucher slips — like the criminals had in Ontario — the casino might return our money in the form of a cheque.
A casino cheque is good for criminals, because to the outside world it's presumed to be winnings and therefore legitimate
When we first went to Great Canadian's Grand Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam (now the Hard Rock Casino), then to Gateway's Grand Villa in Burnaby, I was petrified, worried we'd get caught.
There were security cameras everywhere, including right overhead. Staff were strolling around. Wasn't our behaviour bizarre? Wouldn't they notice that we were robotically feeding piles of twenties into the slots, then bailing?
At Great Canadian, it was a cinch. We quickly converted $15,000 into cheques. All we had to do was provide the cashier with our driver's licences.
The Gateway Casino was stricter.
Curt easily got his vouchers turned into a cheque for $9,000. But I was told I didn't have enough vouchers to warrant a cheque. Teresa was turned down flat: Her cashier wanted proof the vouchers represented verified prize money.
So, of that $30,000, we laundered $24,000 into "clean money," an 80 per cent "success" rate.
Investigation prompts review
The story grabbed the attention of the provincial NDP opposition.
New Democrats hammered the then-B.C. Liberal government for two days during question period at the Legislature.
Solicitor General John van Dongen acknowledged the casinos had failed , and ordered the BC Lottery Corporation to beef up its money-laundering procedures.
And the $30,000 we started out with? We promptly returned our cheques and cash to CBC. We actually had net winnings — of just over $100.
That money was donated to the Vancouver Food Bank.

(Uh huh- and we can bet NOTHING was done about these so called lapses in security! Casinos are in the business of making money- police investigations are NOT in their job description! And apparently taking action against crime is NOT part of the LIE-beral job description either!)
