iNTRODUCTION TO ASSIGNMENT
Background
The following background was provided to International Risk by Las Vegas Sands
Corp and The Venetian - The Palazzo ("Sands") t:!l the outset of this project:

We were informed that a Reuters article dated 30 March 2010 entitled "Special

Repott: High-Rollers, Triads and a Las Vegas Giant' {''the Article") had recently
surfaced in the international media and which article made claims that a person by
the name of Cheung Chi Tai

G.t?:Ytnk)

("CheunJJ")

wf!J:s "the person

in-charge" of "one

of the V!P rooms at Sands Macau" and that he was also Triad leader.
The Article alleged that Cheung was "ldY)tifi~q" as a leader of t11e Wo Hop To, a
Hong Kong-based Triad Society; this etT1ergir1(jduring a criminal Trial in Hong !<ong
in 2009 ("the Trial").

According to the Article, four men were convicted at the Tria! for their respective
roles in a "conspiracy to cornrnlt .bodily harm'' and a fifth person was (again according
to the Article) accused of fsdkiiting a murder" of a "dealer" at Sands Macau. The
article claimed this person was suspected of ''helping a patron cheat miliions of
dollars from the business".

According to the /\;tide, authorities acknowledged only that a 49-years old male,
surnatned Cheung "was arrested in connection with the case but released after legal
advice was souoht due to insufficient evidence".

Hle Nevada Gaming Control Board expressed an interest in the matter and

reportedly stated on 31 March 2010 that it is analyzing the status of ViP room
operations in Macau casinos and their possible links with Chinese criniinafs.

As a highly ethical and prudent organization, Sands requested lnterfiationa!Risk to


.conduct an Independent Investigation into the allegations contained within the
Article and into the background and reputation of Cheung.

We understand that, at some future time, Sands may wish to share the findings of
our Independent Investigation wlth key gaming regulators.

Agreed Scope of Work


In response to a written proposal, Sands engaged International Risk on 15 April

2010 to conduct an Independent lnvestigetlon into the aliegations contained in the


Article, including into the accuracy and
well as concur-rently to conduct

\/en:tc!tyof the claims that are made in it, as

focused yet discreet investigation into the

background of Cheung in Macau, Hcng Kong and elsewhere.

Speciflcally, International Risk was engaged to independently review the content and
the veracity of the claims made in the Article; this with a view to separating fact from
(any) unsubstantiate,c! rumour(sj and identifying any factual errors contained within
the Article (Phas(~ One fnv;;;,t>tigation). In addition, Sands engaged International
Risk to undertak,e a discreet investigation into the background and reputation of
Cheung (Phase Two investigation), including:

.,

Triad s,;)cieties (if any) and of any other related enterprise;

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
.

International Risk has completed an Independent lnvestigatio/1

intf) the allegf!tions

published by Reuters on 30 March 2010 and also into the backgroundant.treputation


of Cheung Chi Tai

(5:&if\f;:) ("Cheung")

both in Macau, Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Independent Assessment of the Reuters Article

At the outset of this project, International Risk caretut analysed the allegations
contained in the Reuters article "Special Report: HiglVRo!lers, Triads and a Las

Vegas Giant" (''the Article") (a copy of which is a:ttachE!d at.Appendix 2 for reference).
This analysis is described in greater detaH. ur1der the se~Hon entitled Independent

Assessment of the Reuters Article at page 18.


The Article makes a number of serious C:laiiris and assertions: a key thrust appears
to be an explicit attempt to link Cheung, a reputed Wo Hop To "Triad member",
directly with the Sands operation ib Macau.

International Risk examined some eightit-four assertions (many of which are interrelated) contained in the Articlo (Appendix 4); we found that a number of these
statements and claims are factually ihaccurate and/or misleading, including the
following:

"

''!-fit ordered on casino dealer suspected of cheating". This claim (on line. three
of the Article) is materiafly incorrect Wong Kam-ming CI.~f)i:J) ("Wong"), the
would-be victim of the "hit order", is erroneously identified as being a "casino
dealer" and the impression given is that he is a dealer at Sands Macau.

Wong has never been an employee of Sands Macau.

..

Sands have informed International Risk in writing that Wong has: never been
on ils payroll.

"

In fact, Wong was an introducer I chip-changer (.'ifi.~fF) for high-rollers in


Private Gaming rooms in Macau.

None of the media references or other live sources we consulted suggest that
Wong was a "casino dealer" at Sands.

The Article alleges that Wong was "helping a patron cheat millions of dollars",
the obvious inference being that this was inside the Private Gaming room at
Sands, Macau.

"

In fact a gambler, Siu Yun-ping (y:r:\<~.

f'J

("Siu") is at the centre of the cheating

allegation. Wong was Siu's personal ''chip-changer".

"

Similarly, the phrase in tl'lt'J Article that, "Later. a call went out to murder the
dealer" is clearly incorrect; he was not a dealer.

..

Misleading use ol'N1e t(;rm "the Business": "At first, the men had been ordered
to break the arms and ~egs of a dealer at Sands Macau suspected of helping
a patron cheat millions of dollars from the business." The use of the term "the
business" here may lead a reader to erroneously assume that "the business"
and fhe cheating allegation are referring to Sands Macau.

None cri the Chinese-language media references we consulted, have


described or even inferred that Sands was a party to this "cheating issue".

Poor Referencing: The Article makes a number of unsupporteci claims .and in


places the qualifying reference is lacking.

!$sues Regarding "Previously Undisclosed Transcripts": Reuters have affeged


that much of their information .comes from a "previously undisclosed court
transcript". 2 lntemational Risk has thus far been unable to access court
transcripts of the Trial (other than the Official Transcript of the Court Audio
Recording of the Sentencing of the Defendants). Such records are not
publlcafiy available to non-involved parties. 3

niete!s some doubt therefore as

to whether or not Reuters h.ave had comprehen$ive access to the full "official"
court transcript.

The Description of the Criminal Charges: The

R;Jqhsrs

article misstated ttle

actual criminal charges laid; wnHst on the sun'ace this is not materially
damaging to the overall article; it

!.s

indicative of a lack of rigour in the

research and reporting process. Agaib:lfofficiai court transcripts were in ttle


hands of the authors thensui;;h ah ei$I11entary mistake would be unlikely.
.

Due Diligence Investigation into Ch~l.ll'l~ Chi' Tal


Concurrently with the hldep$r\dent Assessment of the Article, International Risk
conducted an in-d~nth invest[gation into Cheung Chi Tai, his background and
reputation:

Ch.~ung is undoubtedly a leading member of the Wo Hop To Triad Society in

Hong Kong and Macau.

Cheung is identified as a leader of the Wo Hop To Triad Society in a report to

oftne

Committee on Governmental Affairs, 102nc Congress, 2~ Session, United

Organised Crime" ("the US Senate Report") (Appendix 7). He appears clearly
on a diagram showing the leadership and structure of the Wo Hop To Triad
Society (Appendix 8).

A reliable (now retired) law enforcement source, who previously had direct
and personal knowledge of Cheung (during the. 1980's).,. has independently
reported that Cheung had always claim?ti to b!:' arw<::mber of the Wo Hop To
Triad Society. The same source .dt}s.cfibed Cheung's previous criminal
activities, as Including the trafficking of illegal drugs and engaging in the
extortion of public light bus driver;;;,

"

In August 1996, Cheung is reported to have been charged by the Royal Hong
Kong Police in relation to the b1ackmZiH of street vendors at the Aberdeen Fish
Market, in Hong Kong. However, he was acquitted at triaL

Independent sources who are knowledgeable about the 2009 Trial (subject of
the Article) have achtlsed that all five defendants are 1/Vo Hop To Triad
members.

Cheung (U.ilder both his real name and nickname, "Tsang Pau") was
mentioned by prosecution witnesses as being the "boss" of the five
defendants in the ''murder-for-hire" Trial.

..

Cheung was arrested on the same day as the five defendants in the case. but
he was reieased due to insufficient evidence.

undertaking focused but discreet investigation$Jntqthe background and reputation
of Cheung.
The Article contains multiple flaws. andln~ccvracies as outlined above.
Our investigation into Cheung htY-f1~ver has revealed worrying information about him
and his activities.
Cheung exercises a measure of control over both the Hou Wan and Hao Cai Junkets
because of his role as a '\qll0r<Vitor"; extending very considerable amounts of credit
to these Junkets.

As is detailed in tht

report there

is little doubt that Cheung is a (senior) member of

the Wo Hop To Triad Society.

We therefore recommend that Sands adopts measures to distance itself from


Cheung and this group.

obtained by Reuters". The Article contains allegations as to Cheung's "ties to .Sands


Macau", alleging "multi-tiered arrangements" which lead to the Hou Wan (a Junket
operator) "entitled to profits from Sands Macau's Chengdu VIP roonci";

The Article also seeks to shed light on the "links between China's secretive Triad
societies and Macau's booming gambling indust1y". A core theme is the suggestion
of a direct connection between Triads, organized crime, Junket operators and the
VIP rooms inside of Macau's casinos.

International Risk has also reviewed the Report issued by ttle State of New Jersey,
Department of Law and Public Safety, entitled "SpeCial Report of the Division of
Gaming Enforcement to the Casino Control Comrnissidn on its Investigation of MGM
Mirage's Joint Venture with Pansy Ho in Macau, Speda( Administrative Region,
People's Republic of China" (18 May 200fl} ("the New jqrsey Report") (Appendix 3)
which is referred to in the Article.

The Operation of VIP Rooms

Private Gaming Rooms in Macau

We were informed by Sands that there appears to be two markedly different models
in relation to the operation of\/lP Rooms Or Private Gaming Rooms in Macau.

The predominant busriless model in the VIP rooms owned by SJM ("the SJM Model")
is to lease out thqse VIP Rooms via "service" agreements with third parties. Those
third parties operate the VIP Rooms owned by SJM, hire the staff, pay the staff, run
the Roorns, incur the risk, retain the revenue, and pay SJM a service fee for the use
of the VIP Room. In other words, the typical VIP Room in an SJM owned casino is a
VIP Roorn operated by an independent third party for the benefit of the third party.

Subject to licensure, the Sands Macau enters into Junket agreements with Junket
operators; Sands Macau compensates the Junket operators under various programs,
including a percentage of what is referred to as "chip roW' for the players produced by
the Junket

Junket operators in Macau are therefore different to ';vhat are called "Junket

representatives" or "independent agents" in Las \ft-).gas; who are essentially


commissioned outside sales persons.

International Risk examined some eighty--four key claims (many of which are inter-

related) which are contained in the Article (Appendix 4); we have determined that a
number of these statements ant! claims are factually inaccurate, including the
following:

Material or Factual Errors Contained in the Article

"Hit ordered on caqtfi9 dealert!vspected of cheating"

This claim, on line three of the Article, is materially incorrect

Wong f<am-ming ('Wong"), the would-be victim of the "hit order", is erroneously
identified as being a "casino dealer" and the impression is clearly given that he is a
dealer at Sands Macau.

Wong has never been an employee of Sands Macau.

Independent sources as weil as Chinese-language media references; relating

to the

Hong Kong High Cowi Case, HCCC13/2009: HKAR vs. SEE WAH UJN and Others
("the Trial") report that Wong was an introducer I chip--changer (1!~!~~~ i) for highrollers in VIP gaming rooms and Private Gaming rooms in Macau.

Wong reportedly earned a commission when these high-rollers exchanged gambling


6

chips. None of the media references or other sources we consulte.d have suggested
that Wong was a "casino dealer" at Sands.

Sands has also confirmed to International Risl( iii an ernai! dated 28 April 2010 that
Wong has never been on its payrolL

The Article also makes the specific a!legR~tion th?t Wong was "helping a patron cheat
millions of dollars from the busini;iss" (the inference being that this was inside a
Private Gaming Room at Sands Macau).

lnternatiohal Risk's assessm~nt o'f the situation is that the actual suspect in the
"cheating issue'' is, in fact;\'! g?mbler named Siu Yun-ping

(iilififf,\FF)

("Siu") and not

Wong as stated.

Wong was reportl'ld to be Siu's personal ''chip-changer" (and as stated was not an
employee of Sands).
Siu is r~ported

by the media to have been "so successful'' in his gambling trips to

Macau that he was attributed the nickname of ''Yuen Long God of Gambling"

he had in fact cheated at gaming.

International Risk has reviewed numerous Chinese-language media reports on the


trial; none of these concur with the Reuters' assessment that Wong (the "Sands'
dealer") was the suspect in the cheating issue. 6

Similarly, the claim in the Article that "Later.

caH went out to murder the dealer" is

clearly incorrect given that Wong was not a dealer.

Misleading use of the term "the Business"

"At first, t!Je men h<Jd been ordered to break the arms at]d legs of a dealer at Sands
Macau suspected of helping a patron cheat millions of dollars from tlw business."

The use of term "the business" ln the cheflfklg aiiegafion may iead an uninformed
reader to assume that "the business" referred to is Sands Macau.

None of the Chinese-language medk~ references we consulted describe or infer that


Sands was a party to tfK:< cheating issue. 9 Siu's "alleged cheating" is said to have
"offended" Cheung, the pe:mson behind the Junket operator(s) working at tile three
Private Gaming Roorns that Siu frequented, and not Sands Macau as is inferred.

The Article claims that the so-called "dealer at Sands Macau" (see abov$) is
"suspe.cted of helping a patron cheat millions of dollars from the business". The
accuracy of this statement is questionable.

Chinese-language media reporting at the time suggested that Wong had won some
US$12 mi!lion in Macau; this differs significantly from Reuter's more general report of
"millions". There are also reports suggesting that the true figure may be closer to
US$64 million. Some of these media reports speculate as to the possible
methodology used in such "cheating". ' 0

Other Unsupported Claims in the Article

The Article makes a number of Ci21ims wb~re the qualifying evidence. is lacking. For
example, page 5 of H1e Artide dairn<> that "Documents show that his [Cheung's]
investment allowed him a share in thE> profits from a V!P gaming room at the casino
[Sands Macau]". Not only ls it unclear as to what "documents" are being referred to,

"document" and, in

Overall Assessment of the Article


As outlined above, the Article contains a number of important factual errors. It is also
misleading in a number of respects.

As is detailed in the later sections of this report, there is however little doubt that

Cheung is a (senior) member of the Wo Hop To Triad Society.

Cheung does, in reality exercise a significant measure of)nfluence over both the Hou
Wan and Hao Cai Junkets; this by virtue of his substantial guarantor status to both.

His name appears on documents (Appendix 10& 11) itdhisrespect

Cheung was arrested in connection with the "murder--for-hire" case but was released
due to insufficient evidence to substantiat~acriminal charge.

Surveillance Department Log Entries

Additionally. we analysed surveillance record logs provided by Sands which provide


interesting short commentaries. (Appendix 12)

The Surveillance Department Log Entries (J4ppendix 12) make ciear


reference to Cheung, Wong and Siu.

"

The same survetllance logs make rpf;renc;e to, v;hat we assess to be an


example of the "cheating" allegation against Siu; this on the 20th of February

2008.
"

Also, public records show that Cheung, through the complicated arrangement
(outlined earlier), had (at !east) a financial interest in the Junkets concerned,
which were operating inside the Chengdu Private Room at the Sands Macau;
this between July 2007 and.Sepk~nlb~)r 2008 Page 43 refers.

Although the logs reviewed appear to be separate and distinct from each other,
Cheung is variously described in the logs as being ''in-charge" of the Junket
concerned in all three sepan1te log entries (Appendix 12).

Two of the entries refer to Cheung

as

the "Junket Director" of Hao CaL in the third

record, he is refer-red to as being "the boss" of Hou Wan Junket.

The details of these three entries are as foilows:

1. !n the first of these logs, relating to Incident File Number !1<.!200$0028757 and
dated 29 February 2008 6:00:28 PM, Cheung is described

as "Junket Director

ofHao Cai".

2. In the second of these surveillance record logs, relating to Incident File

Number IN20080025539 and dated 14 February 2008 7:00:i 5 PM. Cheung is


recorded in this log as "he is now the Director of Hao Cai". (We also note that
Lei Lu Peng is recorded as "Director of Junket operator Hao Cai" earlier in this

document).

3. In the third of these surveillance record logs, relating to incident File Number
IN20090161092 and dated 26 September 2009 5:17:00 AM, Cheung is
recorded as "the boss of Hou VVan Junket".

Clearly the fact that such comments .>Nere recorded is of considerable note. However
these comments do not necessarily constitute "proof' of Cheung's ownership of the
Junkets: rather this is the opinion ofthe pruson(s) whose comments were recorded
in the logs.

Discreet Field Enquiries


We carried out discreet enquiries with a number of well-placed sources to secure
information on the background and reputation of Cheung.

Background & Reputation of Cheung


We spoke discreetly to a former law enforcement officer (crime officer) of the thenRoyal Hong Kong Police and who knew Cheung personally in the i 980s. According
to this trusted source, Cheung grew up in a iarge, poor and very "messy" family in
the Aberdeen area of Hong Kong Island. Cheunq's eldest brother is also said to have
died several years ago from drug-abuse.

This source reported that Cheung had aiweys claimed to be a member of the Wo
Hop To Triad Society. As

a teenager Cheung stood out as a prominent Triad

member. He took a leading role in various iHegal activities. including the trafficking of
illegal drugs and engaging in the extortion of public light bus (PLB) drivers. This
sometimes involved the throwing of human excrement into the mini-buses of "noncompliant" PLB drivers.

Cheung was also kni.l'Nf1 to him to have taken a prominent role in "territorial disputes"
with other Triads .in the Happy Valley and Wan Chai areas of Hong Kong over
criminal enterprises.

Moreover, this source further reported that by his mid-30s Cheung had accumulated
sufficient capite! through his illegal Triad activities to expand into the "gambling

-------------------------------Together with other Triad members, he reportedly took part in [V~tiovs and
unspecified] illegal money lending and money laundering actiVities. These are
reported to have taken place inside casinos "controlled by StanleyHd'.

Cheung is currently described as being a rich man who counts arnongst his
numerous business interests, casino ships and VIP gaming rooms.

Another well-plac--ed law enforcement source stated th?t Cheung Chi Tai, aka Tsang
Pau, is a notorious Triad member in the Wo Hop To Triad Society.

According to a usually-reliable and trusted former Hong Kong law enforcement


source. Cheung is a very tough Triad leadl:1L Morl.}ovor, although he reportedly
would not hesitate to use violence against followers who are perceived to have
betrayed or to have been disloyal to him, he is also known to be generous to those
who are loyal to him.

This source recalled that Cheung. was previously charged with biackmaii and other
Triad related offences by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force Crime Unit in 1996,
when Cheung and his gang were accused of extorting fishermen for protection
money at the Aberdeen Fishery Market. However, Cheung was acquitted of the
criminal charges .at triaL

Cheung's Conm::otion with the Trial Subject Matter

We spoke discreetly to two very well--placed law enforcement sources, one of whom
hat' just retired, vvho are both very knowledgeable about the October 2009 Trial
n1ferred to in the (Reuters) Article.

Both sources reported that Wong Kam-ming (J::11f;,:t}j) ("Wong"), aka \t'\long Mirig,chai

CJYHfl is a Junket operator (Jfi'fi!:'\iFFJ and not a casino dealer.


According to these sources. all five defendants at the Trial are members of the Wo
Hop To Triad Society. During the Trial. our sources reported that none of the five
defendants elected to give evidence in court Cheung's name (and his nickname,
'Tsang Pau") was nevertheless mentioned repeatedly during the Trial b)' prosecution
witnesses: who referred to Cheung as being "the bm;s" of those charged and the
mastermind behind the piot to kHI Wong.

Our sources reported that. during the evidence given in the court proceedings. a
specific allegation was made that Cheung had given instructions to "Tai Ngan"
who. 50 as Cheung's right-hand man and Wo Hop To Triad member, further instructed
a group of Wo Hop To Triad members ''to.do the job".

One of these would-be-assassins later r;qported the matter to the police: the
information he gave would ultirria!!.':iy lead to the arrests of a number of people
(including Cheung) and the subsequt":nt prosecution and conviction of the five
defendants at TriaL

Our sources also advk'>ed that Cheung was arrested bv police on the same day as
the other five defenq:mts. Shortly after his arrest the police also searched Cheung's
addresses in Wah Fu Estate. Aberdeen (which is apparently his parents' home
address) and a 8E;cond address at Shouson Hill Road. However, no evidence
incriminating Cheung was located.

In the absence of eye witness or other incriminating evidenco. Cheung Wf:lS


ultimately released unconditionally by the Police. Our sources h~tve confirmed

that

none of the five defendants were willing to name Cheung as being their 'Triad "boss"
or as the one who had organised the plot against Wong.
Uncorroborated information (from the two law enforcement sowces) states that each
of the five defendants was paid "HK$2 million or more" in return for not providing any
evidence to police which might implicate Cheung in the ease.

During the Trial, according to the same two law enforcement sources, Siu's evidence
included, inter alia, a statement that he had been beaten Up by "some gangsters"
outside of a restaurant in Sflenztlen, and that he oeHeveo this attack to be arranged
by Cheung's follower: "Fat Cheung", a man whom he w<>s supposed to have dinner
with on the day of the attack.

The poiice sources stated that Wonp is a close friend of Siu Yun-ping
aka the "Yuen Long God of Garnbling"

("Siu"),

Background & Our Understanding of Your Requirements

International Risk understands that a Reuters article entitled "Special Report:

HighMRolfers, Triads and a Las Vegas Giant" ("the Article") has recently surfaced
and has, in essence, claimed that a person by the name of Cheung Chi-tai
("Cheung") was "the person in-charge" of "one of the VIP rooms at Sands Macau"
and that he is also a triad leader.

The Article has alleged that Cheung was "identified" as a leader of the Wo Hop To,
a Hong Kong-based tr!ad Society: this during a trial in Hong Kong in 2009 C'Trial").
According to the Article (which appears to be largely but not entirely based on
English translations of extracts from the Chinese media) four men were convicted
at this Tria! for their respective parts in a "conspiracy to commit bodily harm" and a
fifth person was apparently accused of ca!iing for thern to murder, a "dealer" at
Sands Macau who was suspected of herping a patron to cheat millions of dollars.
According to the article a 49 year old male, surnamed Cheung was arrested by
Police but vvas released after legal advice was sought due to insufficient evidence.

Since the publication of this article, we understand the Nevada Gaming Control
Board has taken an interest in the matter and has said on 31 March 201 0 that it is
analyzing the status of VIP room operations in tv1acau casinos and their possible
Hnks with Chinese criminals.

Accordingly Sands, as a highly ethical and prudent organization, has requested a


proposal from International Risk to conduct an independent investigation into
the a!iegations contained within the letter and the background of Cheung.

This proposai is the intel!ectuaf property of fntemat:onai Risk Ltd. 1\Jo part of this document may be

Macau economy booming on $15 bin a year casino revenues


Court case linked gang member to Sands junket contractor
* Hit ordered on casino dealer suspected of cheating
By Matt Isaacs and Reuters staff
SAN FRANCISCO/MACAU, March 29 (Reuters)- Late last autumn. a Hong Kong jury
convicted four men of a conspiracy to commit bodily harm and a fifth of soliciting a
murder.
At first, the men had been ordered to break the arms and legs of a dealer at Sands
Macau suspected of he!ping a patron cheat millions of dollars from the business. Later,
a call went out to murder the dealer, court records shov\"' But then one of the gangsters
balked and reported the plans to authorities.
The plot's mastermind. according to testimony in previously undisclosed court
transcripts obtained by Reuters, was Cheung Chi-tai. .At tria! a witness identified
Cheung as a leader of the Wo Hop To -- one of the organized crime groups in the
region known as triads. Another witness, a senior inspector with the Hong Kong police
called to testify because he is an expert on the triads, identified Cheung by name as
someone 1Nho would commit crimes for money Cheung's organized crime affiliation was
corroborated in interviews for this article with law enforcement and security officials
intimately familiar with the gaming industry in Macau.
The murder-for-hire case sheds light on the links between China's secretive triad
societies and Macau's booming gambling industry. It also raises potentially troubling
questions about one of the world's largest gaming companies, Las Vegas Sands , which
plans to open a $5,5 billion Singapore casino resort in late ApriL
Cheung was not just named as a triad member but also, according to a regular casino
patron testifying in the trial, "the person in charge" of one of the VIP rooms at the Sands
Macau, the first of three casinos run here by Las Vegas Sands. In addition, Cheung has
been a major investor in tile Neptune Group, a publicly traded company involved in
casino junkets -- the middlemen who bring wealthy clients to Macau's gambling halls.

SJ001244

Appendix 2
Documents show that his Investment allowed him a share in the profits from a VIP
gambling room at the casino.
An examination of Hong Kong court records, U.S. depositions from the former president
of Sands, and inte1views with law enforcement and security officials in both the U.S. and
Macau, reveals a connection between Las Vegas Sands and Cheung -- ties that could
potentially put Sands in violation of Nevada gaming laws.
The Reuters investigation is a collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at
University of California, Berkeley.
U S. casinos operating in Macau are all headquartered in Nevada and must comply with
that state's laws which prohibit "unsuitable" associations that "discredit" its gaming
industry. Those laws are meant to keep organized crime figures out of the casinos.
Leading up to its public offering in Hong Kong last November, Sands China . a
subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands, acknowledged the risks of working with gaming
promoters -- another term for junkets: "If we are unable to ensure high standards of
probity and integrity of ow Gaming Promoters with whom we are associated, our
reputation may suffer or we may be subject to sanctions, including the loss of (Sands'
Macau gaming license.)" the company wrote in a public filing.
Randall Sayre, a member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board that monitors casino
compliance, declined to comment specifically on Sands Macau, writing in an email that
the state "takes no public position on suitability ... without a full investigative work-up."
A gaming official. who insisted upon anonymity, said: "This relationship (with Cheung)
would be of concern to Nevada authorities. You're talking about direct ties to bad guys.''
Another said the agency is monitoring the situation.
Las Vegas Sands issued a statement saying, ''to our knowledge, Mr. Cheung Chi Tai is
not listed as a director or shareholder'' with any of the gaming promoters the company
uses in Macau. but declined to comment further.
Sands was the first U.S. operator to cash in on the Chinese passion for gambling when
it entered Macau in 2004 after the government opened the casino market to outsiders.
Since reverting to China in 1999, Macau, an hour away from Hong Kong by ferry, has
flourished as one of the world's wealthiest cities. The territory's economy has soared in
recent years -- much of the wealth generated by the enclave's casinos.
Indeed, the former Portuguese colony has become a playground for China's nouveau
riche. And the gleaming neon red lights of the Sands Macau casino are the first sights a
visitor takes in as the ferry approaches Macau.

Appendix 2
THE JUNKETS
The link between Macau's gambling industry and organized crime may be an open
secret, but it has come under increasing scrutiny lately. Within the last two weeks, MGM
Mirage said it would give up its holdings in New Jersey in response to pressure from the
New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. The state agency had said that Pansy Ho,
MGM Mirage's partner in Macau and the daughter of casino tycoon Stanley Ho, was an
"unsuitable" associate, an assertion stemming from the agency's belief that her father
has links to organized crime.
The involvement of the triads in Macau's casinos is cehtered on the murky and highly
profitable junket business. The VIP sector brought in $9.9 billion last year, t'No-thirds of
the enclave's total gambling revenues.
Macau has about 187 licensed junket operators, said Manuel Joaquim das Neves.
director of Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
The junkets are crucial because they ensure the flow of capital by extending credit to
gamblers, often mil!fons of dollars on a visit. They assume responsibility for collecting on
their loans-- at times indelicately, authorities say.
They also often assume management of the private VIP rooms. And while many lawabiding junkets are active in Macau, experts say the industry is highly susceptible to
criminal influence given the extra-legai functions and opaque environments in which
they work.
In an interview, Dan Grove, a former agent for the FBI who oversaw security for Sands
Macau in the first few years after its opening -- and before the casino became involved
in junkets-- characterized pressure from triads to work with the casino as ,;immense."
When known crime figures applied directly for contracts, blocking them was easy, Grove
says. But if legitimate professionals submit applications and then sub-contract the work
to the triads, detecting such ties was more difficult if not impossible. [201 00329 215028

JUMBO BOOM
Cheung Chi-tai's ties to Sands Macau carne through such a multi-tiered arrangement
His solely owned company, Jumbo Boom Holdings, provided capital for another firm,
now called Neptune Group, to acquire a stake in Hou Wan. a junket operator. Hou Wan
was entitled to profits from Sands Macau's Chengdu VIP room.
Cheung owned more than 8 percent of Neptune Group in 2008, according to public
filings with the Hong Kong stock exchange. That rnade him a substantial shareholder
when the call for the dealer's murder went out.

SJ001246

Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 00070

Appendix 2
When asked about Cheung, Nicholas Niglio, Neptune's chief operating officer, said; "I'm
not familiar with him at all."
After a reporter showed him Neptune's 2008 annual report listing tile firm's substantial
shareholders, including Cheung, Niglio declined to respond specifically. Cheung does
not appear in Neptune's 2009 annual report.
Niglio said Neptune wasn't a junket itself but invests in VIP junkets that operate at th.e
Sands Macau, the Venetian Macau and Galaxy Entertainment's StarWorld casinos. He
said Neptune now had a 20 percent stake in Hou Wan, a junket operator that runs
around 20 VIP tables at the Sands Macau.
In Neptune's public filings three years ago, Cheung was described as a ''merchant in
Hong Kong" whose company "generally does not engage in underwriting business and
has no underwriting experience as at the date of this announcement."
While Niglio described Neptune merely as an "investor" in junkets, trial testimony placed
Cheung inside the casino's private room
According to testimony by Siu Yun-ping, aka the "God of Gambling", who won about
HK$100 million ($12.9 million) between August 2007 and January 2008 at various
casinos, Cheung was "the person in charge" of the Chengdu Hall, one of the VIP rooms
that Siu frequented.
Las Vegas Sands, however, has said it maintains management of all its VIP rooms,
though it acknowledges working with gaming promoters to attract customers.
FRIGHTENED AWAY FROM THE SANDS
A triad member turned informant named Lau Ming-yee testified that he, and the five
men who would be convicted of engaging in triad activities, referred to Cheung as "the
boss."
Cheung, however, didn't appear in court and was not charged. Hong Kong police
declined to answer detailed inquiries on why this was so In an emailed response,
authorities acknowledged only that a 49-year-old man surnamed Cheung was arrested
in connection with the case but "released after legal advice was sought due to
insufficient evidence."
Attempts to determine Cheung's current whereabouts with the Hong Kong police and
U.S. gambling industry sources in Macau were unsuccessful.
The judge in last year's murder-for-hire case, Madame Verina Bokhary, said in passing
sentence that "I bear in mind of course that, behind the scenes, there is a person or are
persons even more blameworthy than any of them."

Appendix 2
In the summaries of the trial called "particulars of offense" the judge identified Cheung
by his Cantonese nickname, ''Tsang Pau," or "explosive money maker."
Siu, the "God of Gambling'' suspected of colluding with the dealer at the Sands Macau,
testified that he had been attacked, his house had been set aflame and that his son had
received threatening phone calls. "As a result of Tsang Pau (Cheung), he (the witness)
was frightened away from the Sands Casino,'; according to the judge's summary.
Macau's regulator Neves acknowledges that the junket business in Macau has links to
organized crime, though he says it is less prevalent and more under control than in the
past.
"This kind of business certainly involves people related to organized crime," he said.
"That's why we established the license for just a year Every year, they (the junket
operators) must renew the license.''
Asked specifically about whether Macau will strip the license from a casino operator if
the regulators discover that it is hiring a junket operator with links to organized crime.
Neves said: "It's separate. In principle, it doesn't affect the concessionaires."
Neves said he was informed by police of Cheung's alleged role in the murder-for-hire
case. But he described the accusations against Cheung as "rumors'' and said without
formal charges being brought against him, he would be free to continue to operate in
Macau.

"If he (was) condemned by the Hong Kong court ... if he was arrested and condemned ...
we wouldn't allow him to run the junket," he said. "In this kind of case we must deal very
carefully ... Sometimes if we use this (rumor) to deny the license, he can put us in
court"
Unlike Las Vegas, where casinos tend to have direct relationships with their VIP
customers. Macau's casinos rely on junket operators to bring them the majority of their
high rollers, who might easily lose US$1 million in an evening. [20100329 215035 GMT]
THE $64,000 BET
On a late Friday night in February, gamblers vvere exchanging wads of golden one
thousand Hong Kong dollar banknotes ($130) for expensive chips in the exclusive and
restricted VIP gaming rooms of the Sands Macau.
The labyrinth of rooms - decorated with classical Greek columns, Italian marble and
chandeliers -- were largely filled with mainland Chinese clients at high-stakes Baccarat
tables.
The atmosphere was smoky, hushed and privileged, as casino employees kept watch.
The rooms seemed a worid removed from the mass market gaming floors below.

SJ001248

Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 00072

Appendix 2
At the ''Luoyang" room, named after a gritty Chinese city, most gamblers were
Mandarin-speaking mainland Chinese, who constitute more than half of Macau's VIP
gamblers. As two Reuters reporters looked on, a middle-aged woman with diamond
bracelets staked a single HK$500,000 ($64,440) bet-- and shrugged off the loss.
A supervisor of the VIP floor and several employees said the Chengdu hall - the room
that Cheung Chi-tai ran, according to the court testimony -- has been renamed.
Most VIP gambling in Macau is leveraged: gamblers usually bet more than their cash on
hand. This is particularly true of mainland Chinese high-rollers who, because of Beijing's
strict capital controls, are limited to carrying the equivalent of US$5,000 in renminbi per
trip when they leave China. Macau's six pub!icly listed casino operators lend to only a
small minority of their patrons., according to company filings. That is because collection
of gambling debt is illegal in Chiha and Macau forbids casinos from writing off their bad
or uncollectable debts.
Concerned that junkets with possible links to organized crime could harm their
businesses, some U.S. casino executives were reluctant to enter Macau. Harrah's
Entertainment Inc [HAMLEH.UL], the world's largest casino operator, decided not to bid
for a gaming concession there. Michae! Chen, Harrah's president for Asia, said in an
interview with Reuters last year that the company worried that its regulators around the
world would not permit it to run casinos in Macau.
That issue was front and center in the official report released by New Jersey gaming
regulators in mid-March regarding MGM Mirage's partnership with Pansy Ho.
Regulators cited the junket influence within her father's VIP rooms as a prime concern.
''The VIP rooms in {Stanley Ho's) casinos provided organized crime the entry into the
Macau gaming market that it had previously lacked," the report said.
When Sands first won a license in Macau in 2002, it was paired with Hong Kong-based
casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group , but the U.S. company ultimately ended
the arrangement William Weidner. the former president of Sands, in a deposition for an
unrelated Nevada court case in 2007, cited Galaxy's intent to run the VIP rooms in the
traditional Macau style as one of the reasons for the split.
"These guys want to do VIP rooms the way they ... do them in Macau where the ... triad
guys run them because they're the only ones that can grant and collect credit in
mainland China, and they smuggle the renminbi across the border," he said. "I can't do
that business Thafs the way they want to do it, so I can't do it."
Sands' major competitor, Wynn Resorts , said the company would decline its Macau
gaming concession if it was barred from extending credit and coilecting debts directly in
an effort to avoid the junket system, according to company fiiings.
But the U.S. companies realized soon enough that they could not compete with local
casinos without junkets

SJ001249
PlaintiffEx. 1102_00073

Appendix 2
China's high rollers tend to prefer the personal. informal relationships of the junkets,
experts say, and often demand a level of anonymity incompatible with the credit
applications required by the casinos.

LOWER PROFILE
While triads remain active in Hong Kong, the gangs have burrowed deeper into
mainland China including cities like Chongqing and retain a strong imprint in Macau.
The triads are believed to have originated as a rebel grouping in the early Qing Dynasty
formed to help overthrow the Manchu regime.
Ko-lin Chin, a professor at Rutgers University and one of the foremost experts on Asian
organized crime, disputes the regulator's contention that the triads are less prevalent in
Macau. But he said they db keep a lower profile than before internationally owned
casinos entered the market and revenues grew from $2.26 billion to $i5 billion today.
Even if crime groups are involved in the junket business, he says, with the casinos
making so much money, the government reaping huge taxes, and the citizens of Macau
enjoying full employment there is scant political will to remove them.
"No one wants to crash the party,'' he said. "This is a feel-good story." (Reporting by

L INTRODUCTION
This Special Report to the New Jcrst:y Casino Control Commission ("Commission") sets forth
the tindings and recommendations of the New Jersey Division ofGnming EntrJrcemcnt ("Division")

regarding the joint venture between the New Jersey yualitied entity, MGJ'vl MIRAGE (''MGM"), and
Grand Paradise Macau, Limited, an entity wholly owned by Pansy Ho C'atilina Chiu King ("Pansy
Ho"), to develop and operate a casino in Macau. Special Administrative Rcglon, People's Republic of
China {"Macau''}. This joint venture resulted in the December ! 8, 2007 openingofthe MGM Grand
Macau, n casino in which MGM and Pansy Ho each hold a one-half interest.

in accordance with the Casino Control Act, NJ .S.A. 5:12-1 et seJL ("the Act"), l'v1GM, as a
licensed entity, bears the burden of establishing, by denr and convincing evidence,, its "good
t:haracter, honesty and integrity" on a eontinuing has is.

licensed entities that hold a once half ownership interest in f\-1arina District Deve.!opmcnt Company,

LLC, which, in tum, owns and operates the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa ("Borgata") in Atlantic
City, New Jersey.' The Act further recognizes that a licensee's "business, professional and personal
associates" are relevant in assessing the suitability of a licensee such as fv1GM. As the Commission
has noted, ''associations an: relevant only to the extent that they may rc!1ect upon actual character and
present fitness to either hold a casino license or participate in gaming operations." In re Resorts
Casino Application, 10 N.J.A.R. 251 (CCC !979). The Commission has also noted that "it is

Appendbt 3

incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate either that it had no involvement with notorious or

unsavory persons or that such invoivement indicates no iack of good character, honesty and integrity,"

This Special Report is the culmination of the Division's review of the MOM/Pansy Hn joint
venture to detem1ine whether this business association negatively a!Tects MGM's "good character,
2

honesty and intcgri!y." The Division's June 2005 report to the Cornmission in connection with the
renewal of the Borgata casino license referenced MGM's proposed casino operation in Macau and
MGM 's association with Pansy Ho. It infiJrmed the Commission that, "over !.he years there have been
numerous public allegations suggesting that Stanley Ho, the father of MGM 's joint venture partner

Pansy Ho, has ties to Asian organized crime." The n~port discussed the proposed joint venture with
Pansy Ho and signaled to the Commisshm that the Division would review this business relationship

and provide any marcrial information to the Commission as appropriate.


The Division investigated ali a<;pects of MUM's joint venture \vith Pansy Ho to detemTine
whether MGM's actions, as well as its present business association with Pansy Ho, were consistent
with the "good character, honesty and integrity" and compliance obhgations required by the Act
Pursuant to the Division's request, MGM'sjoint venture partner, Pansy Ho, and her sister, Daisy Ho,

submitted Multi-Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure Fomw ("MJ-PHD") in Jammry 2006 to

the outstanding shares nf MGM common stock and whieh is controlled by Kirk Kerkorian. Boyd A.t!antic City, lm:.

assist in the Division's investigation of the business association.

The investigation included 35

sworn interviews of seventeen individuals and numerous other investigative interviews. Attorneys
and investigators made several trips to Hong Kong and Macau, as well as a host of other locations,
both within and outside the United States, seeking information relevant to this investigation. In
addit10n, Division staff analyzed thousands of pages of dor..:uments, including e-mails and

e<mcspondence, and contacted numerous domestic and international law erdbrccmcnt and regulatory
authorities .

.A.s a starting point of the Division's analysis, the character and rt:putation of Stanley Ho, the
tather ofMGM'sjoint venture partner, precludes any t1nding other than that he is unsuitable. MGM
senior executives conceded his unsuitabflity during this investigation.

Furthennore, numerous

governmental and regulatory agencies have referenced Stanley Ho's associations with criminal
enterprises, including permitting organized crime to operate and thrive within his casinos. Stanley
Ho's unsuitability, and the obstacles that it posed to MGM in its eff(m to enter the Macau gaming
market by partnering with entities under his control, is at the root of the joint venture's fi.mnation and
current structure. In particular, upon conciuding that it could not partner with Stanley Ho or entities
under his control, and without conducting adequate due diligence on her suitability, MGM simply
substituted Pansy Ho as its joint venture partner despite her financial dependence upon Stanley Ho

and his

~ompanies.

'P:1n.~y Ho and Da.i;;y Ho voluntarily filed these limns with rhe Diviswn lor investigative purposes; neither is an
applicant for licensure.

SJ001257
PlaintiffEx.II02 00081

Appendix 3

Pansy Ho's extensive and continuing personal, financial, and professional relationship with
her father directiy affect her individual suitability and ieave her vulnerable to his potentia! influence
and controL She had no prior gaming experience before the joint venture, bringing to the partnership
primarily opportunities and influence provided by her business and personal relationship with her
father. Simply put, she has advanced professionally and accumulated wealth due to her father's

largesse, and she continues to hold leadership and governance positions in his companies. Indeed,
prior to MGM concluding that Stanley Ho and his companies were not a suitable partner, Pansy Ho
participated as his company's representative at the negotiations with MGM. Ultimately, ninety
percent of the fimds on which she relied to fund the joint venture derived from her fitther. Her
interactions with other persons associated with Asian organized crime also call into question her
individual suitability. Together, Pansy Ho's susceptibility to her finhcr's intluencc and issues of
personal suitability render the joint venture and MGM vulnerable to improper assodations and
influences and compromise iVtGM 's suitability as a New Jersey licensed entity.

Moreover} MOM's compliance failings during the fonnation and consummation of the joint
venture were pervasive and persistent, suggesting that the company's fervor to entering Macau
compromised its commitment to regulatory compliance. Throughout the ~}rocess, the communications
between MGM's management and its own Compliance Committee ("Committee") were, taken in the
most favorable light, incomplete and untimely, effectively negating the Committee's ability to engage
constructively and critically in the company's entry into Macau. MGM officials failed to keep the

Committee apprised of the parties with whom it was negotiating. Regarding these parties, MGM

failed to share with the Committee the due diligence or derogatory information that the company

SJ001258
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00082

Appendix 3

possessed. Additionally, l'vtGM failed to examh1e the most clitical aspects of Pansy Flo's suitability,
numely, her ability to finance her contribution to the joint venture and her independence from her

father and

tlll~

companies that he controls. In short, this is not an instance where MGM 's research and

due diligence led it to conclude that Pansy Ho was indepmdent from her father; rather, MGM simply
faded to explore the issue of her t1nancial independence. At the same time, MGM also failed to
adequately disciose the limited information it did possess rei evant to its review of the Pansy Ho joint
venture to regulators from New Jersey, as welf as other jurisdictions. This conduct renders MOM's
compliance efforts related to the Macau joint venture inadequate and insufficient to fulfill its
obligations under the Act.

legalized gaming has long been Macau's chief economic engine. By the end of the nineteenth
century, gaming tax revenues had already become the main source of income for the government of
Macau.

For most of the twentieth century, the Macanese gaming industry has operated under

monopoly ownership. In i 937, Macau granted monopoly gaming concession rights to Tai Heng. ln

July !961, Macau opened ownership of a 25-year casino monopoly to public bidding, Two groups
offered bids. Tni Heng, who nt that point still held the monopoly, led the first group. The second
group consisted of Ho Hung Sun, hereinaiter teferred to as Stanley Ho; Henry Fok, a wealthy Hong

(STOM") and, in Jum~ 1962, signed a gaming concession contract with the Macau government.
STDM opened its firs! casino, Casino Estori!, in ! 962. ln 1970, STDM opened its flagship casino,
The Lisbon.

STDM's control of gaming in Macau proved extremely lucrative for the company and Stanley
Ho. By the mid-1980's, Stanley Ho had gained control ofSTDM. DUling its forty years of monopoly

over Macau's gaming industry, STDM became one of the largest private business enterprises in
Macau, with investments in transportation, hospitality and tourism services, banking, and finance.
Stanley Ho' s personal net \VOrth has been estimated most recently at approximately $l bil!ion. a

Asian organized crime, attracted by the f,rrowing gaming market and accommodated by the
establishment ofVJP rooms in STDM casinos, penetrated the Macau gaming market. Beginning in
the early 1990's and continuing until the transfer of sovereignty to China in ! 999, Macau experienced
a wave of violence as A:>ian organized crime enteq>rises, known as "triads," stmggled for control of
the pdvate, high-stakes "VIP" rooms in STD1vl's casinos. As a report prepared by the Library of
Congress observed, "[t]op individuals in the triad structure often have established reputations as
9

legitimate businessmen." The VIP room structure, introduced in 1986, facilitated the involvement of
Asian organi:.ed crime in STDM casinos. Upon receipt ofun up-fiwlt fee for the right to operate in
one of the gaming rooms, STDM relinquished control of the VIP rooms to third party operators. The
third party ,)peratnrs would then enter into business arrangements with junket operators or'promoters

who market and promote the VfP rooms to attract customers. The VfP room operators would then
compensate the junket operators on a commi'lsion basis.

The VIP rooms in the STDM casinos provided organized crime the entry into the Macau
gaming nwrket that it had previously lacked. According to one commentator, before STDM brought
in third parties to manage the VIP rooms, "the power of triad societies was Iimited because they did
not have direct administrative access in the casinos[.]" 10 With the establishment of the VIP rooms,
however, STDM created a "lawless space" that allowed organized crime to gain a foothold in the
Macau gaming industry. 11 This expert noted that the VIP room operator would employ his friends or
"triad brethren" to hdp operate the room, serve as sales agents, and provide protection and other
"ancillary" services (e.g., drugs, prostitution, loansharking, and debt collection). 1! Another scholar
noted that. "organized crime in Macau's casino industry began to grow in the wake ofthe STDM's
administrative decentralization."

anni.lally by the United States State Department, observed that ''[uJnder the old monopoly framework,

MACAU OPENS IT_S G..6MINO lND\JSTRY TO GREATER COMPETITIQ[i


Soon after becoming a special administrative region of China in 1999, Macau moved to

expand and encourage competition within its gaming industry. fn December J 999, pursuant to a
treaty between Portugal and China, Macau reverted to Chinese sovereignty. A!mosl immediately
thereafter, and in the context of Macau's pervasive gaming-related violence, Edmund Ho, the newlyappointed chief executive of Macau, announced a review of the casino gaming industry. 15 fn July
2000, the government formed the l'vlncau Gaming Committee, which conducted that limited
competition among several gaming operators would stimulate the economy and prornott\ tourism. In
/\.ugust 200 l, the Legislative Assemhly passed a law providing that three gaming eLm cessions would

be granted upon the December Jl, 200 t expiration of STDM's monopoly concession. The law
required that each bidder t<.1r a concession htlVc a local partner who held at !east a l 0% interest in the
casino venture.

The bidding and award process for the three concessions happened quickly. On October 30,
2001, the government timned an eight-member Casino Concessions Committee ("Concessions
Committee") responsible tiJrcoordinating the tt:ndering process, receiving and reviewing the bids, and
making recommeudations to the Macau Chief Executive. T'he Concessions Committee accepted
twenty-one bids between November 2, 200 l and December 7, 2001. MOM submitted its bid on

December 4, 2001. On february 8, 2002, the govemment announced the results of the bidding
process. The government granted a concession to the following entities: Sociedade de Jogos de

Macau, S.A. C'SJM"), the company created and owned by STDM for the purpose of applying for a
gaming license; Wynn Resorts; and, Galaxy Casino, S.A.("Galaxy") and

Vem~tian

Macau Group

(''Venetian Macau"), a venture formed by Galaxy Casino owners Lui Che Woo and Peter Ho On
Chun and Venetian Macau, a wholly owned subsidiary ofthe Las Vcgas Sands Corporation. Two of
the successful bidders- Las Vegas Sands Corporation and Wynn Resorts- are Nevada competitors of

MGfvL In announcing the winning bidders, the government also announced the fburth- through sixthranked proposals. The Concessions Committee ranked MOM's bid filth.

The government ultimately granted three subconcessions, one for each concession. The
;,:ubconccssions allowed groupt: other than the original three top bidders to establish r.:asinos in Mac<tu .
.In December, 2002, the Macau government split the Galaxy concession and authorized the granting
of a subconces~ion to be held by Sheldon Adelson and the Venetian Macau. ln April 2005, the
government approved the grant of a subconcession by SJM to the MOM/Pansy Ho joint venture.

Finally, in September 2006, the Macau govemment approved Wynn Resorts' grant of a subconcession
to a group comprised of James Packer and Lawrence Ho, Stanley r-Io's son. Accordingly, the Macau
govemment has issued a total of six casino concessions or subconcessions in the Macau gaming
market, with members of Stanley Ho's family involved in three ofthe six.

The Macau gaming industry has expanded significantly since the issuance of the concessions.
As of March 31, 2008, the number of casinos in Macau has increased from II in 2002 to 29, with

year 2007, these revenues increased to $10.38 billion, an amount that exceeded casino revenues in
2007 for Nevada's Las Vegas Strip ($6.83 billion}. By way of further comparison, casino revenue for
the entire state ofNevada in 2007 was $12.85 billion.

IV. !YJQfy[$..J~EFORTS TO ENTER THE MACAU GAMfNG 1\:"it\J:\_~g_J.:

The belief of senior MGM ot1icials that MGM had to pursue entry into the Macau market or
risk being at a competitive disadvantage to its counterparts in Nevada motivated the company's
concerted effixts to secure gaming rights in Macau. In testimony before the Nevada Gaming Control
Board ("NGCB"), the a~;ency responsible for regulating the gaming indnsoy in Nevada, Gary Jacobs
testified that MGM's "Nevada operations would he significantly disadvantaged if our competitors,
Wynn Resorts and Li.ls Vegas Sands, are in that market [Macau] while MGM Mirage is not." MUM's
own analysis and research concluded that, despite its turbulent past, Macau's gamingmal'ket could be
a potentially lucrative investment for the company.

As discussed in detail below, MGf'v1 pursued partnerships with several entities in an effort to
fashion a workable venture Ihat would meet regulatory approval. In its efforts to develop a viable bid
to enter the iv1acau gaming market, MOM held discussions in the spring of 2001 with potential
partners in Macau. Throughout 2001, MGM discussed and pursued various torms of partnership with
several individuals and entities. MCiM executives testified that they were constantly approached by
outside parties pitching potentia! opportunities and claiming to have the necessary local contacts to

secure one of the gaming concessions. It began its exploration of entry into the Macau market with
New World Development ("NWD"), a Hong Kong conglomerate led by Cheng Yu-Tung, an

individual with extensive and longstanding associations with Stanley Ho, and Chan Siu Hung
("Chan"), an individual involved in several VIP moms, After learning that it was not selected for a
concession in February 2002, MGM then sought to patiner with Shun Tak and operate under SJM's
concession, entities prominent in Stanley lJo's empire. After Nevada regulators voiced concerns over

the proposed arrangement with those corporate entities, in the tall of2003 MGM began discussions to
partner directly with Pansy Ho, the daughter of Stanley Ho, which culminated in a joint venture
arrreement entered into in June 2004.

the MGM Executive Committee authorized the negotiation of a joint venture agreement with NWD.
NWD representatives included its director and chainnan, Cheng Yu-Tung, and his son and l'v1anaging
Director of NvVD, Henry Cheng Kar-Shun ("Henry Cheng"). Cheng Yu-Tung has had extensive
business relations with Stanley Ho, is a substantial shareholder of STDM, and holds govemance
positions on the boards of both STDM and Shun Tak. Chan was also involved in the discussions M
behalf of NWD. Chan and Chen Yu-Tung had established VIP rooms together in three differenl

On December 4. 200 l , MGM submitted its bid to the Concessions Committee without naming a local
partner. On December 6, 200 I, a private investigation firm retained by MGM provided MGM
Corporate Security a background investigation report on Chan. While the report noted that Chan had
no criminal n:cord in Macau, it stated that "Chan is directiy involved in the VfP rooms of the Casinos
that are notorious

tor triad

activities, He is in partnership in one of thest: with CHENG Yu-tong a

partner and associate of Stanley Ho." Edwards prepared and provided to Jacobs an MGf'vl iv1IRAGE
Corporate Security Report on Chan. ba~ed on the background investigation report, The report
indicated that"[ L]aw ent~1rcement and private sources show no criminal arrests or convictions in Hong
Kong." Noting Chan's role in operating ihree VIP rooms, the report commentrA.i ihat "[t]hese VIP
rooms are notorious f()r triad activities" and that, according to sources, "it is nearly impossible to be in
the casino business in Macau at present, without having associations with triad groups or what is
known as organized clime:' By memorandum dated January 4, 2002, Jacobs fonvarded Edwards'
Chan report to Terrence Lanni and Kenneth Rosevear, noting that Edwards' "cautionary note
concerning 'associations' with individuals invoived with organized crime are probably inevitable fbr
people in the casino business in Macao under the old regime,"

[n the event one of the three successful bidders could not finalize its a~o>rcement or another
opportunity arose, MGM continued to seek a iocal partner even aiter not receiving one of the initial

In the event that any of the top three bidders were unable to finalize an

representatives of New City

In a MHrch 25, 2002 letter to Henry Cheng and Chan, as

(~asino

Ltd., Lanni stated that MGM maintained "a keen interest"in

obtaining a concession should one become available. The Jetter proposed a joint venture that would
be owned 40% and 20{%, respectively, by an entity or entitles led by Henry Cheng and Chan, and
noted that MOM "contemplate[ d) that Johnny Chan \.Vould serve as Executive Director of MGM
Grand Macan," The letter concluded that "we are ready, willing and able to proceed with discussions
with you on the basis outlined above," with the caveat that the proposed stmcture was "subject to the
approval of the govemment of Macao S.A.R. and the gaming regulators to which we are subject." By
.func 2002 each of the entities granted an initial concession had l:xecuted a gaming concessions
contract with the l'v"iacau government and MGM's conversations with N\VD, Cheng, and Chan
proceeded no further.

MG.M signed and delivered the March 25, 2002 letter proposing a partnership despite its own
internal due diligence noting the connections between Chan, the VIP rooms, a11d organized crime.
Although both Lanni and Jacobs later testified that tht~y had reservations about Henry Cheng as a
partner, the letter suggests that the company would have entered the Macau market with Cheng and
Chan as partners had the opportunity arose.

B.

MOM'S OVERTURES TO STANLEY HO

MGM continued in its attempt to enter the Macau market. As Jacobs stated, "we licked our
vmunds for a bit, and then tried to analyze whether there were any other opportunities for us to enter
15

SJ001269
Plaintiff Ex. II 02 00093

Appendix 3

the Macau market." In interviews with the Division. Jacobs stated that MOM had "no appetite
whatsoever" to consider a partnership with those concessionaires who competed with MOM in the
Nevada market, namely, Wynn Resmis and Las Vegas Sands. This decision to exclude its Nevada
competitors tiom consideration Jefl SJM, the entity established by Stanley Ho and STDM, as the sole
remaining concessionaire.

MGfvl <wproached SJM through outreat:.h to Stanley Ho in spring 2002. Philip Wang, who had
known Stanley Ho on a social basis, testified that he sought prior approval tiom Lanni before

cont11cting Ho. 17 Lanni testified in direct contradiction that he v1as not aware that Wang was going to
contact Stanley Ho. 18 Wang stated that contacting Stantey Ho ''was really a wild card. At the time,
we were very desperate." He testified that Lanni said it was a "crazy idea" but said to "give it a shot."
Wang met with Stanley Ho ut Ho's office, and then

to Ilowed up the meeting with a phone call.

On

both occasions, Stanley Ho responded, ''are you serious?" Wang stated that, during the phone call, be
replied "we [MGiv1J arc very, very serious." He testified that Stanley Ho advised him that he would
"be leaving with a t,rroup of people, some family members and some of my business associates to the
United States, and we [will] see what happens.'' Wang stated that he infmmedLanni of Stanley Ho's
future visit. Both agreed that it would be appropriate for MGM to host a dinner for Ho and his family
in Las Vegas.

Stanley Ho designated Pansy Ho as his representative in discussions with MGM.

Las Vegas in April 2002. The Ho party accepted MOM's invitation to stay at u IVfGM property, the
Mansion at MGM Grand, during their visit. During this trip, members of the Ho patiy, including
Stanley [lo and Pansy Ho, had dinner with Lanni, Wang, and MGM majority shareholder Kirk
Kerkorian. Wang testified that Stanley Ho stated to him after the dinner that, "from now on I wam
you to start the discussion and my daughter Pansy Ho will be my representative negotiating \Vith you."
Lanni simi.larly recailed that Stanley Ho designated Pansy Ho as his representative in the
negotiations. Wang indicated that no further discussions with Stanley Ho occUlTed during the April

2002 trip.

Pansy Ho testitied that she made it clear to Rosevear that because she was the Managing
Director of Shun Ta.k, she would be representing Shun Tak, and not SJM, in the negotiations. She
also ttstificd that Stanley Ho had concluded that "of course SJM i3 not going to work with [MGMJ as
in becoming p~rrtners, there's no reason. I mean they're competitors at best."

Regardless of the particular entity that Pansy Ho wa:> representing during the initial
discussions, STDM, Shun Tak, and SJ M have significant governance and ownership overlap. Stanley

is the largest individual shareholder of both STD!v1 and Shun Tak. As of June 30, 2008, five

,'lER\::_'(NG AS R_EPRJ;SENTATIVE OF STA"t:/LEY.H9 AND SHUN TAK
MGM pursued its efforts to partner with Shun Tak, initially, and, then, Pansy Ho individually,

despite the warnings of regulators and its own due diligence on Stanley Ho and his companies.
Throughout the remainder of 2002 and through the summer of 2003, MGM and Pansy Ho,
participating in her corporate capacity as managing director of Shun Tak and as her father's
representative, negotiated and reached agreement on various aspects of a joint venture, including
ownership, control, and the venture's arrangement with SJtv1, the holder ofthe gaming concession.

By July 2003, the parties intended to travel to Jvfacau in September to discuss the venture with
~.,:1acanese

regulators. i\-n intervening request by Nevada regulators fur discussions on the proposed

joint venture struc:ture convinced MGM ofi1dals that the proposed joint venture, as the parties had
conceived it, would likely not meet regulatory approval because of the involvement of companies
owned and controlled by Stanley Bo. Rather than abandon the joint venture, Pansy Ho, individually,
replaced Shun Tak as the joint venture partner, the Macanese government reversed its position on
granting any additional subconcessions, and SJM agreed to convey the subconcession to the joint
venture at what MGM has acknowledged was a bargain price. This section will discuss the broad
parameters of these negotiations insofar as they are pertinent to the final structure of the joint venture.

Following the April 2002 dinner conversation, Shun Tak and MGM began exploratory
discussions on September 9 and 10,2002, in Las Vegas regarding a joint venture between the parties.

18

SJ001272

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00096

Appendix 3

Pansy Ho and CY Wong participated on behalf of Shun Tak. L8tmi, Rosevear, Kenneth Feng, and
Wang participated on behalf of MGM. Wong testified that MGM was "quite responsive" to the
suggestion of a possible joint venture with Shun Tak and MOM owning 51 percent I 49 percent,
respectively. The parties proceeded to work together to produce a financial business model. In early
October, Feng and Patrick Crockett, an MGM development executive, went to Hong Kong to meet
with Wong. Later that month, Lanni and Rosevear met with Pansy Ho and Wong in Hong Kong.

After additional meetings and subsequent discussions, the parties produced a general outline

of the joint venture. As rdlcetcd in a February 4, 2003, document, major characteristics of the joint
venture included:

Ownership: MG!Vt MIRAGE/Shun Tak project ownership in


the ratio of 49%/51 %;

Size of venture: MGM MfRAGE and Shun Tak would make


t:quity contributions of $88.4M and $92.1 M. respecttvely;

was that the rooms would have to operate in a manner that satisfied the 'standards of United States

casino regulators. Furthermore, MGM maintained that all persons involved in VIP room operations
would have to be investigated in a manner that satisfied United States casino regulators.

Several issues reiating to operational control of the joint venture and the nature of SJM's
involvement remained unresolved. Regarding operational control, MGM maintained that it would

accept minmity ownership in the venture if it had an equal role in all signiticant operations decisions.
Pansy Ho insisted that she hold the title of Managing Dirt:ctor. Jacobs testified that MGM's concerns
regarding that condition were ( 1) Pansy I-lo 's lack of garning experience; and (2) accountability to
other regulators, particularly those in the United States. Jacobs testified that

~KiM

was concerned

about Pansy Ho's abi!ity to run the project "because at that time she was not knowledgeable in the
gaming areas and in compliance."

The second outstanding issue related to the joint venture's business relationship with

snvt

Per Jacobs, ''it was generally understood that no matter what the tonn of the transaction, the substance
had to be that SJM had to be passive and could not operate," due to the nature of public allegations
relating to Stanley Ho, his ownership and control of SJM, and anticipaied regulatory concerns
regarding these aHegations. 10 MGM concluded that joint venture payments to SJ!vl made pursuant to
an income formula would be sufficient to render SJM a passive participant. Jacobs testified that, at
this stage of the negotiations, Pansy Ho understood that !'vlGM could not enter into any type of
relationship with her fflther.

MOM's due diligence and back:;,rround reports provided MGM executives with derogatory

infonnation regarding Stanley Ho and Pansy Ho 's fom1er husband. In the early stages of negotiations
with Shun Tak in March 2003, Jacobs directed MGM's Corporate Security Department to investigate
the backgrounds of Shun Tak, Stanley Ho, Pansy Ho, and Daisy Ho.

In a March 7, 2003,

memorandum to Jacobs about Stanley Ho and Shun Tak, Edwards referenced a commercial fraud

investigation in Hong Kong during the 1990s that involved Tomson Group/World Trade Centre,

companies of which Stanley Ho was either a director or chairman. The memorandum detailed
numerous material derogatory allegations about Stanley Ho personally. It noted that Australian
gaming .authorities had found that Stanley Ho was "unsuitable to hold a gaming license,'' and added

that a 1992 United States Senate committe': investigation had conducted that Stanley Ho, while not a
member of Asian organized crime, associated wi!h individuals and business associates who were
members.

The March 7, 2003 memorandum also commented on Pansy Ho. It noted that, in August
2000, Pansy l-lo had a relationship with Gilbe1t Yeung Kei-tung ("GilbeJt Yeung"), the son ofYeung,
Sau Shin g. Albert ("Albert Yeung"). Edwards explained in the memorandum that "Gilbert Yeung is
the :>on of Albert'( eung a convicted felon tbr illegal bookmaking." A handwritten notation by Jacobs
on the memorandum indicates that he fonvarded it to Lanni, Rosevear, and James Murren. Later that
month, on March 25, 2003, Edwards incorporated the various allegations of the l\1arch 7, 2003
memorandum into a draft MGM Mirage Corporate Secunty Background Report. In the transmittal

21

SJ001275
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00099

Appendix 3

memorandum accompanying the background report, Edwards indicated that he had retained a private
investigation firm to do further research. The memorandum also advised Jacobs that "(i}fthere is any
information you specifically need please tell and I will have them do the work. Upon each update I
will torward to you the information .. ,

The private investigation finn submitted several investigative reports to MGM that
documented derogatory infom1ation regarding Stanley Ho and Pansy Ho. [n an e-mail dated March
14, 2003, the private investigation tirm concluded that triads or persons associated with triads
operated the VIP rooms in !be SJM casinos. The private linn also noted that Stanley Ho was ''linked
closely" to the two major triads operating in Macau, the 14K and Sun Yee On. The finn also reported
on its invcstigatiotl into Shun Tak, discussing the extent oftbe Ho enterprises, the substantial business
connections between Shun Tak and STDivt, and other ''cross pollination" betv.reen the two entities. H
referenced the inl1uence of the Ho family, noting that the family, through their v<uious associations
and interests, controlled most aspects of business in Macau and had substantial influe-nce \Vith the
Macau govemment.

A report by the ti1m further discussed the involvement of organized crime in Stanley Ho 's
casinos. lt observed that "[t]he alieged Triad involvement in the VIP gaming rooms has been
documented and corroborated information from two confidential sources" and concluded that "[tjhere

is no doubt that he [Stanley Ho Jwould have to and has interacted with Triads and must have dealings
with them, by vi tim; ofthe VIP rooms and other projects." The report a!sn included a chart listing 48

VfP rooms, the individuals believed to be in charge of each room, and those individuals' triad
association. T'he report stated ''that the majority of VIP rooms are in establishments that are either
owned, controlled or a shareholding is held by one of[Stanley Ho'sJ group of companies." While the
report noted that it had ibund no "definitive evidence" ihat Stanley Ho "is associated with, is a

22

Appendix 3

member of or is a leader of a Triad Society nor has be been convicted of any such offense," it
commented that "[Stanley HoJ has been associated with such [conuption) offenses in Hong Kong,
Philippines and Canada, but no charges were ever brought against him."
The report also discussed Stanley flo's "strong tics" to North Korea and noted that a casino
located there "is ostensibly said to be owned by a reputed (but never convicted) senior Triad member
Albert Yeung Sau Shing (alleged senior office bearer of the Sun Yee On), who also controls the
Emperor Group a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. "

21

In discussing Stanley I-Io's

c.asino presence in North Korea, the report stated that "Wong Sing Wah (owns

t\.'!O

VIP rooms),

another suspected senior Triad member, is alleged to be a partner with SH [Stanley Hoj in a casino in

North Korea."

The finn aiso documented Pansy Ho's personal relationships and her importance in Stanley
Ho's companies. The finn's March 14, 2003 e-mail to Edwards noted that Pansy Ho had been
married to Julian Hui (''Hui"), who operated a nightclub in Hong Kong,
fn a separate repati, the finn noted that Stanley Ho bad named Pansy Ho as
'his heir apparent" and that she was 'actively involved in most facets of the day-to-day operations of
two key companies in the Ho Empire: Shun Tuk Holdings Ltd. and STDM." It also stated that Pansy
H.o had no record of any crimina! or corruption offenses and that the report's author was unable to
obtain any intelligence reports on Pansy Ho.

Edwards distilled the various reports tlom the private investigation tirm into two MGM
MIRAGE Corporate Security Backt,>round reports that set foith substantial derogatory infonnation
regarding primarily Stanley Ho, with some discussion of Pansy Ho. One tepoti was seven pages: the

other was five pages. They omitted some derogatory irdi.Jmlation contained m the investigative
theaJieged triad involvement of

rcpo11S and c-m.ails, including

Albert Yeung. Both reports were unsigned and undated and the seven-page report was stamped
"DRAFT. "~ 2 The reports stated that there ''is no doubt that by virtue of the setups of the VIP rooms,
Stanley has interacted with individuals that are members of Triads." The longer report also contained
detailed aliegations of Stanley flo's involvement with members of Russian organized crime; his

t::asino in Pyongyang, North Korea; and his relationship with Wong Sing Wah. The repmi identified
\Vong Sing Wah as a VIP room operator, a suspected triad member, and us an individual with ties to
North Korea. ft also noted press reports that, in a January 2003 meeting with a senior ofticial of the
Russian Consu.late, Stanley Ho, "claiming that he was acting on behalfofthe highest North Korean
authorities, offered to facilitate the movement of Saddam Hussein, his family and other senior Iraqi
leaders. to North Korea." The repoltS did not discuss Pansy Ho's relationship with Hui. Edwards
sent both reports to Jacobs.

On March 20, 2003, Lanni and Jacobs also received. derogatory due (iiligencc infom1ation
regarding Stanley Ho directly from Alan Feldman, MGM's Senior Vice President of Public Relations.

MGM'S PROPOSED JOINT VENTURE WITH SH1)NTAK AND SJM
Although MGM senior executives maintained during their testimony that the company would

not do business with Stanley Ho, MGM pursued plans to enter the Macau gaming market with two

companies in which StHnley Ho had controlling ownership and held leadership positiOns: Shun Tak
and SJivf. ln early 2003, Jacobs discussed MGM 's joint venture plans with individual members ofthe
NGCB. Jacobs testified that, very early in the dialogm.\ a NGCB board member advised MGM that
an affiliation or association with Stanley Ho "was going to cause some difl1culties for our regulators."
Jacobs recalled receiving a telephone call from MOM's outside counsel to discuss what he
characterized as a NGCB member's "t,>rave reservations" about the proposed structure of the joint
venture. Counsel also advised I acobs that the same Board member had stated that "Nevada really had
a problem with this strw:;ture because of the participation

because of Dr- Ho and SJM's income stream

r.}"

[n an attempt to address these concerns, MGM pursued a .,vritten statement fiorn Macau
regarding the probity of Stanley Ho despite derogatory due diligence wits possession. On March 18,
2003, Jaeobs advised the MOM Executive Committee that "in fin]fom-tal conversations with members

25

SJ001279

Plaintiff Ex. 11 02 001 03

Appendix 3

of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, reservations were expressed concerning this involvement by
Mr. [Stanley] Ho.'' The minutes ofthis meeting note thai Jacobs ''had requested (and Ms. Ho agreed
to provide) a written statement from the government of Macau S.A.R., to the effect that it had
investigated and was satist1ed as to the probity of Mr. Ho. Jacobs said that such a finding would be
essential to support the company's own probity review and to allay the concerns of Nevada and

possibly other regulators.'' Jacobs later testitled, "my thinking was that ... ifMaeau were prepared to
provide documentation and/or support ofthe probity of Dr, Ho and his enterprises, that that would be
a useful piece of evidence to present to Nevada."

Despite the Nevada gaming regulators' preliminary indication of concerns, MGM and Shun

,rak proceeded to

negotia.t(..~

the tcnns of the pro_posed joint venture throughuut the spring of 2003.

The negotiations continued to focus on operational control and the ret,'Ulatory viability of SJM as a
partic.ipant in the joint venture. Pansy Ho maintained that she, as a representative of Shun Tak, must
be the Managing Director. Jacobs responded that, due to "the realities that MGM Mirage must deal
with at our regulatory and board level make it clear that we cannot go fonvard without demonstrating
that MUM has operational control over t.he joint venture."

MGM reached n&Teement with Pansy Ho, on behalf of Stanley Ho and Shun Tak, on the
structure of a joint venture that would develop, construct, and operate hotellresOJi gaming complexes
in Macau. By July 2003, the parties had agreed on the "salient aspects" of the structure of an MGM-

Shun Tak joint venture that still involved entering into a management agreement with SJM. On July
31, 2003. Pansy Ho, as the Managing Director of Shun Tak, and Lanni, as Chainnan of the Board and

CEO ofMGM, exchanged reciprocal letters acknowledging that the parties had reached a consensus
regarding the structure oft he joint venture. They further noted that they were prepared to recommend

to theirrcspcctive Boards of Directors that the project proceed but only after the parties consult with
their prospective regulators to determine whether the regulators expressed any materiaf objections or
concems to the proposed joint venture. A document titled "Proposed Casino JVC Structure," dated
July 31, 2003, retlectcd those mutually agreed principles and arrangements that both MGM and Shun
Tak were prepared to recommend to their respective boards of directors. With the general structure
for an MG.M-Shun Tak partnership

place, MGlvi executives planned to travel to Macau in

September to resolve several outstanding issues with SJ M and to present the joint structure to Macau
regulatory authorities.

Nevada regulators continued to indicate to MGM that partnering with entities controiled by

Stanley Ho was problematic. Prior to the proposed September 2003 meeting with regulators in

Macau, on August 15, 2003, a staff member of the NGCB requested that Jacobs meet with a board
member and staffto 'discuss specitical!y and not generally" MOM's plans in Macau. Pursuant to that
request, on August 26, 2003, Jacobs, Lanni, and William Hornbuckle, met with NGCB member
Bobby Siller (''Siller") and NGCB staff Siller advised that he was aware of information about
Stanley Ho that was very troubling. Specifically, he raised concerns about Stanley Ho's alleged
organized crime connections, issues involving loansharking and debt collection at his Macau casinos,
and Stanley Ho' s experiences with other casino regulatory agencies. V/hile Siller noted that he could
not speak for the other two members of the Board, he advised the

MGlV1 executives that any

27

SJ001281

Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 001 05

Appendix J

transaction involving Stanley Ho would necessitate a fi.lll investigation and some type of public
suitability hearing in Nevada. Silier indicated that gaining approval for such a venture would be a
''very difficult path," and he advised that he, as a member of the NOCB, would not support any
agreement that included Stanley Ho, Shun Tak, SJM, or STDM. For their part, the MGM executives
did not present at the meeting any of the due diligence, background reports, or other records in their
possession that contained due diligence, derogatory or otherwise, concerning Stanley Ho. To the
contra.ty, MGM executives advised Siller that they had no "smoking gun'' related to negative
inf(Jm1ation about Stanley Ho.

On August 26, 2003, the same date as the meeting between MGM otTicia!s, Siller and NGCB
staff~

Siller received a letter signed by Secretary Francis Tam Pak Yeun (''Secretary Tam"), a high-

ranking Macanese government otncial, but largely written by Jacobs and Pansy Ho's attorney, David
Stannard. 23 The August 1, 200J letter, signed by Macau's Secretary for Economy and Finance, was
written pursuant to Jacobs's request noted in the March 18, 2003 meeting of the MGM Exeeutive
Committee. The letter stated that the rv1acanese Government was seeking to "maintain the highest
possible standards in the conduct ofits gaming facilities," including ensuring that "the operation and
running of casino gaming is conducted in a manner which is tair, honest and free ofthe influence of
criminal activities." It further indicated thai the Macau government had conducted a thorough
background investigation on SJM and Shun Tak and had found both entities suitable, as well as their
directors, holders of 5% or more of its share capital and its ultimate controlling shareholders. Further
33

On August 7, 2003, Wong emailed signed copies of the Secretary Tam letter to Jacobs. Wong also
testified that he gave the stgned original version of these letters to W(lng t-or delivery to Nevada. The Secretary Tam
kuer received by Siller was R signed origimi.l that was sl;unped "Received Angusl26, 2003.'' This is the same date as

review of the August I, 2003 letter and MGM's internal documents reveals that, in large part, Jacobs,
wiih some assistance from Stannard, wrote almost verbatim the Secretary Tarn letter endorsing the
suitability of Shun Tak, SJM and, by implication, Stanley Ho, due t<l his status as director and
shareholder of those companies.

The assertions contained in Secretary Tum's letter notwithstanding, however, the meeting with
Siller led MGM executives to conclude that the joint venture in its current fonn would not obtain
regulatory approval in Nevadn.

On September 16, 2003, Jacobs informed MGM's Executive

Committee that, ''i()r regulatory reasons it would be necessary to deal directly with the Macau
government, as distinct from participating in the market through an existing concessionaire and that
the Company was exploring the feasibility uf such an approach." In early September, 2003, MGM
exeeutives met with Stanley Ho to advise him personally ofNevada's regulatory concerns. Jacobs.
Hombuckk, and Wang met with Stanley Ho, .Pansy Ho, Daisy Ho, Wong, and other advisors at Shun
Tak's Hong Kong corporate offices, Jacobs testified that he advised Stanley Ho that MGM could not
partner with him because of regulatory concerns expressed by Nevada regulators. According to
Jacobs, Stanley Ho was "upset" by the news.

Later that month, after Stanley Ho had teamed that MGM would be unable to partner with
Shun Tak, the Macanese government reversed course on the granting of additional subconcessions.
The government inf(mm::d MGM that it would allow SJM to issue a subconcession tin an MGM

<:asino, According to Jacobs, Jorge Oliveira, the head of the Macau Legal Commission, urged MGM
to ''rnnve quickJy ~ to reach a definitive agleernenl with Pansy [HoJ.H

MGM and Pansy Ho, in her individual capadty, explored different structures for a joint
venture arrangement that would, in their views, meet regulatory approva! while providing Pansy Ho
sufficient involvement in the enterprise, Countering an MGM proposal that would have given Shun

Tak a purely passive, 11()rFvoting role in <\joint venture, Pansy Ho suggested that she replace Shun
T ak as the subconcession holder. By early November 2003, MGM was negotiating with Pansy Ho
individuatly, Jacobs tcsbfied that, despite Prrnsy Ho 's lack of gaming experience, Iv1GM did not
consider any partner other than Pansy Ho because of her influence with SJM. Both he and Rosevear
acknowledged that the father-daughter relationship of Stanley Ho and Pansy Ho was instrumental in
SJM being willing to dea! with MGM. As Ja...:obs testit1ed,

Well, the way [ would more characterize it is that MGM, with any
other partner, would not have been able to, in my judgment, obtain a
subconcession from SJM. Clearly, it was in relationship- she was
the duughter and they were more amendable [sic] to allowing such a
transaction.
As Rosevear noted, "we recognized that [Pansy Ho] had potential influence that others wouldn't

have,"

In November 2003, MGM and Pimsy Ho met individually with members of the NGCB to

apprise them of the modit'ications to tlwjoinl ventun; and to introduce them to Pansy Ho, At least
rwo of the NGCB mcmber.s. reiterated their serious concerns about the suitability of Stantey Ho,
noting that their concerns also extended to Shun Tak, as welL The NGCB members, aware of Pansy
Ho 's leadership position in Shun Tak but unaware of any issues relating to her persona! suitability,
30

SJ001284
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00108

Appendix 3

advised MOM that it could proceed with a proposed joint venture with Pansy Ho individually. Jacobs
later testi tied that, while the individual NGCB members indicated that MGM could further pursue an
association with Pansy Ho, this preliminary indication did nor mean that they had officially approved
Pansy Ho's suitability, her independence, or the business association.

\Vhile the entities fom;ing the proposed joint venture changed, the individuals at the
negotiating table remained the same. Pansy Ho, previously negotiating on behalf of Shun Tak, was
now negotiating in her individual capacity. Wong, who had previously negotiated on behalfofShun
Tak, was now representing Pansy Ho in her negotiations with MOM. He was also serving as a liaison
to SJM on behalf of the joint venture for various issues, induding the cost of the subconcession.
During the negotiations. he retained his title of Financial Advisor at Shun Tak, occupied an oftlce
"yards" away from Stanley Ho's at Shun Tak Centre, served on Shun Tak's informal executive
management committee, and was a director of approximately 66 Shun Tak group companies. Pansy
Ho 'spersonal attorney was a pminer at the Jaw finn established by Rui Cunha ("Cunha"), a director
and the corporate secretary ofSJM. Other Shun Tak and STDM employees continued to perfotm
important functions, even after Pansy Ho. mdividually, had replaced Shun Tak as the joint venture
partner. For example, Fred Chan, a Shun Tak employee with t:xpertise in property issues, handled the
land premium and boundar! issues for the joint venture. Colin Ching ("Ching"), a Shun Tak
employee with expertise in corporate finance, provided advice to Pansy Ho regarding the financing of
the joint venture. Ching remained involved after Shun Tak was no longer a party to the deal. Miguel
Queiroz ("Queiroz''), an STDM employee who functioned as counsel for SJM, pertormed legal work

MGM KNEW THATf_.A._NSYJIO'S FIND,.NCIAL INDEPENDENCE FROM HER.f.}..THER


WOU~D Jtl;. A KEY REGlJLATOR Y ISSUE

By mid-November 2003, MOM executives knew that Pansy Ho's independence from her
father would be a critical area of inquiry by casino regulators. Specifically. they recognized that
regulators would be interested in Pansy Ho 's source of funds lnr the joint venture, her business and
i1nancial ties to ber father, including her roles and responsibilities at Shun Tak and STDM, as well as
her degree of independence from her father. Jacobs con firmed that, dHring the meetings with Nevada
regulators, individual NGCB members inquired into Pansy Ho 's source of funds. He testified that it
was "no secret" that Pansy Ho's independence from her father was the underlying issue and that

Hfh ler source oftl.Jnds \:vould be a very~ very significant cornponent of such a detennination.'~ f-Ie also
noted:
And again, in candor, the relationship of Pansy and her independence
has always been from a due diligence standpoint or a regulatory
standpoint the key issue because we always took as a posture that we
accepted the notion that \Ve couldn't be and wouldn't be in business
with SJM, and so if you can draw the distinction between the daughter,
the accomplished daughter and the controversial rather, that was
always an issue that we had to deal with.
He added that "[w Je did know that she would have to be making this investment personally fiom her
personal funds.''

He stated that he told Pansy Ho that "she should anticipate that the gaming

regulators will inquire and delve very, very deeply into her source of fhnds for this." Jacobs further

testified that he made it "abundantly dear" to Pansy Ho that "this had to be her own money," and that
she indicated that she understood the issue. fn his testimony, Lanni maintained that he did not discuss
Pansy Ho's tinances or funding sources with her.

The degree of separation between its then-proposed joint venture partner, Pansy Ho, and her
father, was a primary concern of MOM in its assessment of a business association with her. Despite
this concern and knowledge of potential problems, from the fall of 2003 to the issuance of the
<;uhconcession in April 2005, MOM conducted no further due diligence on the issues of Pansy Ho's

independence. her source of funds for the joint venture, or other inquiries related to her financial and
business affairs with her father or the entities he controlled.

Both Pansy Ho and Wong sought to secure some role in the joint venture tor Shun Tak during
the negotiations with MOM. In an October 23, ;~003 memorandum to Jacobs, Rosevear noted that
Pansy Ho and Wong remained "highly desirous ofShun Tak making an investment in the non-gaming
element for a sttictly wmmercial retum unrelated to the gaming win or profits." Hornbuckle also
recalled that Pansy Ho tried to convince MGM that a Shun Tak development would benefit the joint
venture, Jacobs attributed Pansy 1-fo's advocacy in this area to her status as Managing Director of
Shun Tak. He added that she wanted to find a development opportunity for Shun Tak because she,
individually, had replaced Shun Takas the joint venture partm~r. Jacobs observed that "my guess
would be that

~he

was trying to be sensitive to Shun Tak and its shareholders to try to minimize the

inherent conflicts of this situation_'

SJ001287

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00111

_Appendix 3

Pansy Ho's efforts to include Shun Tak in the joint venture centered upon the inclusion of a
Shun Tak project adjaceni to the site of the proposed casino. In September 2002, the parties were
considering the Nam Van site, which consisted of two contiguous parcels of land, one rectangular and
the other triangular, The rectangular portion of land was approximately I 0 acres. Vanous entities
owned and controlled by SJM heid the rights to petition the government to develop this parcel. 25 The
4 acre triangular parcel was located at the southern end and was undervmter at the time. The
triangular piece had been designated by the Macau government as land subject to reclamation and, as
26
a re:;;uit, it was directly under the control of the Macau govemment.

In early 2003, Pansy Ho and her Shun Tak colleagues rejected MOM's initial plans that
utilized the entire 14 acre site for the casino project and instead proposed the inclusion of a
cornpkmentary project for the site that would be adjacent to the casino project and increase density on
the entire site. MOM was asked to participate in the cornplementary project but declined.

27

Lengthy

discussions ensued between the joint venture partners regarding the division of the 14 acre site for
both projects. By spring of2004, they had resolved the ultimate division of the property such that
each site included a portion of the original rectangular site and the reclaimed trian,srular parcel. The

' Rosevear testified that he believed that SJM. as the OW!ler of the ad;acent parcel, was the appropriate party to
apply for reclamation of the triarlgular portion. He testified, "[SJM was) the adjoining landowner and, I think, to expedite
things l think they had to do the application tor the land !ill until the land got transferred." He contmued, "for expediency,
they [SJM] started the development of the application proc.ess because you had w be an adjoining land ov.mer to make that

Once Pansy Ho replaced Shun Tak as the joint venture partner, the parties structured the
financing of the joint venture to accommodate her limited ability to finance her interest. Rosevear
testified that, throughout the negotiations, Wong emphasized Pansy Ho's financial limitations and
advised that Pansy Ho's maximum equity contribution to the joint venture was $80 million. Rosevear
arrived at the "common sense" conclusion that Pansy Ho was leveraging herself to fund her portion of
the joint venture equity. He testified that he believed that he discussed the subject of Pansy Ho's
borrowing with Lanni or Jacobs.

Underscoring both limitations on Pansy Ho 's abihty to mise funds independently as well as
her reliance on Stanley f-lo's money, Pansy Ho's representatives inquired whether Stanley Ho could
directly gi11 Pansy Ho a portion of her required equity contribution to the joint venture. On June 15,
2004, four days betcm:: the signing of the joint venture agreement, Jacobs sent an e-mail int'bnning
Rosevear, Lanni, and Munen that the question was raised whether 'TStanley] Ho could gift a portion

Although all documents exchanged between the parties prior to the signing ofthe joint venture

entered into the joint venture, she acquired, through a wholly owned company, Classic Time
Developments Limited ("Classic Time"), the Site 8 development rights from SJM for nominal
consideration. fn March 2005, at the suggestion of Pansy Ho's counsel, the joint venture acquired the
development rights to Site 8, allowing the approval process tbr the developmer1t of Site B to proceed

transaction closed in June 2006, Classic Time received $82 million in cash and approximately $157
million worth of Shun Tak shares. Rosevear stated that "f always thought it [Site B] was going to
Shun Tak,'' and commented that he was "surprised" both by Pansy Ho's acquisition of the Site B
rights as well as her subsequent sale of those rights.

\Vhen Pansy Ho appeared befbre the NGCB in February 2007, board members questioned her
about her acquisition of this parcel for tittle consideration and the financial windfall she received from
its sale. She testified that she acquired the land and bore the risk of the property not being suitable for

MGM..8..ND PANSY.!-IOJ~NTER INTO A JOINT VENTURE


On April 13, ?004, the MGM Exec:utfve Committee considered MGM's proposed joint

venture with Pansy Ho.

At the meeting, committee members received a four-pagt: document

captioned Executive Summary - Macau CExecutive Summary") that outlined the structure and
various other aspects of the joint venture. In particular, it nott::d:

That the joint venture would operate under a subconcession


autonomous fiom SJM.
That virtually aH decisions of significance could only be made
with the agreement of both parties.

"

If Pansy Ho should become a controlling person of SJM, she


would retain a passive economic interest in the joint venture
but would give up her management authority.

"

If Shun Tak enters the Macau gaming market in a ''significant


or non-passive way," Pansy Ho would have to either step dow:n
from Shun Tak or cease to have a management role in the joint
34
venture, with one identified exception<

"

That a portion of the joint venture site would he acquired by


Shun Tak separately for a wholly separate Shun Tak
development.

On that same day, the Executive Committee passed a resolution authorizirtgmanagement to enter into
det1nitive agreements with Pansy Ho "provided such agreements ate substantially consistent with the
Executive Summary,"

.n Although Pansy Ho did incur some expenses for retaining consultants in respect of the Site B deveiopment
plans, Hong Kong Land/Shun Tak reimbursed her tor all expenses at the lime of dosing.

J-nus provision, although present in various drai\s as !ate as April 12, 2004, was not incorporated into the final
Shareholder Agreement.

The signing of various documents related to the joint venture at Stanley Ho's house
demonstrated his continued involvement in the affairs ofthe joint venture. On June !9, 2004, MGM,
Pansy Ho and SJM signed various agreements relating to the casino joint venture at Stanley Ho's
private residence. Stanley Ho was present at the signing and executed documents on behalfofSJM.
Jacobs testified that the parties signed the document at Staniey Ho's personal residence as "a matter of
courtesy" and shared a celebratory glass of champagne. Jacobs described the chosen location of
Stanley Ho's home to Lanni as a ''very nice touch, one symbolic, but highly meaningfuL" The creation

of the joint venture between MGM and Pansy Ho, as well as the transfer of the land rights and
acquisition ofth~: subconcession, required the execution of several documents, the most significantof
which are described briefly below.

(i)

The Shareholder Agreement Between MGM and Pansy Ho

The Amended and Restated Subscription and Shareholder Agreement ("Shareholder

Agreement") established the terms and conditions of the ownership and control of the joint venture,
MGM Grund Paradise Limited. Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, each party, through various
entities, owned 50% of the joint venture. The joint venture's govemance structure created two dasses
of directors. It allowed Pansy Ho to appoint a maximum of four "A" directors and MOM to appoint a
maximum of three "B" directors. However, both groups of directors, "A," and "B," collectively,
possessed three votes. lt gave Pansy Ho the right to nominate the company's Managing Director from
the "A" directors while giving MG!v1 the right to nominate the company's Chairman of the Board

from the "B" directots.

Appendix 3

The Agreement grants each partner in the joint venture effective veto power with respect to
major decisions. ft provides that all "decisions of signii:icance" involving the joim venture require
agreement between the shareholders, or a majority of each of the "A" and "B" directorsY ln the

event of a deadlock on any matter, the Chainnan is not permitted to break a tie. According to Jacobs,
the agreement. purposely contains no dispute resolution mechanism and merely provides that any
disaf,>reements urc to be resolved "reasonably and through good taith discussions."

The Shareholder Agreement allows Pansy Ho to acquire a significant shareholding interest in


SJM Without afTecting her management or economic interests in the joint venture The Shareholder
Agreement provides that if Pansy Ho exceeds certain defined shareholding thresholds in SJM, or were
to become its Managing Director, she would be deemed in control of SJM" and be required to
relinqui~h

her operational authority, but not her economic interest, in the joint venture. The agreement

places no restrictions ttpon her management or economic interests in the joint venture in the event that
she increases her shareholding in, or becomes a controlling person ot: STDM or Shun T11k.

(ii)

SJM Agreement

On June 19, 2004. the parties entered in an agreement >\lith Stanley Ho that specified the tem1s
and eonditions under \vhich SJM agreed to .enter into a gaming subconcession with MGM Grand
Paradise and to transfer to MOM Orand Paradise the interest, held by an SJM subsidiary company, in
Site A. Pursuant to this Agreement, SJM was to receive a total of $260 million, $200 million of

related to the cost of the land. 37 The SJM Agreement was amended on March 22,2005 to provide a
mechanism fix MGM Grand Paradise to acquire the interests, held through SJM subsidiary
companies, in both Site A and Site B.

(iii)

Subconcession Agreement

The Subconcession Agreement is a trilateral agreement between MGM Grand Paradise, SJM
and the Macau government. >x On June 19, 2004, the parties entered into a draft subconcession
agreement, with Stanley Ho signing on behalfofSJM and Pansy Ho and Jacobs signing on behalf of
MGM Grand Paradise. Less than one month after the signing ofthe Shareholders Agreement and
other joint venture related documents, Secretary Tam issued a memorandum. dated July 6, 2004, that
stated, in part. that the subconcession to be granted to MGM Grand Paradise ''shaH be autonomous in
relation to SJM." The Macau government officially approved this agreement on April t 9, 2005. The
Subconcession Agreement provided that Sltv1 would grant a subconcession to MOM Grand Paradise.
The term of the subcont:ession expires on March 31, 2020, at which time the subconcession, the

Due to its conc~;:rn about the regulatory perception ofMGM maintaining a continuing business relationship with
Sumley Ho and SJM, MGM favored a one-time lump sum payment to SJM lor the sub concession. MGM estimated that
the wbconcession was worth a lmnp sum pa):ment of$100 million. Althongh SJM documents indic!lte that SJM valued
the concession between $300 and $400 million, SJM uilimately agreed with MGM's valuation and sold the subcooce:ssion
to the joint venture for $200 million. Rosevear acknowledged thal the $200 million figure was tow, and he sunnised that

source stated, in pa1t:

Due to [Stanley] ftO's current social status, and connections to the


government and crime underworld in both Macau and HK, no one
would openly accuse him ofT1iad membership or affiliation. Further,
there is usually no ''proof' showing a person's triad membership, since
a person becomes a made member of a Triad after participating in a
ceremony, which may have occurred decades ago. 'There is no contract
or anything in black and white.

[Stanley] HO, l urn certain the HKP [Hong Kong Police] would not
confinn or deny his Triad aft11iation or membership unless 1 can
produce an official requesr showing the need-to-know. iJoing business
with his daughter will, undoubtedly, entail a certain risk down the
road.
Gebhardt provided this document to Lanni and Jacobs on February ! 5, 2005. Jacobs acknowledged
receiving this email from Gebhardt and reading it. Although Lanni testified that he never received the
document, Jacobs' secretary noted on the document that Gebhardt told her that he had provided Lanni
with a copy.

STANLEY HQ_ATTENDS MAJOR EVENTS IN THE LA..UNCHING OF THE JOINT

venture's activities. On April 19, 2005, the parties held a public event at Macau govemrnent oft1ces

to officially sign the Subconcession Agreement. In addition to high ranking government ofl:icials and
the principals of the joint venture partners, Stanley Ho was present on behalf of SJM. He was also

THE SUITABfLITYOF STANLEY HO AND PANSY HO

MOM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT STANLEY


ASSOCIATIONS JiENDER HIM UN SUITABLE

HO'S

BACKGROU_ND

AND

Stanley Ho's acknowledged unsuitability on multiple bases frames the inquiry into whether
Pansy Ho has demonstrated financial and professional independence from her father and the entities
that he controls. While MGM executives state, in direct and candid terms, that Stanley Ho is not
suitable for licensure under United States standards and that MGM would not consider entering into a
business relationship with him, the company nonetheless pursued a business relationship with
companies that he controlled.

MGM senior executives acknowledge that Stanley Ho is unsuitable. In sworn testimony,


Lanni, the company's chief executive oftlcer at all times relevant to this inquiry, stated lv1GM could
not do business with Stanley Ho:

Well, l would put it this way is I don't think it gets down to the
specifics ofhis [Stanley Ho] companies, I think the issue is could we
be involved in business as a joint venture in which he would be
opei'ating a casino with us, I mean why waste anyone's time even
thinking about that.
I wouldn't want to [be involved in a joint venture with Stanley Ho], no
regulator would allow us to do that. I mean that's a pretty foregone
conclusion. I realize he's never been indicted, he's never been
convicted. but perception is reality and maybe there is reality there also
beyond the failure to have the indictments or convictions. But it just
never crossed my mind in that regard.
As to whether anyone on the MOM Board of Directors, Executive or Management Committee
inquired about Stanley Ho 's suitability, Lanni noted,"] think it was so clear that it wasn't necessary. I
wouldn't say it wouldn't merit, it just would be redundant to things that people were well aware of

47

SJ001301

PlaintiffEx. 1102 00125

Appendix 3

anyway.'' He stated that, because most of the MOM Board members have been around the industry
for a long time, "y<-'u wouid have to be living under a rock not to know about Stanley Ho and what the
perception of Stanley Ho is. I think it is common klwwledge."

MGM's most senior executives were aware of the problems associated with Stanley Ho.
Lanni stated he was aware that Australian authorities had found Stanley Ho unsuitable as early as
1986. He added:

I've detemlined [Stanley Ho] many, many years ago to he an


individual we couldn't do business with and be a partner of. It was not
going to be the case. So I knew this particular piece of information
from the - unrelated many years ago. just reading about it, about the
Australian issue.
Lanni was asked whether he felt that MGM should assume that Stanley Ho was unsuitable:

Q:

MGM. In other words, ! know you are not saying that the
speci-fic Hnding was rna de, but for purposes of your corporate
decision-making process, was the position we are going to
assume that he's unsuitable?

A:

I think that--! c:an speak for myself. .f'v1y assumption is that


that is correot. [ cannot speak for others.

He further indicated that he made his opinion on Stanley Ho 's unsuitability "abundantly clear" to
J&cobs :md Edwards and that''[ don't think anyone in our company thought that that was different."
He later added, "there was no way of clearing Stanley Ho in the eyes of regulators."

Jacobs expressed ::;imi!ar views, conceding Stanley Ho's unsuitability. He stated that "a
relationship with Dr. Ho would be very, or SJM would be very, very problematic with the regulators

48

SJ001302
Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 00126

Appendix 3

because of his reputation[.]" Indeed, Jacobs states that he had ''made the assumption that

tor

regulatory purposes and any other purposes Stanley Ho was a bad man." Jacobs also stated:

[... J certainly we knew- I mean we never thought that we were going


to either have the ability to or the substance to or the responsibilities to
persuade any regulator that Stanley Ho was okay that was not
something that we would ever have the capaeity to do, nor any appetite
to do. I mean it was a tact of life that he was whoever he was and was,
call it connected, call it functional in Macau, whatever that implies.
So I never, nor would management ever, dream of trying to say
through evidence that we could accumulate, that the Nevttda or New
Jersey or anybody should bless an association with Stanley Ho. That
was never going to happen, nor perhaps should it ever have happened.

He testified that the MGM's objective was "to see if we can figure out how to structure a transaction
that wouid make econom-ic sense and structure it as well that would have the maximum ability to
withstand regulatory scrutiny, because to a certain degree SJM is the elephant in the room [.]'" In a
February 2005 letter to Mississippi gaming regulators, Jacobs echoed these comments, stating that
"we iong ago recognized that our regulators would not want us to engage in ongoing business
relatiOns with him [Stanley HoJ."

MGM's due diligence on Stanley Ho amply supported the conclusion of senior MGM
executives that Stanley Ho was unsuitable. The Division's own independent investigation of Stanley
Ffo not only con-obora!ed the opinions expressed by MGM executives and the company's
investigative findings but also uncovered additional derogatory information concerning Stanley Ho.
Specifically, the Division located several reports issued by United States govemmental agencies that
concluded that Stanley Ho, through his involvement in the casino industry, has been and continues to
be associated with organized crime figures.

49

SJ001303

Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 00127

Appendix 3

A 1988 report by the United States Department ofJustice noted Stanley Ho's associations with
Asian organized crime. in the report, the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the
United States Department of Justice, Climinal Division, described the triads and their illegal
activities. lhe report included an appendix that identified some mdividuals as associated or attiliated
with triads, and indicated their "location'' and primary triad aftlliation. 42 Under the location "Hong
Kong (and Macau)," the report listed three names: Stanley Ho, Hung Wah Yin, and Yip Hon, one of
the original founders ofSTDM. The report identified the particular triads f(.)r Yip Hon and liung Wah

Yin; lor Stanley Ho, it indicated "Unk,'' as in unknown. The author of the report informed the
Division that the ''unk" designation next to Stanley Ho's name reflected Stanley Ho's close ties to
more than one triad and the aL!thor's inability to conclude that Stanley Ho had a primary affiliation
with one particular triad over another.

United States Senate Subcommittee hearings in 1992 similarly documented Stanley Ho's
association with organized crime groups. Materials submitted to the Subcommittee during the course
of the hearings noted that Stanley Ho had direct associations with two known members oftriads, Yip
Hon and Lau Wing Kui.

44

Vlhile the materials did not identify Stanley I-Io as a member of a triad, it

--------41

The body of the report does .not mention Stanley Ho. The Division .contacted the author of the report.
According to the n:pon's author, the body .of the report intentionally omitted any mention of Stanley Ho for two reasons.
First, the report focused on the United States and Canada, and rhe USDOJ had no definitive infom1ation regarding St~nley
Ho's involvement in organized crime in those c.ountries. Second, members of the Royal Hong Kong Police who provided
substantial intelligence and assistance in support of the report asked 1har Stanley Ho's name not be included out offear of
retaliation.

laundering and loansharking, and while the exact role of Yip Hon and Stanley Ho in such criminal
activity is unclear, they have specifically been linked to a number of criminal11gures."45

Other United States government agencies have noted Stanley Ho's association with the
organized crime groups that operate in his casino's VIP rooms. In its 2007 annual report. the United
States Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs,
speci fica I!y commented on Macau's casino gaming operations noting, in pertinent part, that''( u]nder
the old monopoly fi"amevvork, [i.e., when STDM was the sole casino .operator in MacauJ, organized
crime groups were, and continue to be, closely associated with the gaming industry through their

control of VIP gaming rooms, and activities such as racketeering, loan sharking and prostitution."
Virtually identical language was included in the Bureau of fnternationat Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Afhirs' annual reports tiJr Macau in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. 46

Through his leadership position and ownership control of SJM, Stanley Ho continues to
associate with individuals in the Macau gaming industry who are connected to organized crime.
Specifically, a number of casinos in Macau are refened to as third-party-promoted casinos and are

Hld. at 173, 184.- The materials explain that, "[a "llthough .Sll;\niey Ho has been tied to organized crime tigures

establish her position in the same field as her father: gaming in Macau.'~R

Pansy Ho has depended upon companies controlled by Stanley Ho for the majority of her prejoint venture income and professional advancement. While Stanley Ho is the Group Executive
Cbainnan and the largest individual shareholder of Shun Tak, Pansy Ho has assumed the role of the
public face of Shun Tak and has held its highest operational title, Managing Director, since 1999. 49
She is also the company's second largest individual shareholder. Without considering any income
that she may be receiving now from the joint venture, Pansy Ho has historically relied on Shun Takas
her primary source of income. She has historically derived the vast nHtjority of her taxable income
from Shun Tak; for tax years 2004, 2005, and 2006, she earned at least 970.f. of her total reported
earned income

Shun Tak.

'' 0thercasino regulatory agencies have expressed ,;oncer.as that Stanley Ho might be behind an application for
licensure submittd by a family member. In 1996, Stanley Ho';; will; and two of his daughters, Daisy and Maisy Ho,

His wite ultimately declined to provide fuii disclosure of Stanley Ho's financial intom1ation ro tbeBCGC, which, in tum,

Pansy Ho has also received significant compensation from STDM and STDM-related
entities.

Between January 2001 and June 2006, Pansy Ho received more than$ i .87 miilion from

STDM. Similar to her compensation pattem at Shun Tak, payments by STDM to Pansy Ho increased
in the interim between the signing ofthe Shareholders Agreement t1nd the parties' contributions of
equity to the joint venture. For the fiscal years ending March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2005,
Pansy Ho's total pay1nents from STD!v! increased by 38.3'%, from $!67,949 to $232,319. For the
fiscai year ending March 31, 2006, those STDM payments had increased to S l ,020,206. or an increase

of 339% from the prior fiscal year. Beginning in 2002, STDM paid Pansy Ho an annual Director's
Entertainment Allowance of $64,000. She stated that this is an entertainment allowance given to
STDM board members to conduct business on behalfofSTDM, fn August 2004. STDM gave Pansy
Ho $64.000 as a past due "lnsurance Allowance" for calendar years 2002 and 2003. She testified that

she was not exactly sure as to the speci.fic purpose of this payment, bui believed it might have been
related to the purchase of insurance for STDM employees. ln April 2005, two weeks before the
official signing of the Subconcession Agreement, STDM paid Pansy Ho a special director's bonus of
S641 ,000. In addition, bank records ref1cd that, in 2005, Pansy Ho received S !26,000 as a dividend
on her 100 shares ofSTDM stock t()r years 2002 and 2003. She has stated that STDM only started

November 2005, STDM issued Pansy Ho another dividend payment for $85.000. >}

Pansy Ho 's personal business affairs delive substantial revenue from entities controlled by her
father. Pansy Ho has two wholly owned personal businesses that have significant business
connections to Shun Takas 'Nell as STDM. Since 1998, one of the companies has had a S25,000 per

month retainer agreement with STDM to serve as its marketing and public relations consultant.
Between 2001 and 2004, Pansy Ho received approximately .~ l million in pay111ents from these
entities.

A.dditionally, STDM compensates Pansy Ho for her active involvement in STDM's corporate
governance. Pansy 1-lo t;;:stifled that, although she attends STDM meetings of the directors, she does
not have any day-to-day involvement in

cbmpany or its subsidiaties. How~ver, Pansy Ho's role as

an STDM Director is not simply a passive one. She testified on several occasions in Macanese legal

proceedings as the corporate representative tr;r STDM,

and serves as an STDM representative on

several STDM-rdatcd entities. On at least one occasion in June 2005, she served as Stanley Ho's

been involved with STDM's business and gaming activities outside ofMacau, including a January
2007 trip to Kazakhstan at her father's request to assess gaming and non-gaming development
1

possibilities on behalf of STDM and Shun Tak. 5' Wong Sing Wah accompanied her on that trip. 55
Pansy Ho' s position as an STDM board member has also provided her at least an indirect involvement
in SJM's significant strategic and investment decisions. 56

MGM executives recognized the problems posed by Pansy Ho's presence on the STDM
Board. ln a May 24, 2004 e-mail to Lanni, Rosevear, and Murren, Jacobs commented,"[ should note
that Pansy is on the board ofSTDM- it would not surprise me ifNevada nsks her to step down from
that position." rna February 22, 2005 e-mail to Lanni, Rosevear, and Murren, Jacobs recounted a
conversation with a high-level Macau official concerning Pansy Ho's STDM directorship.

In

pertinent part, the e-mail stated:

used against us as showing too ciose a link to SJM (note - we have

This correspondence evidenced MGM's concerns about their joint venture partner being involved with
this Stanley Ho-controlled entity.

Pansy Ho relied on individuals associated with companies owned and controlled by her father
for professional and technical services. Throughout the joint venture negotiations and fbrmation,
employees of Shun Tak and other individuals Jssociated with Stanley Ho assisted Pansy Ho.
Throughout the negotiations and the fom1ation ofthe joint venture, Pansy Ho and Wong negotiated
with MGM on behalf of Pansy Ho individually. !n fact, when MGM abandoned plans to establish a
joint venture with Shun rak in favor of a joint venture with Pansy Ho individually, the faces at the
negotiating table--Pansy Ho and Wongremained the same. She also relied on other Shun Tak
employees tor t1nancial and land.use assistance.

Pansy Ho 's positions with Shun Tak and STDM, het father's influence and control over SJM,
and her relationship with her father were indispensable in SJIVf selling a subconcession to the joint
venture, as well as the joint venture's ability to secure the concession at a discounted price. MGM has
acknowledged that various aspects and lavorableoutcomes ofthcjoint venture's negotiations with
SJM were a result ofthe father/daughter relationship between Stanley and Pansy Ho. \Vhen asked if
Pansy Ho's re1ationship with her father was "instrumental" in getting the subconcession from SJM,

-------1n his 3WQfl1 testimony, Jacobs qualified the sentiments expressed in his e-mail. He stated that. based on his
conversations wirh Pansy flo. Smnnard, and others, as well as his underMamling cfher role on the STDM board, it was

Jacobs replied "Oh, I' rn sure. I couldn't go and get one." Jacobs candidly stated that he did not think

the subcon~ession vvould have been available unless Pansy rro \Vas involved. f-Ie noted, H[t]baCs why

we pay the premium in order to be in busii1ess with her because it was our conclusion we couldn't
have gotten, ~~ome hell or high water for anything because it was a unique commodity and, sure, I
mean, as parents, i help my kids." Similarly, the joint venture obtained the subconcession at a cost of

.$200 million when its value \Vas, arguably, much greater. Rosevear acknowledged that MOM would
have been willing to pay a higher amount. In sum, as acknowledged by MOM, MOM ultimately
partnered with Pansy Hounder this arrangement because of her personal and business connections to
her father and the companies under his controL

[n addition to Stanley Ho's remuneration to Pansy Ho through companies he controls, Stanley


Ho has aiso given her numerous sizcabic gifts. These substantial and continuing gifts provided to
Pansy Ho by her father cany with them a degree of influence that is relevant to the independence
analysis.

Pansy Ho receives from her father monthly contributions and other significant cash

payments on an annual basis (e.g., birthday presents). Between January 200 l and June 2006, these
gifts totaled almost $5 million.

58

Her father has also gifted her significant interests in real estate

assets, with those gifts accounting for ninety-six percent ofthe total estimated value ofthe real estate
portfolio identified in her January 2006 MJ -PHD tiling. [n early 2004, Stanley Ho provided her, in

two. transactions, with $16.6 million dollars as a gift to purchase a residence in Hong Kong. 511 A

Pansy Ho 's Relationship With Individuals Who Arc Not Suitable

Apart from her tinancial, professional, and personal dependence upon her father, Pansy flo's
relationships with several other individuals who .are known or alleged to be associated with organized
crime independently call into question her personal suitability and MGM's business association with

her. Those individuals include

Gilbert Yeung, Albert Yeung, and

Albert Yeung's brother Yeung Hoi Sing, Sonny ("Sonny Yeung"). Pansy Ho, herself, however, has
no criminal convictions and no bankruptcies.

11
'' ln 2004, Pansy Ho and Daisy Ho, on behalf of Shun Tak and a wholly owned subsidiary of Shun Ta~
negouated for the acquisition of development rights f(Jr an undevdnpedparcd efland adjacent to the Macau Tower. Shun
Takand the ;;ubsidiary would pay HK $1.5 billion, in equal proportions cash and Shun Tak stock, to the seiling entity,
which was controlled by Stanley Ho. The selling entity desigm1ted a new entity, i\lpha Davis Investments Limited ("Alpha
Davis"), to be the recipient of the 148.9 m:llion shan::s of stock rece.ived by Stanley Ho a5 proceeds of the sale. The
owners of Alpha Davis, and iheir eftecuve percentage ofoi/,11ership, are, as ibllows: Stanley Ho. 47%~ Pansy Ho, 27.03%;
Daisy Ho. 20.67%; and Maisy Ho, 5.3'l\,. Per the testimony of Pansy Ho and Daisy Ho, Stanley Ho created Alpha Davis in

MGM'S._h:OMPUANC~__ EFFORTS

As with other gaming companies, the MGM Compli~:mce Committt~C was designed to "identify
potentially unsuitabk situations. potentially unsuitable persons'' and to timction as an intemal';quasigaming regulatory body." Lanni test! fied that an effective compliance program required a "proactive
and well-informed'' Compliance Committee that is made aware of significant issues, particularly
those relating to suitability1 early enough to engage in a meaningful review of the issues.

MGM's Compliance Committee leamed little about the company's plans in Macau or the
background of the entities and individuals with which it sought to partner. The minutes from the
Compliance Committee meeting of February i l, 2002 retlect that the Committee was advised that
"the company was not selected as one of the three t!nalists for a license to be issued in Macao."
i\ttinutes from subsequent meetings indicate that the Committee did not discuss an~/thing related to the
subject of Macau, Stanley Ho, Pansy Ho, Shun Tak, and STDM again until approximately two years

proposed joint venture fro1n early 2003~ the Cornmlttec received no due diligence infOnnation or

repotis gathered or produced by the MGM Corporate Security Department on Stanley Ho, Pansy Ho,
Daisy Ho, or Shun Tak .. During this same period, MGM 's Compliance Officer also did not receive
any due diligence information or reports relating to Macau. 95

MGM did not provide its Compliance Committee with information that would have been
rei evant to its consideration of the Macau joint venture, According to its minutes, the Compliance
Committee first learned of MGrv1's potential joint venture ;vith Pansy Ho at its Febmary 19, 2004
meeting. The minutes state:

Gary Jacobs ihen discussed a potential joint venture in Macau with


Pansy Ho, daughter of Stanley Ho. Mr. Jacobs indicated that he has
discussed this potential joint venture extensively with the Company's
gaming regulators, Also, he reported that Corporate Security has
completed a backwound investigation on Pansy Ho, and such report
has not generated any derogatory information about Pansy Ho.
Earlier minutes ret1et:t that the Committee was not infom1ed about the proposed Shun Tak!SJM
relationship or the regulatory concerns about Stanley Ho and his affiliated entities raised infonna!lyby
the Nevada regulators. The minutes arc devoid of any indication that Jacobs infonned the Committee
of the derogatory infbrmation that MOM possessed regarding Pansy Ho, including her relationship
with Gilbert Yeung, the reputation of his tl:tther, Albert Yeung,
Similarly, the minutes reflect that the Compliance Committee did not consider Pansy Ho's financial
and business relationships with Stanley Ho,

The Compliance Committee did not learn ofthe terms and structures of the deal until after the
June 19, 2004 signing of the joint venture's Shareholder Agreement. The Committee did not receive
the April 13, 2004 Executive Summary, which was presented to the MGM Executive Committee,
regarding the terms and structure of the joint venture, until August2l, 2004, despite having a meeting
on May 17, 2004.

Jacobs, although aware of derogatory information in MGM's possession and a member of the
company's Compliance Committee, did not share that information with the Committee or MGM's
Com pi iance Officer, Bryan Wright ("Wiight"). As a corporate officer as well as a member of the
Compliance Committee, Jacobs had obligations in both roles. When asked about his failure to infonn
the Compliance Committee of the derogatory information, he attributed it to 'some sloppiness in our
procedures."

Both Lanni and Jacobs acknowledged that MGI'vi should have shared its due diligence

with the Committee by July 2003, when MGM and Shun Tak had reached a general consensus on the
structure of a proposed join! venture.

transaction, net worth, income sources, or business or tinancial relationships. Beginning in October

2003, when Pansy Ho individually was identified as MGM's joint venture partner, the company was
aware that the central regulatory issues were Pansy Ho's independence from her father and her source
of funds fbr the joint venture. Wright, Edv;ards, and Gebhardt testified that neither Jacobs nor any
other MGM executive asked them to investigate these areas.

Addiriona!ly, MGM failed to timely disclose the due diligence within its possession to New
Jersey, Nevada and Mississippi regulators. On October 14, 2004, Jacobs provided an MGM Mirage
Corporate Security report, captioned "Shun Tuk", to New Jersey regulators. In the cover letter, Jacobs
stated that "enclosed are materials .ve have on Pansy and Daisy." The letter noted, "[S]ince we have
accc-ss to public sources, these materials are limited. With their tilings and refeases, you will, of
course, be able to go deeper." As noted in this report, beginning in early 2003 MGM possessed a
significanl amount ofderogaiorydue diligence relating to Stanley Ho and Macau's casinos, as well as
information about Pansy Ho, much of which was incorporated into MOM Corporate Security
Background reports that were shared with senior MGM executives. Regarding the transmittal letter to
New Jersey, Jacobs testified that he "should have been dearer" that "this was not everything we

[MGM] had.'' He characterized it as ''probably ... a miscommunication."

MGM provided Nevada and Mississippi regulators the identical MGrvt MIRAGE Corporate

ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION !N A TIMELY MANNER, AND LEFT UNEXPLORED
!5.EY_Q.IJESTIONS RELATED TO PANSY HO'S SUITABTUTY
MGM fell sh01i of its obligations !o its Compliance Committee and its regulators in

conducting and disclosing pertinent due diligence in a tirnely fashion. The minutes oft he Compliance
Committee meetings ret1ect that MG!v1 executives did not disclose, let alone discuss. virtually any
aspects of the Company's development activities in Macau with the Compliance Officer and
Committee. Despite possessing a significant amount ofderogatoty infimnation, much of which was
incorporated into various written investigative reports, neither Jacobs nor Edwards, both rnt.."l11bers of
the Compiiance Committee, provided any of these documents to the company's Compliance Officer

or the Committee as a whote .. In addition, with the exception of one report that omitted the hulk of
derogatory information in the company's possession, MOM did not share any other due diligence with
the Division of Gaming Enforcement. Rather, the Division uncovered certain due diligence that
MGM possessed in the course of its investigation of the joint venture.

''"In a letter dated April 4, 2008 to the Division regarding MGM's admitted compliance failures, the NGCB
advised that:

Moreover. once MGM became aware in the tall of 2003 that Pansy Ho was to be its JOint
venture partner. company executives knew that Pansy Ho's independence from her father was,
according to Jacobs, ;'fiom a due diligence standpoint or a regulatory standpoint the key issue."

Nevertheless, MGM tailed to investigate the issue, conducting no due diligence on the question of
independence or Pansy !Io's personal tinancial resources or business relationships. lt assumed

independence, ignoring the mnple evidenct: within its possession to the contrary, including:
knowledge that the individuals participating in the negotiating and tormation of the joint venture did
not change when Pansy Ho individually replaced Shun Tak; knowledge that Pansy Ho was bonowing
to finance her egui ty contribution, and sought to obtain the funds directly from Stanley Ho mere days
before the joint venture's fonnation; and knowledge that Pansy Ho held leadership and govemance
positions in companies controlled by Stanley Ho. In shoti, MGM cannot now claim surprise at the
extent of her dependence upon her father's financial and corporate resources when it tailed to pursue
the requisite i11vesrigation into these issues on its own.

MGM's efforts to obtain a letter from the Macau government attesting to the integrity of
SJM's gaming operations and the probity of that company's major shareholders (induding Stanley
Ho) evidences a lack of commitment and sensitivity to compliance and the role of regulators. As set

torth above, MGM was in possession of derogatory information relating to Sianley Ho and his
companies. Despite believing that Stanley Ho was unsuitable for regulatory purposes, Jacobs took a
lead role in drafting the August l, 2003 Secretary Tam letter. In addition, although MGM knew that
the NGCB possessed the Secretary Tam letter, the company failed to present the derogatory due
diligence in its possession that undercut the tetter's very assertions.

Pansy Ho 's relationship with her father, the central role that he and his companies have played
in her successes and the formation of the Joint venture, and her associations with persons alleged to be
associated with organized crime render lwr susceptible to inf1uence by unsuitable persons. The joint
venture Shareholders Agreement provides no mechanism for dispuie resolution other than the

agret..>rnent of both parties. \Vhile l'v1GM points to that provision as assurance that the joint venture
will act in a manner that is consistent with MG!v!'s regulatory obligations by requiring MGM
approval tor all significant actions, the converse is also true: all signitkant actions by the joint venture
will require the appnrval of Pansy Ho. Given the extent ofSTDM, SJM, and Stanley Ho's iniluences

and

involvemL~nt

in gaming in Macau, and the multiple roles that Pansy Ho plays in the Stanley Ho

~mpire, the possibility of Pansy Ho's competing and conflicting interests influencing the operation of

the joint venture's casinos is real and Sif:,'11ificant.

[n addition to and apart from questions of suitability related to the parties with whom MGM
has entered into the joint venture, its conduct in pursuing and consummating that venture raises
concerns about its commitment to corporate regulatory integrity.

conduct evidences a '.villingncss to seek partnt;rships with persons it knew to be associated with

alleged to be associated with organized crime. Additionally, the company failed to conduct due
di!igem:e on issues that it acknowledged were important to regulators, primarily whether Pansy Ho
was sufticiently independent from her father. Finally, MGM minimized lhe role and effectiveness of
its own Compliance Officer and Committee, by tl1iling to present to its Compliance Offker and
Compliance Committee complete and timely due diligence relating k) the negotiations. the joint
venture, or its partner.

In sum, the joint venture between MGM and Pansy Ho was the culmination of a concerted
effort by rvtGM to enter the Macau market. The Macau market represented to MOM not only a fastgrowing and lucrative gaming market in Asia, but also an important market from which it could
attract additional clientele to the company's Las Vegas properties. MGM believed that it had to
establish a presence in Macau, which it did by seeming a local partner, obtaining a subconcession,
identifying and gaining approval for development on a particular parcel, and ultimately constructing
and opening a casino. Its efforts and actions in Macau fmthered those corporate objectives. As a
licensed entity in the State of New Jersey, however, MGM must at all times satisfy its statutory
obligations. Here, the lack of personal, financial, and professional independence of its joint venture
pattner

trom an individual acknowledged to be unsuitable, the partner's own questionable personal

suitability, and MGM's failure in compliance and disclosure, lead the Di-vision to conclude that

MGM's joint ;enture partnership in Macau docs not satisfy its obJigations under the Act.

Based upon the information contained in this Special Report and revealed pursuant to the
Division's investigation, the Division recommends that the Commission find Stanley Ho to be an

70

SJ001324
Plaintiff Ex. 1102_ 00148

Appendix 3

unsuitable person under the Act. The D1vision's recommendation is supported by the opinions of
MGM senior executives, MOM's own due diligence, the actions of other casino regulatory agencies,
Stanley Ho's continued business ties to persons associated with organized crime, and the Division's
own investigation. [n addition to his substantial, although indirect, funding of Pansy Ho's joint
venture equity contributions, Stanley !-lo was present at every major event leading to the opening of
the joint venture, including the signing of the joint venture agreement at his personal residence, the
g,roundbreaking, and the grand opening. In

m()St 1f

not all instances, he was present at the invitation

ofMGM.
The Division recommends that the Commission also find Pansy Ho to be an unsuitable person
under the Act based on her dependence upon her father and her association with individuals
connected to organized crime. The Division's recommendation is supported by the fact of her direct,
substantial, and continuing business and financial ties to her father, Stanley Ho. HistOJically, almost
all of her income and accumulated wealth was directly attributable to him, or entities controll,:d by
him. The majority of the assets used to fund her interest in the joint venture with MGM came directly
or indirectly from Stanley Ho.
The Division also recommends that the Commission find that Pansy Ho is not independent of
her father, Stanley Ho. The closely intertwined financial and business associations that support a
negative finding on her individual suitability similarly require a determination that Pansy Ho lacks
independence from her father. Her controlling position at Shun Tak and her presence on the STDM
Board present obvious conflicts with the MGM joint venture that leave her vulnerable to the potential
int1uence or control of her father or his associations. Moreover, her involvement with MGM in the
very industry in which her father's organized crime associations, both past and present, are linked
give the Division extreme concern. Aside t!om the significant evidence of substantial and continuing
business and financial connections to her father, genuine concems about Pansy Ho's lack of
independence are evidenced by, among other issues, the pervasive involvement of individuals
71

SJ001325

Appendix 3

associated with or employed by Stanley Ho or the entities he controls, her January 2007 trip to
Kazakhstan on behalf of STDM/Shun Tak, her representation on behalf of her father at a STDM
General Assembly meeting, her designation as a representative of STDM to testify in court
proceedillgs, and Stanley Ho's appeanmce at the MGM Grand Macau's opening in December 2007.
These economic and professional ties to her futher demonstrate a lack ofthe independence necessary
to insulate tht: joint venture ti-om the potential of influence or control by Stanley Ho, his business
entities, or as~ociates.
Separate and apart from her father's organized crime assocwtions, Pansy Ho herself

ha~;

been involved in several financial transactions with other

individuals reputed to have triad associations.


The Division also recommends that the Commission find that MGM failed to follow its own
internal compliance procedures. From the beginning of its efforts to enter Macau, MOM pursued
partnerships with persons that it knew were associated with those aspects of gaming in Macau most
heavily penetrated by organized crime. After its unsuccessful bid to obtain a gaming concession,
fvfGl'v1 proposed a joint venture with Henry Cheng und Chan, with Chan as managing director of the

joint venture, despite its Corporaie Security report documenting Chan's involvement in VIP rooms
and his associations With persons involved in organized crime, After it became apparent that the
original tfuet' successful bidders \Vould, in fi.1ct, receive a concession, MGM sought to partner with
SJM, the only concessionaire who was not a direct competitor in the Las Vegas market Despite their
s\vom statements to the contrary, MGM's interest and efforts in securing an arrangement with SJM
evidences a wil!ingness to do business with Stanley Ho and his companies. Indeed, Pansy Ho was
initially present at the negotiating table at her l'itther's request as a representative of Stanley Ho.
77

SJ001326

Appendix 3

Additionally, in light of the due diligence in MOM's possession at the time, MOM's role in
acquiring a letter from a high-ranking member of the Macanese government attesting to the suitability
of SJM and Shun Tak, and its subsequent delivery to members ofthe NGCB, reflects, at. best, a lack
of candor to that regulatory entity. The drafting of the letter, the efforts to secure the signature, and its
presentation to regulntors-despite the significant amount of due diHgence within the company's
possession that contradicted or qualified the assertions contained tbcrein-demonstrate that MGM did
in fact attempt to rehabilitate Stanley Ho and his companies in the eyes of Nevada regulators.

MGM provided inadequate and untimely disclosure ofthe Macau venture and its partners to
its compliance personneL In part1cular, despite their presence on the Compliance Committee, and

their awareness of the due diligence MGtvt possessed, and in the case of Jacobs his additional
knowledge of the various negotiations, neither Jacobs nor Edwards kept the Committee or
Compliance Officer informed. In light of Jacob's complicity in failing to provide the Compliance
Committee with timely and complete inti.xmation, the payment of a bonus \6 Jacobs creates, at the
very least, an appearance that the securing of a lucrative joint venture absolved any shortcomings in
following intemal policies regarding comp!iance. Furthermore, MOM's presentation of the joint
venture to the Compliance Committee after the joint venture signing left the Committee unable to
offer any meaningful guidance.

MGM also fai.kd to conduct adequate due diligence on the very issue that the company's
leadership acknowledges is central to regulatory inquiry on the joint venture, namely, Pansy Ho's

financial independence hom her father and her source offunds f()r the joint venhtre. fvlGM 's records
reveal that MGM did nol undertake additional due diligence or background investigation into Pansy

Ho 's personal, tinancial, and professional independence, despite the company's recognition that Pansy
Ho had limited ability to finance the deal and despite the extensive derogatory public allegations
relating to Stanley Ho, organized crime, and his casino empire.

Bused upon a careful review of all the 1cts, the Division makes the following
recommendations to the Commission:

I.

That Stanley Ho be found to be an unsuitable person under the Act;

2.

That Pansy Ho be tound to be an unsuitable person under the Ae:t:

That Pansy Ho be found not to be independent of Stanley Ho;

That MOM's due diiigence/compliance etforts be found to be deficient under the Act;

By Matt Isaacs and Reuters staff


SAN FRANCISCO/MACAU, March 29 (Reuters) - Late last autumnf6l, a Hong Kong
juryl71 convicted 181 four men of a conspiracy to commit bodily harmf9l and a fifth of
soliciting a rnurderl11
At first. the men had been ordered to break the arms and legsl 11l of a dealer at Sands
12
Macaul i suspected of helping a patron cheat millions of dollarsf131 from the businessi 141.
Later, a call went out to murder the dealerl151, court records showl 16l But then one of the
gangsters balked and reported the plans to authoritiesl 171.
The plot's mastermind 18l, according to testimony in previously undisclosed court
transcriptsf1 91 obtained by Reuters, was Cheung Chi-tai. At trial a witness identified
Cheung as a leader of the Wo Hop Tol201 - one of the organized crime groups in the
region known as triads. Another witness, a senior inspector with the Hong Kong poltce121 l
called to testify because he is an expert on the triads, identified Cheung by name as
someone who would commit crimes for rnoneyr221 . Cheung's organized crime affiliation
was corroborated in interviews for this <;~rticle with law enforcement and security officials
intimately familiar with the gaming industry in Macaul23l.
The murder-for-hire case sheds light on the links between China's secretive triad
societies and Macau's booming gambling industry. It also raises potentially troubling
questions about one of the world's largest gaming companies, Las Vegas Sands , which
plans to open a $5.5 billion Singapore casino resort in late Apriil 24I
Cheung was not just named as a triad member but also, according to a reoular casino
patron testifying in the triall 25l, "the person in charge" of one of the VIP rooms at the
Sands Macau, the first of three casinos run here by Las Vegas Sands. In addition,
Cheung has been a major investor in the Neptune Groupl26l, a publicly traded company
involved in casino junketsi27 J -- the middlemen who bring wealthy clients to Macau's

gambling halls_ Documents show that1 28i his investment allowed him a share in the
profits from a VIP gambling room at the casino.
An examination of Hong Kong court recordsf291, U.S. depositions from the .former
president of Sandsi301 , and interviews with law enforcement and security officials in both
the U.S. and Macau, reveals a connection between Las Vegas Sands and Cheung -ties that could potentially put Sands in violation of Nevada gaming laws.
The Reuters investigation is a collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at
University of California, Berkeley.
U.S, casinos operating in Macau are all headqumtered in Nevadaf31 l and must comply
with that state's laws which prohibit "unsuitable" associations that "discredit" its gaming
industry. Those lavvs are meant to keep organized crime figures out of the casinos.
Leading up to its public offerin,g .ln Hong Kong last November. Sands China . a
subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands'"2 l, acknowledged the risks of working with gaming
promoters -- another term for junkets: "If we are unable to ensure high standards of
probity and integrity of our Gaming Promoters with whom we are associated, our
reputation may suffer or we may be subject to sanctions, including the loss of (Sands'
Macau gaming license,)" the company wrote in a public filingl 33l.
Randall sar;re, a member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board that monitors casino
compliance 34J, declined to comment specifically on Sands Macau. writing in an email
that the state "takes no public position on suitability ... without a full investigative workup."
A gaming official, who insisted upon anonymity, said: "This relationship (with Cheung)
would be of concern to Nevada authorities. You're talking about direct ties to bad
guys"f35 J Another said the agency is monitoring the situation.
Las Vegas Sands issued a statement saying, ''to our knowledge, Mr. Cheung Chi Tai is
not listed as a director or shareholder" with any of the gaming promoters the company
uses in Macau, but declined to comment further.
Sands was the first U.S. operatorP 9l to cash in on the Chinese passion for gambling
when it entered Macau in 2004[371 after the government opened the casino market to
outsiders,
Since reverting to China in 1999, Macau, an hour away from Hong Kong by ferry, has
flourished as one of the world's wealthiest cities. The territory's economy has soared in
recent years -- much of the wealth generated by the enclave's casinos.
Indeed, the former Portuguese colony has become a playground fo,r China's nouveau
38
riche. And the gleaming neon red lights of the Sands Macau casinol ! are the first sights
a visitor takes in as the ferry approaches Macau.

Appendix 4
THE JUNKETS
The link between Macau's gambling industry and organized crime may be an open
secret, but it has come under increasing scrutiny lately. Within the last two weeks, MGM
Mirage said it would give up its holdings in New Jersey in response to pressure from the
New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcementl3 9l. The state agency had said that Pansy
Ho, MGM Mirage's partner in Macau and the daughter of casino tycoon Stanley Ho, was
an ''unsuitable" associate, an assertion stemming from the agency's belief that her
father has links to organized crimel40l.
The involvement of the triads in Macau's casinos is centered on the murky and highly
41
profitable junket business. The VIP sector brought in $9.9 billionf J last year, two-thirds
42
of the enclave's total gambling revenues! J
Macau has about 187 Hcensed junket operators, said Manuel Joaquim das Neves,
director of Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau 143l.
The junkets are crucial because they ensure the flow of capital by extending credit to
gamblers, often millions of dollars on a visit They assume responsibility for collecting on
their loans -- at times indelicately, authorities say.
They also often assume management of the private VIP rooms. And while many lawabiding junkets are active in Macau, experts say the industry is highly susceptible to
criminal influence given the extra-legal functions and opaque environments in which
they work.
In an interview, Dan Grove, a former agent for the FBI who oversaw security for Sands
Macau in the first few years1441 after its opening -- and before the casino became
involved in junketsf45l -- characterized pressure from triads to work with the casino as
"immense."
When known crime figures applied directly for contracts, blocking them was easy, Grove
says. But if legitimate professionals submit applications and then sub-contract the work
to the triads, detecting such ties was more difficult if not impossible. [20100329 215028

JUMBO BOOM
Cheung Chi-tai's ties to Sands Macau came through such a multi-tiered arrangement.
His solely owned company, Jumbo Boom Holdings06l, provided capital for another firm,
now called Neptune Group, to acquire a stake in Hou Wanf471 , a junket operator. Hou
Wan was entitled to profits from Sands Macau's Chengdu VIP room 1481
Cheung owned more than 8 percent of Neptune Group in 2008H 91 , according to public
filings with the Hong Kong stock e~~~ange. That made hirn a substantial shareholder
when the call for the dealer's murder"0 ' went out

SJ001331

PlaintiffEx.1102 00155

Appendix 4
When asked about Cheung, Nicholas Niglio, Neptune's chief operating officer, said: "I'm
not familiar with him at aiL"
After a reporter showed him Neptune's 2008 annual report listing the firm's substantial
shareholders, including Cheung, Niglio de9lined to respond specifically. Cheung does
not appear in Neptune's 2009 annual report'5 li
Niglio said Neptune wasn't a junket itself but invests in VIP junkets that operate at the
Sands Macau, the Venetian Macau and Galaxy Entertainment's StarWor!d casinosr52 l.
He said Neptune now had a 20 percent stake in Hou Wan1 53i, a junket operator that runs
around 20 VIP tables at the Sands Macau154I
In Neptune's public filings three years ago, Cheung was described as a ''merchant in
Hong Kong'' whose company ''generally does not engage in underwriting business and
has no underwriting experience as at the date of this announcement. ..res]
While Niglio described Neptune merely as an "investor'' in junkets, trial testimony placed
Cheung inside the casino's private room[S&J.
According to testimony by Siu Yun-ping, aka the "God of Gambling", who won about
HK$100 million ($12.9 million) between August 2007 and January 2008 at various
casinos, Cheung was "the person in charge'' of the Chengdu Hall, one of the VIP rooms
that Siu frequentedr571 .
Las Vegas Sands, however, has said it maintains management of all its VIP rooms,
though it acknowledges working with gaming promoters to attract customers.
FRIGHTENED AWAY FROM THE SANDS
A triad member turned informant named Lau Ming-yee testified that he, and the five
men who would be convicted of engaging in triad activities, referred to Cheung as "the
boss."1581

Cheung, however, didn't appear in court and was not charged. Hong Kong police
declined to answer detailed inquiries on why this was so. In an emailed response.
authorities acknowledged only that a 49-year-old man surnamed Cheung was arrested
in connection with the case but ''released after legai advice was sought due to
insufficient evidence."
Attempts to determine Cheung's current whereabouts with !he Hong Kong police and
U.S. gambling industry sources in Macau were unsuccessfulr"'91 .
The judge in last year's murder-for-hire case, Madame Verina Bokhary[GOJ, said in
passing sentence that, "I bear in mind of course that, behind the scenes, there is a
person or are persons even more blameworthy than any of thern. "[611

SJ001332

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00156

Appendix 4
In the summaries of the trial called "particulars of offense" the judge identified Cheung
by his Cantonese nickname, "Tsang Pau," or "explosive money maker."i621
Siu, th,e "God of Gambling" suspected of colluding with the dealer at the Sands
631
Macaut , testified that he had been attacked, his house had been set aflame and that
his son had received threatening phone calls. "As a result of Tsang Pau {Cheung), he
(the witness) was frightened away from the Sands Casino," according to the judge's
summary.
Macau's regulator Nevesf64l acknowledges that the junket business in Macau has links
to organized crime, though he says it is less prevalent and more under control than in
the past.
"This kind of business certainly involves people related to organized crime,'' he said.
"That's why we established the license for just a year Every year. they (the junket
operators) must renew the license."
Asked specifically about whether Macau will strip the license from a casino operator if
the regulators discover that it is hiring a junket operator with links to organized crime,
Neves said: "It's separate. In principle, it doesn't affect the concessionaires."
Neves said he was informed by police of Cheung's alleged role in the murder-for-hire
case. But he described the accusations against Cheung as "rumors'' and said without
formal charges being brought against him, he would be free to continue to operate in
Macau.
"If he (was) condemned by the Hong Kong court ... if he was arrested and condemned ...
we wouldn't aliow him to run the junket," he said. "In this kind of case we must deal very
carefully .. Sometimes if we use this (rumor) to deny the license, he can put us in
court."
Unlike Las Vegas. where casinos tend to have direct relationships with their VIP
customers, Macau's casinos rely on junket operators to bring them the majority of their
high rollersf65l, who might easily lose US$1 million in an evening. [20100329 215035

THE $64,000 BET
On a late Friday night in February, gamblers were exchanging wads of golden one
thousand Hong Kong do!lar banknotes ($130) for expensive chips in the exclusive and
restricted VIP gaming rooms of the Sands Macau.
The labyrinth of rooms -- decorated with classical Greek columns, Italian marble and
chandeliers -- were largely filled with mainland Chinese clients at high-stakes Baccarat
tables.

SJ001333
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00157

Appendix 4
The atmosphere was smoky, hushed and privileged, as casino employees kept watch.
The rooms seemed a world removed from the mass market gaming floors below.
At the "Luoyang" room, named after a gritty Chinese city, most gamblers were
Manclarrn-,~peaking mainland Chinesef 66l, who constitu~e more than half of ~acau's VIP
gamblersfo, . As two Reuters reporters looked on, a mtdd!e-aged woman w1th dtamond
bracelets staked a single H K$500, 000 ($64,440) bet -- and shrugged off the loss.
A supervisor of the VIP floor and several employees said the Chengdu hall - the room
that Cheung Chi-tai ran, according to the court testimony -- has been renamedf68l
Most VIP gambling in Macau is leveraged: gamblers usually bet more than their cash on
hand[i.\GJ_ This is particularly true of mainland Chinese high-rollers who, because of
Beijing's strict capital controls, are limited to carrying the equivalent of US$5,000 in
renminbi per trip when they leave ChinallO] Macau's six publicly listed casino
operatorsFti lend to only a small minority of t11eir patrons, according to company
filingst 72J That is because collection of gambling debt is illegal in China 731 and Macau
forbids casinos from writing off their bad or uncol!ectable debtsf'4l.
Concerned that junkets with possible links to organized crime could harm their
businesses, some U.S casino executives were reluctant to enter Macau. Harrah's
Entertainment Inc [HAMLEH.UL). the world's largest casino operator, decided not to bid
for a gaming concession therel7'-'l. Michael Chen, Harrah's president for Asia, said in an
interview with Reuters last year that the company worried that its regulators around the
world would not permit it to run casinos in Macau.
That issue was front and center in the official report released by New Jersey gaming
regulators in mid-March regarding MGM Mirage's partnership with Pansy Ho.
Regulators cited the junket influence within her father's VIP rooms as a prime
concemf76J "The VIP rooms in (Stanlev Ho's} casinos provided organized crime the
entry into the Macau gaming market that. it had previously lacked," the report said 771 .
When Sands first won a Hcense in Macau in 2002, it was paired with Hong Kong-based
casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Groupl78l, but the U.S. company ultimately ended
the arrangement \/Villiam Weidner, the former president of Sands, in a deposition for an
unrelated Nevada court case in 2007, cited Galaxy's intent to run the VIP rooms in the
traditional Macau style as one of the reasons for the split.
''These guys want to do VIP rooms the way they ... do them in Macau where the ... triad
guys run them because they're the only ones that can grant and collect credit in
mainland China, and they smuggle the renminbi across the borger," he said. "I can't do
that business. That's tt1e way they want to do it, so I can't do it."r'uJ
Sands' major competitor, Wynn Resorts , said the company would decline its Macau
gaming concession if it was barred from extending credit and collecting debts directly in
an effort to avoid the junket system, according to company filingsfBO]

SJ001334

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00158

Appendix 4
But the U.S. companies realized soon enough that they could not compete with local
casinos without junkets.
China's high rollers tend to prefer the personal, informal relationships of the junkets,
experts say, and often demand a level of anonymity incompatible with the credit
applications required by the casinos[81 I

LOWER PROFILE
While triads remain active in Hong Kong, the gangs have burrowed deeper into
mainland China including cities like Chongqing and retain a strong imprint in Macau.
The triads are believed to have originated as a rebel grouping in the early Qing Dynasty
formed to help overthrovv the Manchu regimel82l.
Ko-lin Chin, a professor at Rutgers University and one of the foremost experts on Asian
organized crirner83l, disputes the regulator's contention that the triads are less prevalent
in Macau. But he said they do keep a lower profiie than before internationally owned
casinos entered the market and revenues grew from $2.26 billion to $15 billion today! 84 J
Even if crime groups are involved in the junket business, he says, with the casinos
making so much money, the government reaping huge taxes, and the citizens of Macau
enjoying full employment, there is scant political will to remove them.
"No one wants to crash the party," he said. "This is a feel-good story." (Reporting by

Dear Sir,
Request for Official Transcript, HKSAR v. SEE WAH ! UN AND OTHERS (HCCC1312009)

I refer to the above High Court Case, the sentencing of which took place on 27 October 2009.
On 30 March 2010, Reuters, the news agency published an article (copy attached for reference)
entiUed "Special Report- High-rollers, triads and a Las Vegas giant". According to the Articie,
an individual by the name Cheung Chi~tai was reportedly named during the aforementioned
Trial as a leader ofWo Hop To, a triad society. as well as being "the person in charge" of one of
the VIP rooms at Sands Macau, a property of Venetian Macau Ltd.
Following the publication of the Article, we have become a concerned party to the Case. As
such and given the severity of the allegations contained in the Article and the (potentially)
considerable reputational damage to my organization, we therefore request a copy of the
Official Transciipt of the Trial, with a view independently to verifying what was and was not said
during the Trial.
Your favourable and prompt response to this request would be appreciated.

Transcript of the A.udio Recording


of the Sentence in the above Case

_XHJR'f: See Wah-lun, Tang Ka~man, Wong Chi-man, Yeung Chun-kit and Chan Ho-leung,
in respect of each of you, I have considered everything urged on your behalf by your
counsel.And J have of course given separate eonsideration to each of you on the question of
sentence.
As far as you, See Wah~lun, is concerned, your offences under Counts 1, 2 and 4
are all related to the conspiracy lo rnurder under Count 3. 1 will pass concunent
sentences on you on all f()ur counts.
As far as you, the other four accused, are concerned, your offence under Count 1 is
related to the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent under Count 2.

1 \Vill pass concurrent sentences on each of you four on those two counts. And as
far as the role which each of you fiJur played, J will draw no distinction.
In respect of all t1ve accused, 1 will of course take the most .lenient view that can
reasonably be taken. The appropriate total sentence tor each of the five accused
will be achieved by making the longest of the concurrent sentences against each
accused rel:lect aU the appropriate elements of aggravation, including those which
come under another or other counts. Tbat will achieve the appropriate total but no
more than the appropriate total since all the sentences will be concurrent.
The maximum penalty for the offence under Count l (of acting as a member of a
triad society) is 3 years' imprisonment on a first conviction and 7 years'
imprisonment on a .second or subsequent conviction. 'fhc maximum penalty for the
offence under Count 2 (ofconspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent),

for the offence under Count 3 (of conspiracy to murder) and for the offence under

Count 4 (of soliciting to murder) are the same. It is life imprisonment.


As to the counts against all five accused, namely Counts l and 2, the position is

this. The evidence clearly indicates that the way in which the 1st aec.used acted as
a triad member is more serious than the way in which the other tc1ur accused so
acted; and his role in the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily ham1 with intent is
more serious than theirs. As against all five accused, it has to be said that the
grievous bodily bann which they conspired to cause with intent was to be carried

out pursuant to a carefully planned attack.


There are cases which Rhow that the sentence for causing grievous bodily harrn
with

intent commonly range

hom 3 years'

imprisonment to

!2 years'

imprisonment although everything wilt ultimately depend on the paliicular


circumstances. There are also casGs whid1 show that conspirators are not
infrequently punished in the same \vay as if they bad completed the offence \vhich
they conspired to cnrnrniL Again, it all depends ultimately on the particular
circumstances.
In respect of each of these five accused, I bear in mind of course that, behind the
scene, there is a person or are persons even more blameworthy than any of them.
Tuming to the l sl accused alone, the murder -.vhkh he conspired to commit and
'vhich be so.licited others to commit was likewise to be carried out to a carefully
planned attack. The use of stun guns and very deadly knives vvas part of the plan.
As far as mitigation is concerned, the only real mitigation available

is the

mitigation available to the 3rd accused in the form of his previous good character.
The other accused's criminal record -.vi11 of course not be held against them when
they are scntc11ced. I have serious doubts as to whether a previous good character

is effective mitigation jn a case like this one. But l vvi!1 err on the s.ide of leniency
if I err at all, and give the 3rd accused some discount, even though it cannot be
much of a discount, for his previous good character.
\

When it comes to the role each ofthem played, I will draw no distinction betvveen
the 2nd to .5th accused.
A court should always be as lenient as possible, but tbe seriousness of a case

cannot be ignored. The seriousness oC this case speaks for itself one.;.~ the basic

facts are noted. Each of these conspiracies involved a p!an to abduct a man in the
street and take hlm as a captive to a prepared location. In the first conspiracy, the
plan was to break his anns and legs at that loeation. In the second conspiracy, the
plan went even further. It vvas to kill him at that location.

All things considere,d, I will sentence as follo\0'/S,


lst accused, on Count 1, I sentence you to 2~1, years' imprisonment. On Count 2, l

sentence you to 11 years' imprisonment. On Count 3, I sentence you to J 4 years'


imprisonment On Count 4, l sentence you to l2 years' imprisonment. All the
sentences \vill be c.oncurrent. So you will go to prison ibr l4 years.
2nd accused, on Count l, I sentence you to t ~'2 years' imprisonment On Count 2, J
sentence you to 9 years' imprisonment. Those sentences vvill be concurrent. So

you \viU go to prison f(Jr 9 years.


3rd accused, on Cour1t 1, I adopt a starting point of l Y2 years. On Count 2, 1 adopt
a starting point of 9 years. For your previous good charaeter, I will give you such
discount as to sentence you to J year's imprisonment on Count 1 and to 8~S years'
imprisonment on Count 2. rhose sentences will be con<.:un"''nt So you will go to
prison for 8\12 years,
4th accused, I sentence you to J \'2 years lmprisonmem on Count 1 and a
concurrent ternl of 9 years' imprisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for

9 years.
5th accused, I sentence you to l 1/2 years' i1nprisonment on Count l and a.

concurrent term of Y years' impJisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for

THE NEW Il\"'TERNA'I'TONAL CRIMINAL A.l\TD ASIAN


ORGA.I'i'IZED CIUME
!NTROf>UC1'ION

Over t.he past decudr,, t.here has been <! substantial increase in
i'lshtn organ.ized crime ~wUvity in the lJniteJ State$. Asian organizt-d crime t,'1oups have extended their reach to a wide array of
c:rimimd activity, much of it violent. F.tJmic Chinese criminai
gToups have comt} to dominate the heroin .irnportmjon trade, whieh
appears tv be t~xpandin'. Highly mobile Vietrwme;H' street gangs
have turned to extremely violent home invasion robberies. Japa
n!)Se mobsters hav~~ reportedly been laundering money in the United St.ates a.nd making real estate purchases. In fact, while the De
partment of Justice now ranks Asian organized crime as its No. Z
priority nationwide just after La Cosa Nostra, there have been relativdy few successful prosecutions.
In response to this growing problem, and in light of the historic
interest in organized crime by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSl),l Sent~tor \\'illiarn V. Roth Jr., Ranking Mjnority
Mt:mber, with the concurrence of Chairman Sam Nu.nn, initiated
an investigation into Asilll1 organized crime groups in June, 1991.
The Subcommittee had three goals in this investigation: First, to
examine how these organizations are structured 1md how they op<~rate. Second, to identif; deficiencies and opportunities for improvement, in both domestic and international law enfortemer.t responses to t\sia.'l organized t~rime. A.nd1 ti.na lly, by publicly exposing
these organizations and identifying ttJeir principal members, the
Subcommittee attempted t,o neutralize their most important weap.
ons: Anonymity and invisibility.
Between October, 1991 and August, 1992, the Subcommittee held
5 days of hearings, and heard testimony from 40 witnesses. The
witnesses included representativ!JS from Federal, Stare and local
law enforcement agencies, the intell.igence community, and AsianAmericlll1 1.-ictims of orgMized crime activitie.s as well as current
and fOnner members of Asia..'1 orglll1ized crime !!Toups.
Th<: investigation led t.o lll1 inescapable conciusion: Today, Asian
criminal grcmps represent a pToblem of dramatic proportions, both
in the United States and int.emationally. Indeed, Asian criminal

aLmdenng, bnbery, busl!less extort.wn, allen smugghng, home m
vasion robbel'ies, computer chip theft, and credit card counterfeit
ing. While warnings hnve previously been heard about the possible

m:igralion of secret criminal triad organizations to t.he United


from thr~ir b;u,, in Hong Kong r>rior t:o the assumption of
control by t.l1!! Peolde\; Republie of China in 1997, the Subcommittee's invest.ig-!Ition reveal<td that structured triad organizations already exist. in tJw Unilr~d Statf's nnd in other countries around the
wodd.
A.sian crime i:~rll!lp:;' h1gh rnobiiity, inSctantaneous global communicat.ion:.;: c.<:tpa!.Jilit.y. and internali(ln<ll conneetinns suggest that
they represent. a d:w.]lt:ngt nf global dimensions to law enforcernenl
which cannot be snccr,ssfnHy rnd. by any single country or by any
single law enirm:enH:ni. agency. lndeld Asian crime groups represent a new breed of int(:rnativn.lll criminal. As Senator Roth stat
ed during the June lB, 1992 PSI hearing: "[Jsing easily obtained
phony oassports a.nd taking ndvantl.ure of newly relaxed inter
national tTavel restrictions ns wdl ns the greatly increased volume
of international trade, the mw international criminals trent national bordeTs as not.hing more than minor inconveniences to cheir
criminal enterprises."
Senator Nunn, the Chairman nf PSI, noted the need for inter
Sl.aL!;~;

ni.l.t.ional cooperation in con:frcn!.ing As.iun organiz.ed e:rime when h(;


stated, "Not enough progress ha:> D('t'll mndc in estnblbhing furnml

assista.TJce. Their international capabilities makes these Asian

criminals a world problem and one that we should be eage:r to address t.ogethel'."
The investigation ll.l1coveroo little {:vidence to sugge~t th!lt either
U.S. or foreign law enf)rcement entities are currently cqu.ipped to
meet the challenge of this new breed of international criminal. On
the contrary, it is clear that. the current la,w enforcement responses
are inadequate. Problems confronting U,S. law enforcement ngencies include lack of foreign language expertise, inadequate knowledge of Asian cultures and customs, .and limited success in gathering or sharing criminal intelligence.
At the international level, an entirely new approach is needed.
As Senator Roth stated at the June 18, 1992 hearing: "Our current
situation is .analogous to the 1920's when the United States ex peri
enced a rash of interstate bank robberies. Bank robbers, like the.
infamous Bonnie and Clyde, began using automobiles to rob bunks
and then quickly crossed State !i.ne.s, t1&ereby evading StaLe and
local law enfoTcement jurisdiction. While we eventually remedied
this problem by creating a Federal bank robbery statute, the solu
tions to the challenge posed by the nev,: international criminill are
not so obvious,"
Law enforcement efforts too often stop at international borders.
While informal contacts among law enforcement agencies have

SJ001346

PlaintiffEx.1102 00170

been expanding and ought to be strong'ly encouraged, the current
formal methods for exchange of information and evidence, as well
a.s for extradition, are inadequate to cope w:ith .international organiz.ed crime as we approach the 21st Century.
The Asian American populaticn in the United States hns grown
more rapidly in the past decade than any other ethnic [{roup. Thus,
it. may be exp0cted that A.sia.n crime would also gro">v. But the va.st
majority of Afiian Arnericans nre hard working, law abiding citizens. Indeed, there may be no other group of immigmnts lo America who have been harder working m: who have f(,,wer welfare reciPients than Asiun An1erkans. (}nlv a small fmetion of /\.";ian
Ainericans an' involved in organized crime. MoreHver, il must be
kept in mind that most victims af Asian organized crime groups an;
themselves Asian. Distrust of law enforcement authorit.i(:s. languagf; harriers and perceived law enforcement disi.ntarest. ha:_,t' all
contributed to the victimization of Asian Americans by i\;;ian OJgani;wd crime.
There is, unfortunately, an often unspoken, but m;vertheless
widely held view that becaus.:: most Asian criminal activities are directed against Asians, other Americans D(eed not be concenwd. The
Subcommittee emphatica.lly rejects that point of view, tlrst., bccause
all residents of the United States are entitled to proteetion, whatever their background, and second, because history demonstrates
that all or_ganized criminal ~oups in the United States, whatever
their ethmc origin, eventually extend their corrupting tentacles to
the larger community as they Sc:ek more power, influence, and prof-

ETb"NIC Cll'J!.IESE 0RGAl'o1ZED CR!Mfi:

BlSI'OPJCAL OVERVIEW

Ethnic Chinese organized crime grou?s in the United States are


of three kinds: Triads, criminallv-infmenced tongs, and street
gangs. Triads are secretive criminal fraternities that are primarily
headquartered in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Criminally-influenced
tongs are business associations located in many U.S. cities which
engage in lawful as weil as unlawful activities. Street gangs often
operate under the influence o:r sponsorship of tongs, but may also
operate independently. Both tongs and street gangs are often influ
enced by what ca.n be referred to as "triad subculture.''
Tl~<illS

Modern triads trace their history to secret polit.ical societies


formed in China during the 17th Century to overthrow the Chmg
Dvnasty and to restore the M.ing Dynasty w po,ver. The term
"trlad,n'later coined by British authorities in Hong Kong, is based
on the triangular symbol found on flags and banners of the early

SJ001347

Plaintiff Ex. I I 02 00 I 7 I

Appendix 7

secret. societies. The symbol represents t.he three essential elements


of heaven, earth, 8..\'1d man.
Because the early triads were attempting to topple the ruli11g elements of the day, and had, in fact, been persecuted in the past,
they developed secret forms of identification and communication.
Triads today remain obsessively secretive and closed niminal fraternities. Th,~ tri::lds also developed highly ritualized initial:ion cenz>mon.ies rn<>llllt to instill a strong sense of secrecy, tmd more importantly, it':ynlty to other triad members. Thirty-six oaths, most dNl.l
ing with loyalty to the lriad, traditionally arc part of the~;o initi ..
ai:.ions. Each oath f)!ilh with a prnrnis<~ of deaUt if i.he oath is hroken.
The existent:n of t.r-iadH is rnost ext.ensiveiy documented in Hong
Kong, where t.he number of triad rnembers is e.stimated to be in the
tens of thousands, and to <l lt;(>ser extent in Taiwan. Wltllo theru
is clear evidenee that triad members have engaged in crimi11al activities in tlw Unit.<Jd States, the ext.Hnt of triad structure and operations in the Onited StaLes is disputed among law enforcement.
Perhaps the best evidence of trinrl structure bel.ng transplat1ted to
t~e United ssates has b;1ery the recent Hs~endency_ of the I~ong
Kong-based Wo Hop 'f(l 'l'nad ;is the dommant As;;m organJzecl
crime group in San .Francisco, discussed in greater detail later in
this renort,
Triad societies a.ll display some degree of hierarchy, and a typical
triad has members Ol'ganized by rank. Each rank carries a title and

known as the "Dragon Head," and carries t.he rank "489." Other

or ''Wni~e Paper l''an 1n is in charge of planning and administration,
All other triad mem::Hrrs are known as ordina,ry members or sol
diets, and hold the ra.nk of "49." The relationships among individ
ual triad members are based on ties between "Dai-Lo's" {big broth
ers) and ''Sai-Lo's" (little brothers), where the Sail.o's give loyalty,
support and sometimes money to their Dai-Lo, in exchange for pro
tection and advice.
Although hierarchical in nature, triads tend not to be strictly
controlled from the top, in contrast to more familiar crime groups
such as La Cosa Nostra, Instead, triad members frequently branch
out into their own criminal ent11rprises. \v'hile the triad leadership
does not alwavs in.itiate and direct the activities of all the triad
members, triads clearly serve as international necworking associations that facilitate such activity. Moreover, monetary profits from
criminal activity of triad members often flow to the top in indirect
ways, su~h as thraugh gi~ts. Thisyr_ac~ice prompt.ea,,one knowledgeable affic<al to describe tnads as cnmmal Amways.

Further testimony regarding relationships among Chinese crirnt>


groups carne from Johnny Ken, ,, convicted heroin smuggler and
triad member. He noted the importance of the Chinese concept of
"Guan Shin in facilitating criminal relationships:
"Members of the Big Cirde get power from 'Guan Shi,'
which is a relationship among people, Through such relationships, Bi~ Circ.le members ean eall on triad members
or other Big {.,ircl!J rnembers for help,"
'l'riad membership is thus a valuable asset to the new inter
national criminaL Triad membership facilitates eriminal activities
in a manner similar l..o the way membetship in business associa
tiom faciiitn.tes the adivities of a legit-imate hnsine:>3ma.n. 'l'hu.s,
even. th.ough tr!ach, ~-s organizations,_ rmiy not control a wide. r~nge
of cnmma1 act1v1ty, rt. IS unport.ant. for law enforcement nfficwls to
understand, investigate, and dw<elop intdlig-ence about triad orga,
nizat.ions, because individual triad members are invariably in
volved in a wide range of cdminal acr..iv"ity.
Although the criminal activities of triad members can be thought
of as constituting both domestic and international activities, even
domestic activities such as illegal 9arnbling, extortion, and prostitution oflen have an international e<em~;~nt. For example, prostitutes
a:re imported or smuggled, sometimes against their will, over na,
tional borders, while proceeds from illegai domestic activities such
as gambling are often la.w1dered internationally. International ac
t.ivities indude narcotics trafficking, money laundering, counterfeit
ing currency and crdit cards, and alien smuggti.ng.
"Triad subculture" often permeates Chinese criminal groups in
the United States. In other words, some C.hinese criminal groups
in the United States, although not triads themselves, are influ,
enced by triad culture and traditions, characteri.zed primarily by
dtuahsm, obsessive secrecy and loyalty

SUN YEE ON TR!A!l

The Sun Yee On or San Yoe On, ~ometimos referred to as the


Yee On Commercial and Indu;;~rial Guild, is the largest. and most
powerful of the Hong Kong-based triads, Gons(~rvative eslimatM of
Sun Yee On membership count over 25,000 members, bul rna.ny estimates are signitkantly higher.
The Sun Yee On .vas founded in the early 1050's in Hong Kong
by the lnte H~'ung f:hin. i\:Iany of the early leaders of t!1e Sun Yee
On ~,;n; thought co nave been members of the Mainland-b<lsed H<Jd
Pang :>Ociety. 5 During t.hr; 1950's the Sun Yee On was lJHJ main
Hong Knng sodef.y of former residents of China's Ghiu Chau regioJL For most of its histcry, Sun Yee On has been active through

out Bong Kong! the f{<:.~\v (fi:rritories, and Kowloon,


The Sun Y0E' On ha> a present(' in the United Stat,-,s, Canada,
Australia, Tha.iland, Vietnam, and Mac110 in addition to Hong

Krmg. The group has been linkt>d to a vdd(' variety of crirnim;l a,;
including heroin trafficking and contml of the entertain
rneni. industry in Hong Kong.
The Sun Yee On continues to be controlled bv members of the
Heung family, specifically drrough the many sons of Sun Yee On
founder He\m~ C:hin. At. 58 years o!d, H~l!ng: Wah Ylm ~s the eldest
son of Hueng Chm and lS currently the tnad's Dragon HeadY
Thomas Heu:ng, also known as Heung Wah W1ng, is a Sun Yee
On office bearer and one of the brothers c.f Dragon Head Heung
Wah 'lim. Thomas Heung hDlds himself out as H trl:lnsportation
mer.ehant in Ron" Kong, but is repuled to be the Sun Yee On's l'irl
ancier and one of the t-riad's top leaders. In addition to his role as
tlr.a.nder, Thomas Henng is bcoiieved to act ae- 11 l.la.ison betwf!en
high ranlting police ofi'it~ers, governrnentnl ofndals, and prominent
businessmen.
Thomas Heung exercises influence in the United States through
associates in the Tung On Tona in New York's Chinatown. Thomas
Heung is the ~Dai-Lo'' or Big Brother of Cl.ifford Vv'ong, President
of the Tung On Tong, as we.ll as Wong's younger brother Steven
\'long, w1lo is known as "Tiger Boy," and who is a former leuder
of the Tung On Boys, a New Yorkbased streat gang affiliared wit.~

York."
Sun Yee On associates have been involved in the A.sian enter
ta.inment industry in the United States. Vincent Jew, the former
leader of the Wah Ching Gang in San Francisco is an associate of
the Sun Yee On Triad. Vincent Jew fled San Francisco to the Far

The 14K Triad comprises over 30 snbp-oups which include an es

~tructure, and many of its subgroups do not have firmly established leadership.
In Hong Kong, 14K members are involved in a wide range of
criminal enterprises including illegal gambling, extortion, prostitution, credit card fraud, and narcotics t-rafficking.
OTHER TlUAD GJlOliPS

The Luen Group comprises over 8,000 memhers in nt least four


subgroups. '1'he subJ,:rroup with t.he most inllu.ence in North .-:\:merica
is the Kung Lok Triad, which has a major base of operations in Toronto. Many Kung Lok members in Toronto have associates in the
United States The Kung I.ok controls entert.ai.ners from Hong Kong
who come to North America to perform, utilizing connections with
individuals in New York, Atlantic City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, to control such tours.
The Big Circle Gang, which is sometimes referred to as a "Mainland-based triad" is a relatively new group. This group initiarly
consisted primarily of former Red Army Guards who left China for

ClUML"iAU.Y-JNFLUENCF.D TONGS

The second tvpe of Chinese criminal group in the United States


is the criminafiy-influenced tong. Tongs hold themselves out as,
and in some cases are, lefiiit.imate business associations. Many of
the tongs in the United :::itates are national organizations with
chapters in cities that have large Ch.ines~e communities, These
tongs engag<' in a variety of legitimate activities and take an active
and public role in their communities. On the other hand, tongs also
have secret initiation ceremonies, a:nd they are, in some cases,
fronts for criminal activities.
The economic mainstay of most cri.m.inally-influenced tongs is illegal gambling. Not all members of such tongs are involved wjth
Hlegal activity, but officials and membeB of such rongs have been
i3T~timo::y

known to direct criminal enterprises that include extonion, drug


trafiicldng, robbery, and alien smuggling. Thus, tongs, while not
triads, do .in some respect imitate triad activity.
The typical organizational structure .of a tong is similar to that
of a corporation, headed by a president and vice president, oifi.
cers---ofhm including an auditor, public relations otficers, counsel,
and collector-and the regular members. Tlw regular members
typically pay dw)s and huv{ litth~ invDlvement in th~ operation of
the tong.
Th0 evidence that t.ong Jead,uship is involved in c:rinrinal act.ivit.k,s is substantial. ln September, 1H90, tho New York On Ler:mg
Tong, along with local chapt11rs in Chicago <Jnd Houston, were indicted on :racketeering, gambling, rmd tax dmrges. 10 Ati:er a 5
month trial, th~ jury t:(lnVided tb!, Chicago On Leong and three
other men of tax conspinH'Y but WM deadlocked on the rarketoeting charges. Other On Leong members were convicted of individual
tax d1~rges, a~1d the I:Ioustml On Leong pled ~'llilty to raeketH~ring.
A retnal on the deadlocked counts is scheduted. In Boston, Harry
Mook, a leader of the Chiw~M~ l"reemasrms, recently pbd guilty to
inyo}vement in a ~ub~tantial .money laur_1dering operation tmd for
bnblng Boston pohce. 1 The former pres1dent of the Three Mountain Association, a now defunct New YMk-based tong, i!> currently
jailed on dmg charges.
In order to prot{!ct a.nd further support their crimina[ activities,
tongs have, in many instances, affiliated with Chinese street gangs,
Most major New York City tongs me affiliated with a street gang.
Kenneth Chu, a former member of.both the On Loong Tong and the
Ghpst Shadows street gang testified to the close association betwE;en th<;1 Gh(St Shadows and the On Leong Tong. He asserted
that the Ghost Shadows wouJd not contimw to exist without the
support and assistance of the On Leong. 12
STREET GANGS

The third type of ethnic Chinese organi:?.ed criminal group in the


United States is the street gang. Chinese street gangs generally
consist of males in their late teens fu"ld eariy twenties. While some
gang members join voluntarily, others are coerced into joining. Cru
nese gang:s sometimes conduct. initiation ceremonies tnode!ea' after
triad tractition and ritual.
VVhile the organizational stmcture of the Chinese street gangs in
the United States appears to vary, all have some type of h.ierarchical stmcture. The Ghost Shadows, for example, have three or
ganizational levels. The top level consists of gang leaders referred
to as "dai-.los" or big brothers. These leaders are the ones most. like
!y to have contact with other groups and are the farthest removed
from the actual execution of any given crime. The second level consists of the lieutenants of the gang who ma.n<~ge che ordinary members. Finally, there nre the members, or street soliliers, known as

The fail of S~ligan to Communist (brces in 1975 marked Uu~ be

their major popttlat.ion centers are in 'fexas, N<Jw York, and Cflli
fomia. Califomia alone is <;stimat.ed to be the homo of nearly
700,000 Vietnamese.
Vietnamese gm1~p; are knovm to be highly mobile. Vi0tnum{lSfJ
gang meml:wrs often travel interstate, perpetrating a variety of
criminal acts in a short period of time. Such gangs utilize contacts
in various U.S. cities which were rnade in refugee camps in Southeast Asia,
Vietnamese crime groups ar<. g~mera.lly considered to be less or

gangs or as links between Vietr'll'tnleSE' a.nd Ghinese crime groups.
Detective William Oldham of t.he New York Police Departr:wnt
testified at the Subcommitte;:.'s October 3, .1991 hearing that many
Vietnamese ga.ng members came to the United States as refugees,
often as unaccompanied minors, in the early t-o mid 1980's. Many
of these individuals had spent 2 to 3 years in ofwn crime-ridden
refugee camps in Southeast Aslr1 before arriVing in the United
States and being placed in foster homes. These ycuths often ended
up on the streets becoming idea] candidate.s for gang membership
and gang-related acti<.rities.
Vietnamese crime groups are involved in a >dde range of crimi
nal activities. Sgt. Douglas .Zwemke of th<~ San Jose Police Department t.estifl.ed that th.e Vietnames~ crime groups have left "vir
tually no illegal stone unturned." He identified the ffil\ior .areas of
Vietnamese-related criminal activity to include: Extortion; fraud:

The official. membership of Bmyokudan gY(lUps in Japan is estimated to be 88,300, but them may be as many as len times that

Japam:se life, reauing substun.t.ial illegltiinate prol1ts and investing
in .m<>.ny lq;itimat,, businesses. Borvokudan have become incrt!Hs

Boryokudan members are actively laundering drug profits by purchasing American real estate., including golf courses and other
property. Botyokudan members are also involved in other criminal
activities in the United States, inc.luding murder, extortion, illegal
gambling, prostitution, and illegal immigration.
HISTORY

The roots of the Boryokudan can be traced to the early 17th Century, .vhen there exist-ed a lower class of jndependent samurai w~n
riors.16 These legendary fi~res have been the subject of many Japanese stories, and as banait herQeS, can be likened to Robin Hood.
Boryokudan origins can be traced to two other groups which
evolved during the 18th and 19th Centuries-street peddlers and
gambling gangs. 'f'he street peddlers were organized into gangs
wit.h complex organizational structures emphasizing total loyalty.
The gambling gangs were knovm as "Bakuto." Tattooing, which

the Boryokuda."1 to have inf1ue.r-:ce in political drcies,
where certain gang members have cultivated the favor of
a small number of poi1ticians." 21
The success of Japanese cr:imjnal groups on the domestie front
has been facilitated by their being allowed to operat-e in the open.
Boryokudan have functioned largely as public corporations, maintaining offices which display the:ir g:roup logo, and even carrying
business cards identifying their gang.2 2
The Boryokudan, until recently, submitted membership lisb to
the National Police Agency (NPA). While th" ,Japanese police have
recently used the substantial intelligence .base generated by these
li.sts to expand anti-Boryokudan efforts, a si!,,rnificant number of
Japanese. police o!Ucers have traditionally held some degree of respect for th> gangster.sJW Breaking with past acceptance of

how effective these laws v.ill be in counreracting Boryokudru1 power
and influence rn Japanese society. \Vhat :is clear, however, is that
the Boryokudan have attempted to disguise their activity by mov
ing their offices underground. Some Boryokudan groups have
changed their names in an attempt to masquerade as legitimate
businesses,
BORYOKUDAN OPERATIONS ABROAD

Over the ltJst three decades, Japanese organized crime has expanded overseas. VVhile Japanese crime groups hav<: been active in
Korea since the end of World \Var Il, Boryokudan prostitution operations in Korea t,'Teatly expanded in the 1970's. During that decade, the Boryokudan became deeply involved in the international
sex trade. B-:Jryokudan-controlled prostitution, pornography, and
"sex tour" operati-ons stretched to Taiwan, the Phillipines, Thailand, and Jatar to South America, Europe, and the United St.ates.

Boryokudan members have recndted American women from Hawaii and the West Coast. into prostitution in Japan. 25
Boryokudan operations in the Unired States during recent years
have included gun running, drucr traffic:king, gambling, extortion,
immis'Tation fraud, securities \riorations, and money laundering. ln
1985 Masashi Takenalut, the brother of the former boss of the
Yamaguchi-Gumi, was arrested in Honolulu for conspiring to buy
guns and rocket launchers, which were intended for use in a war
tlgainst the Ichiwa-kai, a now defunct rival splinter group in
Japan. Other members of the Yamaguchi-Gum.i were charged with
conspiring tc sell amphetamines

Bor.yokudan gangs currently play a primary role in bringing crys


tal methamphetamine, als.o known as "ice," into Hawaii, where it
is now regarded by law enforcement officials as the No. 1 drug
problem.
Japanese criminal figures routinely visit Las Vegas, and to a
lesser ext.eni, Atbntic City, on gambling jtwkets. A.dditionally,
Bcryok udan members hav<!?. been tied to ll.legal gambling operations
in the United States, 2 7
Boryokudan members have kept a low profile in extortion oper"
ations in the f.Jnited States_ Altheough Boryokudan corporate extor
lioni,;ts, knnwn a;l sekolya, made appearances at corporate board
mN~ting:;; ,lf sur:h eorr<panies, as Bank.Ameriea and Chase Manhat..
tan Bank in t.br~ early 1980's, these "visits" were cf little eonsequence. Neo recent attempts to strong-arm bluc chip Ameriran
firms have been documented. Street-level extortion ofbusinesses bv
Boryokudan has been reported in Hawaii and Southern California
in recent yea.rs, but such activ'ity has been minimal compared to
the high level of Boryeokudan ext~rtion operations in Japan.
Currently, U.S. law enforcement concern about Japanese crime
gyoups is primarily tocused on money laundering. Numerous instances e;dst where U.S. properties were pu.rchase.d by individuals
with alleged Boryokudan ties. Unfo:rtunately, the difficulty of ob
taining intelligence from the Jananese Natieonal Police makes t.hl.s
a particularly difficult area to document. A Boryokudan associate
testified before the Subcommittee that dose to 50 major prgperties
in Hawaii have been purchased with Boryokudan money. Property purchases have primarily been in Hawaii, Nevada, California,
and U.S. territories in t.lw Padfic~ Such purchases grew dramatically during the expansion cf the so-called Japanese "Bubble Economy," whkh ended in 1991. While it is unclear what effect the economic downturn in Japan will have on Boryokudax1 meoney laundering efforts in the United States, U.S. law enforcement authorities
are convinced that substantial sums of money are still being successfully latmdered in the United States.

and has been viewed as the ccnt.er of ethnic Chinese organized
crime in the United States. New York City :is distinguished in part
by the strong tradition of specifically delineated street gan~ and
tong territories, and by the wide prevalence of extortion of Legitimate Asian operated bus.inesses.

New York gangs and tongs are involved in a w.ide range of illegal
activities. These crimes include extortion, theft, alien smuggling,
drug smuggling, mun:kr, gambling, and prostitution.
New York Cil,'t', ns nuted ptevious1y, is th: destination for most
of the Southwst A.sinn hemin ente1ing the United States. In 1989,
in a single Gase, authoriti;~.s in .l\ew York City netted $3 million in
cash and 820 pounds of 90 percent pure Southeast Asian heroin
with an estimated street. vaiue of over $1 billion. It was the largest
heroin seizure in the United Staws at that time. and has to dat..e
resulted in over 40 arrests worldwide. 35 rn fact, New York City
serv-=s as the distribution center for most Southeast Asian heroin
wh.ich enters the United States. There is elear evidence Gu;t in{llvidunl tong oH:'icials a.nd street gang leaders are involved in heroin
traf'fir.k.ing, but organizat.ional involvemE>nr by the tongs and stn,et
gangs in drug trafficking appears limit.;.>d.
The so-caned godfather of Chinatown is Benny Ong. Ong, also
known as 'rUncle Seven," is the ofl:icially df,signHted ".advisor for
life" leader of the Hip Sing Tong located on Pe!l Streel Now in his
eighties, Ong has long bl!en associated with organized crime in
Chinatown. Mr. Ong invoked the J:<1ft.l:l A.men.dment. and refused to
answer questions dming a staff deposition.
The Hip Sing 'Tong is the sponsor of thr Flying Dragons street
gang in Now York. This relationship exists in other cities a.s welL
The Hip Sing's tra.d.itiona.l rival is the On Leong Chinese Merchants' Association. The On Leong Tong is hea.dquartered nabonally in New York City a.nd is currently headed by Chan Wing Wah.
His brother, Chan Wing Y(mng, resigned the post in April of 1989.
The Chan brothers, as well as the Nat.i<mal On Leong Association,
have bem intiicted in a ChicHgo,based R! CO prosecution which
charged 29 officers and associates of the National On Leong Tong.
The case recently resulted in a hung jury on the RlCO counts and
several individual convictions on tax eva5ion ch<uges. The case is
e~pected t.o be retried, A third brother, Chan Wing Lok, is the main
street leader of the affiliJlted Ghost Shadows Ganr:. Robin Chee and
,James Lee, aka "Bradley Joe," are also .street leaders of the Ghost

Shadows.
Another major tong Jn Chinatovm is the Tung On. The '!'w'1g On's
president is Clifford Wong, a.lta "Chi Fai Wong." Wong is widely believed to be a member of the Hong Kongbased Sun Yee On '1'rlad
which, among other activities, dominates the entertainment industry there. Wong was hea1rily involved v:ith Asian entert.J.linment in
Atlantic City unti1 his license was revoked in early 1989. Wong invoked his Fifth .t'\:mendment rights and refused t<J answer questions
when subpoenaed bofore the Subcommittee.36
The BTK, or Born to Kill Gang, is currently the most. n~ared of
the Chinato\o'.>TJ street gangs. Members are mostly of ethnic Viet
namese origin or are ethnic Chinese who grew up in Vietnam and
are considered more violent than the other street gangs. (See discussion, supra p. 13-14.)

NOUTHEH~ Cti.tlf<'O&.~:IA

The structure of Asian organ.ized crime on the West coast differs


from thal in New York City in two respects. First, while i11erH are
syme _reiati?ns~ip;; between gangs and tongs, p;nticularly in San
I! rn.nt?I&Co, the h.:~v~) ofponi:ruJ. e>;H::_clsed by tn~igs ~-~er gangs is ~.ub
stantwlly less on the \Jest const. oeeond, a Hong hong-based tnad,
Lhe Wo Hop To, has established itself as thB dominant force in
Asian organiz<d er-irne in the San Fr11neisco Bny Area by eHminating or co-opting oth>~1 gnngs. In both Northern and Southern Ca1ifornia~ (~thnic Ch.ine:-!.;s ('.t'rganiz(~d crinlt~ grou.ps often use young
Hlm1hers of Vietnnrnese str~]et. gangs to J.H'otn.ct garnbling dens~ <~x
tort nH~rdu:rnLs and conduct home invash}n n;bberies.

The Wah Ching Gang, under the l<:aden;hip ofVineent .hw:, was

crirninal factions ur,der tht' Wo Hop To umbrella., includina Oak
\and gangs, disgnmtled Wah Ch.\ng rnembe.rs, and several Viet
namese street gangs. Chong's activities prompted a number of retaliato.ry moves by thP Wah Ching. At: bast five murders of Wah
Ching and \Vo Hop To members have occurred, including the assassination of Danny Wong, the Wah Ching leader, on April 19, 1991.
Although retaliatory moves continue, the Wo Hop To is now in con ..
trol of virtually aU Asian organized crime in the Bay Area .
a.s previously stated, V.fo Hop To members are invoived in a wide
range of illegal activities in the San Francisco Bay Area, including
heroin trafficking, money laundering. extortkn, home invasion robberies, kidnapping, and assault. Peter Chong, the leader of the Wo

The fu.li impact of the r~e,~nf. law enl'<ncemenl efforts against the

tremely encouraging and are to be highly commended.'


Bay Area Asian gang actidty is not confined to San Francisco or
Oakland. In the South Bay, San .Jose has recently s<?en a massive
influx of Vietnamese immigrants. 'l'he Vietnamese population has
increased 500 perc<:nt in the inst decade, and now tot.als over
100,000, the largest in California. Tbere are several Vietnamese

gangs in San ,Jose, most nN..."tbly the Httng Pho, which has been
brought w;der the Wo Hop To umbrella. You.ng Vietnamese gangst'ilrs are involved in home invasion robberies, ear t.hdt, and extor
tion of merchants and gambling operations. 42
SOUTHERN CAL.tf.X)H.N1A

Southern California has three distinct Asian puptliatinn cenwn


The oldest {>f thes1~ is the downtown Los Angeie;; Chinatown The
second is the San Gabriel Valky, part of Los Angels,~ Cou.nt.y, in,
eluding communities such as Monterey Park, Alhambra, Rosemead,
and San Gabriel. Many of these cities have seen a dramat.ic influx

of Asians over the past decade, and Asian organized crime has acthis Asian i)1lmlg,r~tion. The San GaJniel Valley is home
to 1mm1grants from Chma, 'Imwan, and Hong Kong.
The third and newest Asian population center, sometimes cailed
"Little Saigon," is comprised of. t~ree cities in Orange County....Westmin.ster, Garden GN\'e, anct Santa Ana-home to more than
col!lp!H~ied

75,000 Vietnamese and more than 40,000 Chinese residents. 43


Large numbers of yotu;g \li('tnamese have had difficulty assimiiat
ing into American life. Thi~ has contributed to a rise in gang mem ..
bership and gang-p,,rpet.raLed violener,.
Orange County law enforcement authorities estimate t-hat there

are as many as 80 Indo-Chinese gangs in the region. These gangs


are often extremely vioi.ent and engage in home invasion robberies.

. In contrast in Northam California, ther is cur-rently no single

United Bamboo's Los A.ngele~ organization. The chart details the
involvement d' Benson Wang, aka \\'ang Chih Pin, in garnbling and
~'xtortion activilies on bt,half of the United Bamboo.'' 1 Benson
Wang was deported to Taiwan in Oi:toher, 1991, in t~onnection v:ith

The 'Nah Ching Gang is iJwQ]ved in cl'im.i.nal activity in the
downtown Los Angeles Chinatown and, to a ksser extent, in Mon
tE:rey Park and surrounding San Gabriel Valley cities. The V/ah
Ching is also active in semHegitimate businesses such as enter
tainment promotion and bulk leasing nf video cassettes. Both the
United Bamboo and the Wah Ching utilize et.hnie ChineseViet
namese gangs for intimidation and street-level activity, such a~
horne invasions and protection of gambling establishments. The
\Vah Ching Gang in Southern Califomia is led by Tony Yottng, aka
"Sweet Plum," the former lieutenant of Viah Ching: leader Vincent
Jew:'> Y(mng has a.lso been identified as an associate of tlw Sun
Yoe

On 1'riad:; 6 Be has used his Sun Yee On ties to bring Asian

r,nt)rtainment to Los Angeies.


r\sian gang activity "in Southern California appears to be ln a
stnte of tu:rnwil, influenced by the gang WfJ.rfare in Northern Cali
fornia as well as by the emergence of more independent Vietnam
ese and VietChing groups in Southern California. The Wah Ching
have been orchestrating Viet-Ching groups in streeL-level activities,
but have recent.ly experienced control problem~ as these young
group'; mature and begin to act independently. The United Bamboo
have previously utilized the Black Dragons (an offshoot of the
Ghost Shadows), t.he V-Boys and the Hung Pho Gang for street
level criminal activities. The affiliation of the Hu.ng Pho wit.h the
Wo Hop TQ in Northern Califomia, however, has created some
question as to whether these relationships will endure.

Ethnic Chinese Triad members are heavily involved in heroin

1986 and that t\v'o-thirds of that tntal originates in Southeast Asia.
Cohen reported that op.ium produr.t.ion in t.he gohl<m triangle is eur
n';ntiy at record levels. Growing areas appear to be spreading as
China has once again become an opium producer. Vietnam has also
becon1e a source for op-ium production.
Th<, increase in opium production in Southeast Asia coincides
w)th trends in the United States. The Drug Enforcement Administration's heroin signature program has found a substantial increase
in th,-, vroportion of Southeast A'>ia.n heroin entering the United
States 41 The DEA reported in 1991 that 56 percent of aU heroin
availabk in the Un.ited Stittes was of Southeast Asian orig:in.
In N;:,v. York, the street-level purity of iJ(lroin in 1991 averaged
41 percent, signitkantly higher than just :3 years ago. While purity
has steadily increased, the price of heroin has dB('IeE!sed. Eighty
eight percent of the heroin randomly sampled in New York was of
Southeast Asian odgin 4 ''
David Cohen of the CIA further tJ.'li.hfh,J that triad members
have e. long stanclJng involvement. in hBroin traffirking regionally
and intematlonal)y. Ethnic Chinese, many of whom an~ triad, rong.
or gang members, doa.ti.nate the Southeast !'\sian heroin business.
However, neither triads, tongs nor gangs appear to be currently involved, as organizations, in heroin trafficking. W11ile members of
these groups frequently utilize their membership to benefit their
heroin trafficking enterprises, the groups themselves are not typically part of the heroin smuggling.
The testimony of a convict-ed heroin dealer and 14,K triad member is illustrative. Confidential witness "Mr. 1'1-fa'' testified that
after initially operating a loan shark .and prostitution business in
Hong Kong, he got involved with heroin traJflcking through a 14K
associate from whom he purchased t.he heroin. H( also testified
that aft.er he began importing heroin into the United Si:.9.tes, he employed his "Httl~ brothers" in the 14K to help him launder the proeeeds back to Hong Kong. However, not all the members of h.is
drug smH"'fi.ling organization were members of his triad. In fact, it
is relativcly easv for triad members to form criminal associations
with members oi' other triads or l'tith outsiders.

At the Subcommittees October 3, 1991 hearing, former Ghost

illegal gambling enterprises cement the rel:Hionship between crimi

street gangs, Chu explained, provide protection for the tt>ng's illegal

Besides serving as a large and dependable source of revenue, illegal gambling i!l important to Asian organized crime groups for several other reasons. First, it allows gangs to launder their money.
Second, gambling activity provides potenti<~l victims of loan
shark.ing, residential robbery and follow-home robbery. Finally,
gambling debtors are sometimes recmit.ed as "mules" to carry heroin from Southeast Asia to the United States or for other criminal

tasks.

Asian gangs also take advantage of legal gambling venues to further their criminal acthrities. Lga.1 casinos operating in Nevada
and Atlantic City, as well as legal card clubs in California, have,
in recent years, made special efforts to attract Asian customers.
Ma1<y of the large casinos are now offering Sic Bo, Pai Gow and
other Asian games. The marketing efforts of tho various casinos
have attracted not only the legitlrnat.e gambler, but somu Asian or
ganized crime figures as well. Numerous Asian o-rganized uime figures, including some from Hong Kong and ;Japan, patronize American casinos. They are usually known as "high rollersn who gamble

Card clubs in both Northern and Southern California have been
exploited by Asian crime groups. In the mid-1980's, Alfred Chu,
also known as Chu Kong-Yin, was the manager of the Kev Club,
a cardroom in Em<nyville, which is acljacent to Oakland. Chu has
been identified as the former leader of the San Francisco-based Wo

In March 1991. arrests were made in connection with a brib0ry

EXTOR'flO.'I

One of the Llrimarv activithls of eth.nic Chinese street eanp in

York City's Chinatown. One academic study of New York China
town merchants indicated that more tlum 80 percent pay monthly
extortion tv street gan(?s in order to stay in business.s-1
The Subcommittee heard anonymous testimony from two New
York Chinese businessmen about gang extortion techniques. 65 New
York Asian streut gangs employ. numerous techniques to extort
bu~i;nesse~; !''or toxample, gar:g m'embers may ask a_pus.iness owner
u, myest m the gan" busmess or make a cont.rmucwn to some
caus<:. Gangs are also known to ask for substantial discounts from
businesses such as restaurant-s. During Chinese holidays, gang
members often sell festival- related goods to merchants at grossly
inflated prices.
But the most typical rrwtlwd of t?Xt0rtion is to denw.nd mont.hiy
payments of a specified urnount. T'be amount generally depends on
t.he tjt1)e of business involved and more importantly, on the profit
ability of the business. A small business that is not particularly
profit.able might pay the relatively low amount. of $108 or $208 per
month. As the number "eight" in Cant:.mese rhymes with the word
f~r prosperity in Cantonese, gm1gs often ask for amounts ending in
that number.
In New York's Chinatown, where e:..'torticn is most extensively
documented, gangs have tended to extort merchants located on tJ1e
specific streets controlled by the gang. This practice, ht>wever, ap
pears to be breaking down a;; the gangs become more competitive,
and a~ new gangs, including Vietnamese gangs, become involved in
extortton.
HOME LWASlON HOBJJERIES

One of the most frightening of all Asian or~anized crime activities is the home invasion robbery. In a typical home invasion, gang
members enter a home, tie up the inhabitn.nts, and terrorize, torture, beat, and rob them .

H<)me invasions are typically committed by strHd gang rnemrwn
who target a particular home after intelligence has been gat.h<'n:d
about the residents. Home invasion gangs are sometimes ad hoe
groups whose members are from outside the area where the roh
bery is perpetrated. Home invasion gangs Hre highly mobile, often
entHring a city to co.nunit one or more ho!nB irrvas-ions$ then travel
ling i.o another part of the country to commit more invasinns or to
"cool off."
Preventi11g and prosecut.ing home invasions are difficu.lt tasks.
Many home invasions go urtreportecl because of intimidation of vic
tims and because of distrust of law enforcement among the Asian
community.
One innovative rcspons~' t..:l home invasions involves a San Jose,
California Polic<: Depmt.ment sting operation. The sting operation
employed an informant who put out the word that he was inter
ested in participating in home invasions, Those who volunteered to
participate were then invited to an a.partm.en!. equipped with vid(>O
cameras where the proposed robberies were planned in detaiL 'I'he
police arrested t.he participants as thev drove to the site of the pro
posed home invasions. The sting operation resulted in mu.ltiple ar
rests and a subsequ<>nt reduction in reported home invasion robberies, at least for a time.
PsosrmrrioN

Most As.ian organized r.r:irne gnmps, both in the l"ar East and in
the United States, are involved in prostitution. Triad societies
largely control prostitution in Hong Kong; and triad, tong and
street gang members a:re .also involved in pro:>Lit.ution oper.:stions in
lhe United States two b"iad xnembers who t"st.ified before the Sub
committe<' noted their involvement in prostitution in the early days
of Lhr~.ir erint:inal careers. ~r.lr. :r.1ht t.o]d the Subcornnrittee on rJunE
18, 1992 that he ''opened a 'call girl centt'2r' after obtaining the ap
provEd of my 14K triad gnmp.n His prostitution business preceded
his involvement in more sophisticated heroin smu~gling operations.
Johnny Kon, a Wo On Lok 1nad m<)mber and a leader of a group
of Big Circle Gang members kJwwil as the Flarn.ing Eagles Gang.,
testified that he "began helping young Blg Circle leaders t.o set up
illegal businesses of their own in Hong Kong, I financed their oper
at.ions, which included prostitution. . . .n Kon's financing of pros
titution operations also preceded his entry i.nt.o the heroin business.
In New York, Subcommittee staff learned of a. typical massage
parlor employing ethnic Korean prostitutes. These women a.re frequently legal U.S. residents or citizens because of previously ar
ranged marriages to U.S. servicemen in Korea for which the .S<<rV
icemen are paid a fee. Once in the United States, the women typi
cally divorce and begin work in a massage parlor as arranged by
the prostitution organization that assisted in arranging their bogus
marriages. The women often become v'trtua1ly indentured servants
until their debts to the organization are satisfied. Taiwanese, Malaysian, and other Asian .\~Om<m are also imported to work as prostitutes. Most of these prostitution operations are controlled by eth
nic Chinese crime groups andior prot:Ct.ed by Chinese t1nd Viet
namese street gangs.

ALlEN SMUCCWNG

Chinese alien smuggling rings hnv(! been increasingly active in


recent years. There is evidenc" lhrtt organized Asian criminal
groups, attracted by the high profits (smugglers charge up to
$30,000 per person) ~md .low risks (penalties, even if smugglers are
caught, are low), are becoming mere heavily involved in alien
smuggling operations.
A study completed in April of 1992 attempts t<) quantify this
problem.'-h The study compiled information from interv-iews of
1,453 Chinese aliens who have been smuggkd to the Umted States
and includes information on a total of 108.975 such aliens 1.-ho
were smuggled between 1983 and 1992. BHsed on current arrival
rates, the stud.)' projects that smuggling entities are collecting more
than $250 milJion per month, which could potentially generate
more than $3 billion per year. Whatever the accuracy of these projections, Chinese alien smuggling organizations have clearly been
able to generate enormous profits from their operations.
Every smuggling group the Subcommittee examined involved
Asian organized crime Iigures. For example, one alien smuggler (or
''Snakehead" as Asiru1 aiien smugglers are e.alled) told us fh.at his
smuggling operation, which brought natives of Fukit:tn Province in
Mainland China to New York C.ity, was nm from Hong Kong by
a 14K triad member. 68
The largest current source of ill'"gai Asian imrn.igrants is the
rural and relatively poor F'ujia.11 Province of th!> Peoples Republic
of China. Aliens typically travel ft,om Fujian Province lc Bangkok
by air or overland. Once in Bru1gkok, they recE:il'e fraudulent identification papers and are then t1ov,n to a third country before entering the United States by land, sea, or air. Several popular smuggling routes -run through South ruJd Central America, because visas
for Bolivia, Belize, and Panama are readily purchased by the smugglers. One route took a Fujian native through Beijing to Bolivia to
Miami and then to New York.
Usually the aliens being smuggled do not pay the entire charge
before departure. As one INS agent stated, "ff vou have $30,000
and live "in Fujian Pro0..nce, there is no :reason to 1eave because you
are one of the richest people there." In such cases, t.he alien, cr his
re1atives, become indebted to the smuggling organization. When an
alien is unable tD pay, New York street gangs are sometimes hired
to threaten or even kidnap the individual a-"\d hold him to ensure
payment. 69 There are also reports of recently smuggled aliens

At Uw Subcomm:iltee's June 18, 1.992 hearing-, the F'inancial


Cnrnes Enforcement Network U'inCEN) of the Department of the
Trerts.ury reported that Asian nrgan.ized crime groups were engaved
in a variety of large-scaie moru:y !at1ndedng operat.ions. Like otner
organized crime groups, Asian groups are necessarily involved in
laundering the proceeds from their Hlegal operations.
On August 4, 1992, Johnny Kon, also known as Kon Yu-Leung,
testified before the Subcommittee. Mr. Kon is a former leader of
the Flaming Eagles Gang, a distinct group of Big Circle Gang
members. Kon is alstl a membe.r of the Wo On Lok Triad, and is
currently serving f.l 27year srmtence in the United States for heroin trafficking. Kon successfully imported over 1,000 pounds of her
oin into the Un.ited States b<.liore he was arrested. Kon testifie.d
that "Mv multi-million dollar heroin proceeds wer invested around
the wor'id,l inchtding inv(!stmcnts i.n New York and San Francisco .
. . My share of profits from heroin smuggling totalled over $10
rniliion. Much of this was invested in the United States." Mr. Kon
laundered the proceeds of his U.S. hero.in sales by purchasing real
estate, ar1d by having associates carry heroin money back to Hong
Kong.
FinCEN representatives testified that Hong Kong was being used
as .a launderi~g site _for much of the. illicit pf?Ceeds generated by
Chmese orgamzed cnme groups. Bes1des ser;rmg as headquan~ets
for most criminal triad groups, Hong Kong also serves as an impor
tant and highly sophisticated international banking: center. Moretwer, Hong Kong has no currency exchange controls and no currency transaction reporting requirements, making it a11 attractive
center for both legitimate .and illegitimate financial activities.
In lflf).l the amount of inbound currency !'rom Hong Kong to the
United States, according to C'MIR filings, increased 540 percent to
over $3.8 billion. Outbound currency to Hon"' Kong from tlte United
States, on the other hand, was approximately $1.2 billion, creating
an imbalance of $2.6 bilhcn. Hong Kon"' is the second largest
repatriator of U.S, currency. \Vhile no one kows how much of tlris
hug~: surplus of U.S. currency is generated by criminal enterprises,
it is bel.ieved teo be a significant percentage.
Law enforcement in this country has made little progress in at
tacking money laundering among ftsi.an organized crime groups.

Despite t.he fact that. Japanese organized crime groups are believed t':J have invested hu.ndred;:; of millions of dollars of profits
from thei.r criminal enterprises in U.S. real estate during the past
decade, U.S. law enforcement authorities have had a.lmost no suetess in dealing with thi;; probkm. Tlw reasons are twofold: First,
U.S. officials face almost insurmountable difficulties in tracing the
source of Japanese funds used tG purchase U.S. properties; second,
even if such infon:nation is obtained, loopholes in current U.S. law
on money laundering make successful prosecut.ion unlikely .
.!\dditionally, ,Japanese polict' aui.hi';ritins arE> reluctant to supply
information about members of .Japant~'"' orgr.mi:wd crime to American authorities, apparently in part {H.1f.. of' fN;.r of civil liability
under Japanese law. At least two instanres hav<) lwen rf:ported to

major properties in Hawa.ii which >vere bought with money generated illegally by the Boryokudan, and I know that personally.
From my own experience, my educated est-imate is that. there am
probably doser to 50 major properties in Hawaii which have been
purchased. These properties include resort hotels and golf courses.
All such prop,~rties ure f'ronts for Boryokudan money laundering."
In his testimony, "Mr. Bully'' gave a detailed description of the
methods by which Boryokudan groups la.under money in the Unit-ed
States:
Japanese holding companies capitalize the U.S. companies, which then provide th.e vehicle for further investment. The companif.'s .attempt to evade U.S. taxes by filing
false documE:nt~ and false reports with the IRS, until the
authoritie~ catcb on. As soon as the IRS gets suspicious,
the Boryokudan 1vill fold up the front company .az1d send
the money, which has been laundered, back to Japan."

According to the testimony, Hacbidai SangyD Coq-.oration "is a
development company in the real estate area, and they, in fact, got
financing fiom Homan and they purchased ru1.developed l'<1a1 estate
on the east side of Oahll. . . . If you look at this chart, you dw
see th~J~: t.hr. H.'J.chidai Sangyo Corporation here does net have any
dir~<ct. rdationship with Itoman & Company. Therefore, to recdve
the loan fTom Itoman, they at Hachida.i Snngyr) tfllked to an lnflu
entia] person at I.tomnn, to have him help fin the loan. And as is
written on dw chart, they would then give the gift. to th(l
Boryokudan associHle (for in~r,,ducing Hachidai Sangyo n~pre.sentt'l
tives to the ftoman &. Company repmsC!nt.ative.l and therefore, they
(an associate of the Sumiyoshi-kai Boryokudan group) .vould receive a finder's fee of[) io 10 percent of the loan."
~(1vlr. Bully'' pro~tided a t\nthcr exan1pie~ d.ct.a.iliog the high f.>l~oflie
purchase d the Pebble Beach Country Club in rvronterey, Calii.brnia, one of Amerit:a's most famous golf courses. Pebble Beach was
bought by Mi.<1oru lsutani, through a number Df holding companies,
including Cosmo World Company, for H n.!ported price of $S41 million i.n September 1~190.
The Pebble Beach purchase was brgely financed throu&h loans
from !toman & Company to Minoru Isut.ani's Cosmo Wond Company. "Mr. Bully" detailed the Boryokudan link to this financing:
urn Japan, there is a man c.a!led Mr. Shigeru Sato. He has
associations v.oi.th members of almost
of the main
Yakuza groups, ar1d sometimes sel'Yes as atl intermediary
amon~ these individuals. Sat.o also uses Yakuza members
as boayguards.
"The Su:miimno Bank wanted to bnv ll bank . , . which is
35 percent owned by Mr. Sat.<r. He rtgreed t.o sell, and
therefore, very highranking people ai SumH.omo felt an
obligation to Mr. St<to . . . [who] owed favors to certain
Ya..lmza associates. . .. These peoplt! were plac{ld with
ILOman wh.ich is a .su.h~iJ.li[Jry of Surnitomo. For example,
the person i:n charge of real estate, development at ltoman
becam& one of these Yakuza associates. The Boryokudan,
therefore, have substantial influence on Itoman, in part,
because they were aware of the deeds of Homan. Itoman
loaned to Isutani money, which enabled him to purchase
the Pebble Beach Golf Course. . . . Itoman would have the
right to sell memberships to Pebble Beach Ckllf Course in
lieu of payment, the principal and interest payments by
Isut.ani."
Th" Pebble Beach purchase was undennined in 1991 ,,,..hen Cali
fornia regulators denied Cosmo \"lorld's request to sell memberships to the course, which is on land under the supervision of the
California Coastal Commission. The go1f course was sold in Feb
r-uary 1992 for $500 milbon, 40 percent less than the originally re
ported purchase price, to a Japanese investor group. Minoru
Isutani has also been involved in a number of other U.S. business
ventures.
In addition to the Boryokudan lin.k to the Pebble Beach purchase, Isutani has been identified by a hi(;h-ranking member of the
lnagawa-kai Boryokuda.n sy11dicate as having used Boryokuda.n

connections in his golf business in .Japan. The lnagawa-kai member


also claimed that. Isutani ran gambling rackets when he wus
younger. 70 Mr. Isuta.ni has hen hivolved in other businesses wh.ich
fit the so~called "Bo:ryokn.dan profiie," inclu.ding companies which
run bath tlouses, a popular Boryokudan business in Japan. More
over, Japanese pres.;; reports havo? !inked Mr. Isutani to one of .II!
pan's biggest scanda"ls., knov;n as the HH.ecrulf) scandaL 1'his seanv

The s.~iz11re was in connection with <L'l ongoing investigation into
Mizuno's tLS. 1nvestments.
Mizuno was arrested in Japan in February 1992 on charges of

corporate tax evas.ion and fraudulent sale of golf memberships, generating some $800 mi.llion. He allegediv sold 51.000 memberships
while advertising that only 2,000 wouJJ be sold. The membetships

runs a finance company called Aichi Corparat.ion in Japan.

owns two golf courses in CaHfomia and one in Arizona. H(! also

Losses resulting from counterfeit credit card actwJty have risen


dramatically over the past few years. Technological innovations
during t.he mid-1980's managed to stem a previous spurt of counterfeiting, but the criminal sophistication of Chinese criminal
groups based in Hong Kong has led to a notable n:surgence of credit card counterfeiting in the past few years. Hong Kong-based coun

An interesting twist in the eounterfeit credit card problem has
been documented in Canada, where Asian ga:ngs have been able to
obtain the cooperation of certain merchants through extortion. In
this scenario, gangs procure stolen cred.it ct,rd numbers and print
the numbers on s.imple white plastic cards Merchants are intimi
dated into agreeing or voluntarily agree to charge a [o.rge amount
of merchandise on these obvionsiy counterfeit cards. Cooperatiw;
merchants avoid violence, while gang r.nemlwl"s make off with the
merchandise and banks are left with tlw losses Another significant
aspect of this crime is that merchants who participate in this activity, either through coercion or otherwise, become an active part of
the conspiracy and are thtts .less likely to report the crim;J,
In the United States, the primary responsibility for combating
cotL'1terfeit credit cards liils with the U.S. Se<:rot Service. Unfortu
nate1y, the Secret Service has not made counterfeit credit cards a
priority, contending that the use of such cards is not currently a
major problem in the United Statns. That assertion is contradicred,
however, by credit card company statistics which show a dramatic
increase in U.S. losses to COI.ll'1Wrfeit credit cards.

CHALLENGE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

A.s.ian organizc;d crime poses a profound challenge to law enforcement in the United States a:nd worldwide. That cha!lenge is not
currently being met. In the United St-ates, there has been a failure
to make Asian organized crime the law enforcement priority it deserves to be, and there has also been a failure to recruit and hire
su...'fkient personnel fluent in A.~:ian languages and knowledgeable
about Asian culture.
Inten1ationa1ly, there is a need for much great-er cooperation
among Jaw Enforcement agencies and development of streamlined
methods for (:xchanging evidence and informat.ion. The Justice Department ranks Asian orga.r.):r.ed crime as a No. 1 organized crime
priority in only one city-San Francisco,<~> and prosecution cf A_sian
organized crime is uneven at best. While one U.S. Attorney's office,
the Eastern District of New York, has filed a large number of cases
i\g.ainst Asian organi:r.ed c:ime figures, most other U.S. Attorneys
have filed lew such cases, even those with large A~ian populations
and substantial Asian organized crime acti\rity.

The problem of law enforcement's inahifity to adequately ~otddress
Asian organix.ed erime is compounded in the face of technically sophisticnted cr.ir.nes such as money laundering, The Financial
Crimes Enftrrcernent Network (F1nCftN) found in its studv of Asian
organized crinw t.haL due to such factors as lingt1istic arid cultural
barriers, U.S. law enforcement had litt.le knowledge of money laundering methodotogy employed by Asian organized crime groups.
The abs<~nce of adcqmlt-e intQmatiorwl law enil>rcerncnt cooperation is also a mnjor imp(~diment. to the fight against Asian organized crime. Tho h~vel and c,xt;ent. of coop.;,ration bet'.vecn U.S. law

Law enforcerncnt cooperati-on bet\vecn tbr: Uo.itt~d St~H:es and

Hong Kong is generally thoughL to be good, yet not l'tithout problems. These problems could increase as Hong f{ong prepares t.o b(:
taken over by the Peopk's Republic of China (PRCj in 1997. A
growing concern is that Hong Kong ofl'icinls will cooperate l<!ss as
1997 approaches so as not to appear overly friC'ndly with western
law enforcement and invite the animosity of Lhcir future M.ainland
Chinese sup.eriors.

Theoretically, 1997 will not affect Hong Kong law enforc(~m:mt.


Under the "one country-two systemsn arrangement called for by
a series of Sino-British agreements, Hong Kong lEw enforcement
will remain separate from law enforcement in the PRC, In addition,
.an independent judiciary is to remain in place in Hong Kong. Many
top Hong Kong officials will, however, be replaced w1th PRC offi
r.ials. Voluntary departures of both high and low level Hong Kong
iaw enforcement personnel are also expected.
\-v"hile current working relations between U.S. and Hong Kong
law enforcement are good, cooperation appears to take place primarily en a case--bycase> basis. For example, while Hon"' Kong au.
t.horities may provide information abou.L individual triad members
upon request by U.S. law enforcement, they will not Sl.lpply U.S.
law enforcement ag1mcies with a general list of Hong Kong triad
rnernbers.

individuals are, in fa;!t, in Ta.iwan,
The lack of an extradition at,'T?ement with Taiwan also affects
Taiwan's efforts t.o enforce its own laws. Taiwanese officials presented the Subcommittee ;vith n list of 87 raiwanese citizens who
faced criminal charges in Taiwan but were believed to have i1ed to
the United States. Although most of these fugitives are charged
.vith economic crimes such as embezzlemeni, some are sought for
violent crimes. 90
Contributing factorll to the current lack of cooperation may in
part be attributable to the fact that the Unjted States does not recognize Taiwan diplomatically and does not have any law enforce

Canada am active in heroin trnflir.king, extortion, illegal gambling,
robbery, prostitution, murder, r.nonBy .!HtmdErring, and fraud. The
potential impact on the United States was outlined by Detective Inspector .Roy '1'eeft of the Toronto Joint Task Force who testified
that in excess of lOG Triad members had lllready applied for immigration into Canada frorn Hong Kong in anticipation of 1997. He
add<;d that "Over the past few years, our lax immigration laws
have afrected our American neighbours by allowing criminals into
Canada who have been using our country as a sprin~oa.rd int) the
U.S.A. wher-e they ront.i.nue the.ir criminfl1 activities.'
Hong Kong residents do not need a vha to enter Canada. Canada
is act.ive.ly trying 1:.0 attract immigrants frorn Hong Kong viho could
infuse capital into the cotmtry. The Canadian Constitution ~;"ives
anyone present on Canadian. soil nyany of the, riP.hEs of a citizen of
Canada and makes deportation a tengtlly ana cuffi.cult process. In
addition, information gathered througn intelligence channels is not
admissible in 1nnnigration hearings.
Canadian authorities need to
abie to exclude triad and gang
members before they arrive on Cs.nadian soil. As Detective Yates
of Toronto po.inted <mt, "Not only can we expect a gro'lvth of Triad
members "v:ithin Canada if thev are not refused entry, the number
of potential victims of crime v.ifl also increase dramatically." 114

1. Streamlined and formal mechanisms for exchange of evidence.

6. 'I'hose countries wh.ich eil'ectively !;erv,, as sanctunries for
intematlon.al criminals by their refusaf to extradite such crim.inals,
or to prosecute those within their bounda.rius who engage in international criminal activities, should be subject to international sam>
tions. Gonside1atlon should be given t.o expanding 22 U.S.C. 2291.
which imposes sanctions on countries not cooperating in thH fight
against drug trafficking. Sanctions could be expanded to include
th;-se countries sfonrin~ as s~nctua0e~. for the new int1mwtional
cnmmals who are mernnars nt orgamzed cnnw groups, wnether en
gag<:d in drug trafficking or other intematio!H1l criminal activity.
7. Major efforts are necessary to improve Jaw enforcement co
operation with Taiwan. A recent n~:,rreernent between the United
States and Taiwan provid.ing for exchange (rf evidence and wit
nesst'<s in criminal prosecutions is an important first step. NevH~
theless, Congress shou.ld amend the Taiwan Relations Act, to re
move any doubt that may exist as to wh(!ther the United States
can enter into an extradition agreement with Taiwan, and such an
agreement should be negotiated as soon as possible. U.S. Jaw enforcement liaison o.ffidals should be stationed fu.ll time in Taiwan
(with the consent of the Taiwanese government) to establish liaison
channels for excha."lge of information and evidence about criminal
activity of mutual interest.
8. \~ihile the Japan-ese Government has recently adopted new
:mti-organized crime laws, the effect of these laws remains to be
seen. What is clear is that the heretofore anemic ,Japanese law enfon:~ment efforts against Boryokudan ga.ngs have had an adverse
impact. on the United States and other countries where the
Borvokudan have begun t0 extend their influence and investments.
The fa.ilure of Japa.'1ese law enforcement officials to share infom1a
tion and intelligence about Borvokudan members in e timelv fash
ion and in a ftJlm which is legally admissible in U.S. courts has se
verely h;mdicappl.':d U.S. lavt enforcernent efforts.

The ex<;cutivo branch should make a priority the neg.otiation of
formal and informal agreements with Japan to promptly Jmprove
law enforcement cooperation in part:icular evidence, information,
and inteiligence sharing.
In furtherance of this effort, the 8t.ate [hmart.ment should amend
current visa re5>ulations to make Bor;;okudt:i.n membership an inde,
pendent basis for den:ying a visa. While Boryokudan members with
criminal records are curren(:ly subje.ct to visa dan.ial, many
Boryokudim members do not hHvE, Hrrest records.
9. As the 1997 PR.C takeov~?r of Hong Kong appronchks, in
creased strains in the current good working relaLionship HnHmg law
enforcement authorities may be anticipated. The United States
should cont.irn.<.e b.) press Hong r-:ong and British authorities for better int.elHgenc(-) sharing r(~g;irding t.riad HH~rnbers ~1nd organizations. su~pped u.p effort~ by U.S. CODSlJiar and immigration officials
to prevent triad rnemlwrs from coming to the United States are
necessary. TiHo rec<mt State Department initiative makJng triad
memb.;rship an independent ground for v-isa denial is encouraging.
Negctiution.s should continue and be completed as soon as pos.
sible to ensure that law enforcement cooperation between Hong
Kong and the United States will continue post-1997 under the uone
country-two systems" concept.
DoM5'Tlc lNtTI.ATIVF.S

On the domestic level. substantial add'it.ional attention and law


enforcement resour.ces must be devoted to Asian organized crime.
1. Law enforcement officials at all levels hnvl' end()rsed the task
force approach, This approach hdps to diminnte jurisdictional ri
valries which have proved to bf n nwjor hinderance t~l law enforcement efforts to combat Asian organized crime and allol'lS law en
forcement personnel t.o take nd\..-n.ntH(;<!: of dh~parate laVt' enforct-Jment jurisdiction and expertise.
The task force approach should bl.' imp!emented to combat Asian
organized erime in all jurisdictions where practical. The tasl> force
should be a partnership of Federai, State and local iaw enforcement entities. In some cases, a case speciflt: !.ask force could be established that would later expand to an ongoing task force. Task
force participa11ts should, where possible, be housed in t.~e same location.
2. Law enforcement agencies at all levels in the United States
should recruit and hire Asian language speakers and train current
employees in Asian 1anguage skills.
To combat Asian organized crime it .is essential that individuals
proficient in Asian languages and knowledgeable about. Asian cul
ture work at alJ levels of law enforcement. Such persons are essen
tial for encouragi..?Jg community cooperation, conducting undercover
operations, and developing cooperative witnesses. Lingtdsts are
needed to l1e!p manage cou.-:i; authorized wiretaps and perform
other essential functions.
Law enforcement agencies should also utilize the foreign Ian
guage expertise of other agencies. For exarnp!e, Department of Defense language specialists have provided occasional assistance to
Federal law enforcement agencies. These efforts should continue.

U.S. law enforcement ageneks have thus t:ar failed t;o make seri
ous efforts Lo recruit Royal Hong Kong PoHce offida!s, despite the
fact that most ~vitncsses who testif1ed br,fore tht! SubcornmitterJ
agreed that such an endeavor would be fruitful. Many Royal Hong
Kong Police oiiicers are reportediy interested in leaving Hong Koug
prior t.o 1997. Canada and Australia are currently exploiting this
potential resource, and the Unjted States should do the same. If
necessary, Congress should enact 1egislation to facilitate such re
cru.iting efforts.
S. Law enforcement a~;encks al all leveb should implenH?nL
measures desig-ned tn r~ach out to /\sian communities in order to
g!.dn their trust and underst-anding., Such measures mny ind.ude
Lelephone "hotJines" which allow crimes to be reported in Asim1
languages; aggressive public information pmgnuns designed to in
crease reporting of crime; and joint Federal-locnl efi~?rt.s lo develop
better relations v.'ith lociJ.l Asian commw-Jitit:s.
4. The U.S. Secret Service, which has primary responsibllity for
enforcement of credit card fraud st-atutes, should d}Vote sufficient
attention and resources to the growing problem of A:;ian organized
crime .involvement In fraudulent credit card manufl\cture and distribution. While manufacture of fraudulent cards is centered in
Southeast Asia, the impact is being felt by U.S. consumers who ultimately pay higher interest rates to cover the losses suffered by
card issuers.

5. U.S. law enforeHment efforts against ll.sia:n organized crime


money laundering are weak, uncoordinated and ineH:ocUve. The
1991 surpius of $2.6 hillion returnin<> to the Unit-ed States from
H_ong Kong sugg;est tho in;men:;ity of t~e problem. The. e;,;ister_Jce
of such a large 1mbalance m currency !1ows can bo an mmcatwn
of illegal money laund.~ring activity. Ji'or example, one billion dol-

lars per year in surplus currency returned from Panamu to the


Un iteci Stat('S in the mid-1980's. This surplus was cited as evidence
of t.he use of Pe..namanhra banks f(1r money laundering by South
American cocaine cartels. 95 Neither the Interr<al Revenue Service,
U.S. Customs, DEA nor the FBI, all of which have jurisdiction in
the money laundering area, have thus far had a significant impact
on A<>ian organized crime money laundering,
The IRS, in particular, should crack do10m on the legal California
ca:rd duns, These clubs, which have in some cases become centers
for .A,sian organized crime activity, including money laundering,
have thus far escaped close Jaw enforcement. scrutiny. Treasury department reguJat.ions should be clarified to make clear that such
clubs are required to file reports det-ailing large cn.sh transactions.
In addition, the State of Califomia shou.ld move to exercise more
effective control over the operations of these clubs.
6. Asian organized crime figures are taking advnntage of the new
commm1ications technology. Law enforcement must keep pace with
technologiea1 developments. New digital telecommunications technology, for example, poses potentially significant technical prob.
!ems for aut-horized wire intercept capabilities of Jaw enforcement
authorities. Legislation may be necessary to ensure that law en~Hearing

IMMIGRATION fSSUES

Immigration lnws and practkes musl be reformed to help limit


easy access of Alrian organized crime mem!x:r$ t.o the United StatN;
anci speed deportation of such memb(~rs.
L Current penalties for alien snmggling and visa fraud are inadequate ..Alien srnugglin~ has become a lucrativ<o business for Asian
organized crime operative;, who run little risk of prosecution or of
serious penaltie3 E,ven when they are pro$er;uted, Under current
sentencing guidelines, eonvictions currently resu.lt in sentences of
less than 6 months. Visa fraud cases. e\ren when successfully .prosecuted against Asian organiz~)d crim0 memb.;,rs, seldom result in
significant pena.ltir~s. Congress should enact legislation similar to
the D'Amato amendrnent, adoptod by the Senate as an amendment
to 8. l?Al, which would adjust sentencing guidelines substanLinlly
upward for vioiations of 8 O.S.C. l324(a) (alien smuggling) if certain factors t,xist, indud. iny. the. smu&tgling of five or more aliens or
of persons associated wiL11 organized crim(!, or if the aliens are
treated in an inhumane fashion.
2. The Immigration and Naturalization Service must become
n;on!. inv9}v.ed in ~he fight~a~ainst 4-~ian organized c.ri~e. INS_officulls testlTYJn7 beto:re the ouncomm1ttee on November o, 1991 mdJ
cr>ted that INS would be establishing AsiRn crime task forces to
specifically atta.ck the problem of Asian organized crime. Subse
q,uent w-ritten communications from INS indicate, however, that
tne 1NS no longer int.~nds to create such task forces. f'Jor has INS
made a sustained eommitment. to assigning its investigators t.o task
forces where stnh task forces exisL Aslan t)rga.niz(;d crime figu.res
who entil:r the United States freQuently obcai11 visas nnder false
pretenses or violat-e other immigratiori' laws and. ar!t potentially
subjed to prosecution and deportation. No sustained or coordinated
effort has yet been undertaken by INS to enforce current immigration laws aera:inst Asian organized crime leaders. This must change.
Congress should consider mandating creation of special INS task
forces to accomplish this task.
3. Obtaining adequate detention space is essential to fully enforce the }mmi~ation laws. Key ports of entry !~or alien smugglers
suc<h as .Ne'.v \ ork, Los Angeles, and San l<'rnncisco are frequently
over.vhelmed with illegal entrants who, because of t.he lack of d<:tention space, are released on parole, in many cases never to be
heard from again. But as one INB official testified, "Detention is
t.ruly a deterrent. 1t works." 00 Congress should therefore take steps
to provide additional detention facilities by re-allocatin~ <cx.isting
space to INS for the purpose of det~'l.ining undocumented aJiens.
':L Coq:ress should considet: amending: current.lmmigration, lav~:s
to grant INS summary exduswn aurlwnt'J for aliens who amve m

LOS ANGELES, March 31 (Reuters) - Nevada's Gaming Control Board said on Wednesday it was
analyzing the status of VIP room operations In Macau casinos and possible links to Chinese
criminals.
Reuters reported on Monday that an examination of Hong Kong court records, U.S. depositions of
a former Sands executive and Interviews with law enforcement and security officials in the United
States and Macau show a connection between Las Vegas Sands Corp and a Macau-based
businessman alleged to have ties to organized crime.

"At the conclusion of our analysis of the situation In its entirety, this agency will move appropriately
as governed by Nevada law and standards required of our Nevada licenses," Randall Sayre, a
member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said in an e-mailed statement.

Sayre said the situation at Sands, along with the general environment regarding VIP operations In
Macau, was known to the agency and would be addressed "at the point the investigative product is
ripe for consideration."

Sands operates three casinos In Macau as well as the Palazzo and Venetian resorts on the Las
Vegas Strip. Other casino companies with operations in both Nevada and Macau Include MGM
Mirage and Wynn Resorts Ltd.

SJ001431

Las Vegas Sands, which !s about to open a new $5.5 billion casino complex In Singapore, also
operates a casino In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

A spokesman for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said in a statement that "the review of
sultablilty by the Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement Is ongoing for all license holders, and
it will not confirm or deoy whether this is a matter In which It Is actively Investigating.' (Reporting

Transcript of the Audio Recording


of the Sentence in the above Case

COURT: See Wah-lun, Tang Ka-man, Wong Chi-man, Yeung Chun-kit and Chan Ho-leung,
in respect of each of you, I have considered everything urged on your behalf by your
counsel.And I have of course given separate consideration to each of you on the question of
sentence.
As far as you, See Wah-lun, is concerned, your offences under Counts 1, 2 and 4
are all related to the conspiracy to murder under Count 3. I will pass concunent
sentences on you on all four counts.
As far as you, the other four accused, are concerned, your offence under Count 1 is
related to the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent under Count 2.
I will pass concurrent sentences on each of you four on those two counts. And as
far as the role w~ch each of you four played, I will draw no distinction.
In respect of all five accused, I will of course take the most lenient view that can
reasonably be taken. The appropriate total sentence for each of the five accused
will be achieved by making the longest of the concurrent sentences against each
accused reflect all the appropriate elements of aggravation, including those which
come under another or other counts. That will achieve the appropriate total but no
more than the appropriate total since all the sentences will be concurrent.
The maximum penalty for the offence under Count 1 (of acting as a member of a
triad society) is 3 years' imprisonment on a first conviction and 7 years'
imprisonment on a second or subsequent conviction. The maximum penalty for the
offence under Count 2 (ofconspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent),
for the offence under Count 3 (of conspiracy to murder) and for the offence under

Footnote 2
Count 4 (of soliciting to murder) are the same. It is life imprisonment.
As to the counts against all five accused, namely Counts 1 and 2, the position is
this. The evidence clearly indicates that the way in which the 1st accused acted as
a triad member is more serious than the way in which the other four accused so
acted; and his role in the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent is
more serious than theirs. As against all five accused, it has to be said that the
grievous bodily harm which they conspired to cause with intent was to be carried
out pursuant to a carefully planned attack.
There are cases which show that the sentence for causing grievous bodily harm
with intent commonly range from 3 years' imprisonment to 12 years'
imprisonment although everything will ultimately depend on the particular
circumstances. There are also cases which show that conspirators are not
infrequently punished in the same way as if they had completed the offence which
they conspired to commit. Again, it all depends ultimately on the particular
circumstances.
In respect of each of these five accused, I bear in mind of course that, behind the
scene, there is a person or are persons even more blameworthy than any of them.
Turning to the 1st accused alone, the murder which he conspired to commit and
which he solicited others to commit was likewise to be carried out to a carefully
planned attack. The use of stun guns and very deadly knives was part of the plan.
As far as mitigation is concerned, the only real mitigation available is the
mitigation available to the 3rd accused in the form of his previous good character.
The other accused's criminal record will of course not be held against them when
they are sentenced. I have serious doubts as to whether a previous good character
is effective mitigation in a case like this one. But I will eiT on the side of leniency
if I err at all, and give the 3rd accused some discount, even though it cannot be
much of a discount, for his previous good character.
When it comes to the role each of them played, I will draw no distinction between
the 2nd to 5th accused.

A court should always be as lenient as possible, but the seriousness of a case


cannot be ignored. The seriousness of this case speaks for itself once the basic

facts are noted. Each of these conspiracies involved a plan to abduct a man in the
street and take him as a captive to a prepared location. In the first conspiracy, the
plan was to break his arms and legs at that location. In the second conspiracy, the
plan went even further. It was to kill him at that location.

All things considered, I will sentence as follows.


1st accused, on Count 1, I sentence you to

2~

years' imprisonment. On Count 2, I

sentence you to 11 years' imprisonment. On Count 3, I sentence you to 14 years'


imprisonment. On Count 4, I sentence you to 12 years' imprisonment. All the
sentences will be concunent. So you will go to prison for 14 years.
2nd accused, on Count 1, I sentence you to 1~ years' imprisonment. On Count 2, I
sentence you to 9 years' imprisonment. Those sentences will be concurrent. So
you will go to prison for 9 years.
3rd accused, on Count 1, I adopt a starting point of 1Y2 years. On Count 2, I adopt
a starting point of 9 years. For your previous good character, I will give you such
discount as to sentence you to 1 year's imprisonment on Count I and to 8Y2 years'
imprisonment on Count 2. Those sentences will be concurrent. So you will go to

prison for

8~

years,

4th accused, I sentence you to 1Y:z years' imprisonment on Count 1 and a


concurrent term of 9 years' imprisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for
9 years.

5th accused, I sentence you to 1Y2 years' imprisonment on Count l and a


concurrent term of 9 years' imprisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for
9 years.

Transcript of the Audio Recording


of the Sentence in the above Case

COURT: See Wah-lun, Tang Ka-man, Wong Chi-man, Yeung Chun-kit and Chan Ho-leung,
in respect of each of you, I have considered everything urged on your behalf by your
counsel.And I have of course given separate consideration to each of you on the question of
sentence.
As far as you, See Wah-lun, is concerned, your offences under Counts I, 2 and 4
are all related to the conspiracy to murder under Count 3. I will pass concurrent
sentences on you on all four counts.
As far as you, the other four accused, are concerned, your offence under Count 1 is
related to the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent under Count 2.
I will pass concurrent sentences on each of you four on those two counts. And as
far as the role which each of you four played, I will draw no distinction.
In respect of all five accused, I will of course take the most lenient view that can
reasonably be taken. The appropriate total sentence for each of the five accused
will be achieved by making the longest of the concurrent sentences against each
accused reflect all the appropriate elements of aggravation, including those which
come under another or other counts. That will achieve the appropriate total but no
more than the appropriate total since all the sentences will be concurrent.
The maximum penalty for the offence under Count 1 (of acting as a member of a
triad society) is 3 years' imprisonment on a first conviction and 7 years'
imprisonment on a second or subsequent conviction. The maximum penalty for the
offence under Count 2 (ofconspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent),
for the offence under Count 3 (of conspiracy to murder) and for the offence under

footnote 11
Count 4 (of soliciting to murder) are the same. It is life imprisonment
As to the counts against all five accused, namely Counts 1 and 2, the position is
this. The evidence clearly indicates that the way in which the 1st accused acted as
a triad member is more serious than the way in which the other four accused so
acted; and his role in the conspiracy to cause grievous bodily hann with intent is
more serious than theirs. As against all five accused, it has to be said that the
grievous bodily harm which they conspired to cause with intent was to be carried
out pursuant to a carefully planned attack.
There are cases which show that the sentence for causing grievous bodily harm
with intent commonly range from 3 years' imprisonment to 12 years'
imprisonment although everything will ultimately depend on the particular
circumstances. There are also cases which show that conspirators are not
infrequently punished in the same way as if they had completed the offence which
they conspired to commit. Again, it all depends ultimately on the particular
circumstances.
In respect of each of these five accused, I bear in mind of course that, behind the
scene, there is a person or are persons even more blameworthy than any of them.
Turning to the 1st accused alone, the murder which he conspired to commit and
which he solicited others to commit was likewise to be carried out to a carefully
planned attack. The use of stun guns and very deadly knives was part of the plan.
As far as mitigation is concerned, the only real mitigation available is the
mitigation available to the 3rd accused in the form of his previous good character.
The other accused's criminal record will of course not be held against them when
they are sentenced. I have serious doubts as to whether a previous good character
is effective mitigation in a case like this one. But I will err on the side of leniency
if I err at all, and give the 3rd accused some discount, even though it cannot be
much of a discount, for his previous good character.
When it comes to the role each of them played, I will draw no distinction between
the 2nd to 5th accused.
A court should always be as lenient as possible, but the seriousness of a case
cannot be ignored. The seriousness of this case speaks for itself once the basic

facts are noted. Each of these conspiracies involved a plan to abduct a man in the
street and take him as a captive to a prepared location. In the first conspiracy, the
plan was to break his arms and legs at that location. In the second conspiracy, the
plan went even further. It was to kill him at that location.
All things considered, I will sentence as follows.
1st accused, on Count 1, I sentence you to 2Y2 years' imprisonment. On Count 2, I
sentence you to 11 years' imprisonment. On Count 3, I sentence you to 14 years'
imprisonment. On Count 4, I sentence you to 12 years' imprisonment. All the
sentences will be concurrent. So you will go to prison for 14 years.
2nd accused, on Count 1, I sentence you to 1Y2 years' imprisonment. On Count 2, I
sentence you to 9 years' imprisonment. Those sentences will be concurrent. So
you will go to prison for 9 years.
3rd accused, on Count 1, I adopt a starting point of 1Yz years. On Count 2, I adopt
a starting point of 9 years. For your previous good character, I will give you such
discount as to sentence you to 1 year's imprisonment on Count 1 and to 8Yz years'
imprisonment on Count 2. Those sentences will be concurrent. So you will go to
prison for 8Y2 years.
4th accused, I sentence you to 1Yz years' imprisonment on Count 1 and a
concurrent term of 9 years' imprisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for
9 years.
5th accused, I sentence you to 1Y2 years' imprisonment on Count 1 and a
concurrent term of 9 years' imprisonment on Count 2. So you will go to prison for
9 years.

Five Wo Hop To triad members were jailed yesterday for 6-1/2 to 14 years for taking part in a plan
to murder a casino dealer in May last year on the orders of a senior gangster.

The dealer was targeted after the "Yuen Long God of Gambling", Siu Yun-ping, won hundreds of
millions of dollars in Macau casinos, the Court of First Instance had heard.
The five men, who pleaded not guilty, were convicted by a jury last Friday,

See Wah-lun, 30, Tang Ka-man, 31, Wong Chi-man, 26, Yeung Chun-kit, 22, and Chan Ho-leung,
35, were convicted of acting as triad members and conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm. See
was also convicted of conspiring to murder and soliciting nine people - Including the other four
convicted - to commit murder. He was jailed for 14 years. Tang, Yeung and Chan were jailed for
nine years and Wong for 8-1/2 years.

The court had heard that triad boss Cheung Chi-tai, also known as "Tsang Pau", ordered his
followers in April last year to abduct dealer Wong Kam-ming and break his arms and legs. But
Cheung changed his mind in early May, and ordered wong killed.

Information from triad member Lau Ming-yee had led to the arrest of more than 10 men in a Yuen
Long village house on May 15. Police found a range of weapons inside.

At the trial, Wong testified that Slu had won an estimated HK$500 million to HK$600 million playing
baccarat between August 2007 and January last year in Macau casinos, including the Venetian, the
Usboa and the Sands Macao.
Wong said he had made more than HK$10 million in tips from Siu,

Slu testified that he suspected the plot was orchestrated by someone who was angry that he had
won so much money and suspected him of cheating.

PROPOSED OPEN OFFER


The Company proposes to raise approximately HK$143.98 million, before
expenses, by issuing 719,881,500 Offer Shares at a price of HK$0.2 per Offer
Share by way of Open Offer, on the basis of one Offer Share for every two
Consolidated Shares held on the Record Date and payable in full on acceptance.
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for

The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further

DIRECTORS' VIEWS

As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be


disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasions to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promoter in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:

(1)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and does not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001537

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00361

footnote 22
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
commission/service fee for the Rolling Turnover brought by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hou Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.

(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon Completion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and Highest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 December
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unable to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business" below with the benefits of the Acquisition, including the Group's perpetual
rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the source of the Profit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders
as a whole.
The consideration is determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (1) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001538
Plaintiff Ex. I 102 00362

Footnote 22
As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for the Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The following are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(I)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou Wan will not be lured away
by other junket operators.

(2)

The Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of Hou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands Macao under the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. In
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

(4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Represcntati ve
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Representative
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hou Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

(5)

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan and/
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed.

(6)

The Junket Representative Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit Agreements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

GUARANTEED PROFIT
Hou Wan has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest Increase that
the annual Profit during the period of one year commencing from the date of
Completion ("First Relevant Period") shall not be less than HK$120,000,000 ("First
Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest
Increase for the First Relevant Period shall be less than HK$120,000,000, Hou Wan
undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum calculated in accordance with the
following formula (the "First Adjustment") within 60 days after the First Relevant
Period (provided that the First Adjustment shall not be more than HK$ 120,000,000):

and if the resulting First Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Highest Increase

In addition, Hou Wan has also irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest
Increase that the Profit during the period of one year commencing from the first
day after the First Relevant Period ("Second Relevant Period") shall not be less
than HK$132,000,000 ("Second Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received
and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second Relevant Period shall be Jess

calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Second Adjustment")
within 60 days after the Second Relevant Period (provided that the Second
Adjustment shall not be more than HK$132,000,000):

and if the resulting Second Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Hou Wan shall
not be required to pay any adjustment for the Second Relevant Period. The
Guaranteed Profit is still valid in the event that Hou Wan failed to obtain a junket
licence from the Macau Government.
The Guaranteed Profit is determined under arm's length negotiation between relevant
parties by reference to the performance of Hou Wan (the Company was given to
understand by Hou Wan that the Rolling Turnover per annum in average was
approximately HK$30 billion) and, as a reference to the market condition of the
gaming industry, research reports conducted by leading investment banks that made
a revenue estimate of approximately HK$300,000,000 a month to be derived from
one gaming table of Baccarat (being the most accessible game in a VIP Club in
Macau).
Mr. Guo has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Hou Wan under the First Profit
Agreement.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Information of Credible
Credible was incorporated on 13 November 2006 and is an investment holding
company.
The main asset of Credible is its 20% equity interest in Base Move. According to
the unaudited management accounts of Credible, the total assets of Credible as at
31 December 2006 is HK$780 and Credible has no liability as at 31 December
2006. There is no profit or loss recorded in the unaudited management accounts of
Credible for the period commencing on 13 November 2006 (the date of its
incorporation) to 31 December 2006.

Information of Base Move


To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move is an investment holding company incorporated in
the British Virgin Islands on 22 September 2006, and owned as to 20% by Credible
and 80% by Certain Champ (wholly owned by Mr. Guo). To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, other than the Second Profit Agreement, Base Move does not have any
assets or liabilities nor does it has any profit or loss recorded as at the date of this
announcement. Mr. Guo has over 15-year experiences in the gaming industry (both
in Asia and North America). He has been working as a junket in various VIP Clubs
in Macau (including the Chengdu VIP Club at Sands Macao), responsible for
introducing customers to the VIP Club. Mr. Guo is the founder of Hou Wan and
has through Hou Wan acted as a junket representative for Sands Macao since July
2005.
Hou Wan is a company incorporated in Macau on 9 November 2004 and is whollyowned by Mr. Guo.
So far as the Directors are aware, Hou Wan with its first junket license granted on
17 August 2005 is the only appointed junket representative at Chengdu VIP Club.
The Profit Agreements do not provide for the profit of other VIP Clubs to be
included as part of the Profit and there is currently no intention for Hou Wan to be
a junket representative of other VIP Clubs. Acting as a junket representative at
Sands Macao is the only track record that Hou Wan has in respect of its operation
as a junket representative. Other than being a junket representative, Hou Wan does
not engage in any other business. As at the date of this announcement, the Company
has been informed that Hou Wan has approximately 500 junket agents. The licence
granted to Hou Wan for acting as a junket operator is valid for one year and is
renewable. Hou Wan's re-newed licence has been granted on 15 December 2006
and is valid until 31 December 2007. In relation to the requirements for obtaining a
junket licence from the Macau Government, the licence can only be granted when
the applicant is found to comply with the probity requirements. If the applicant is a
corporate gaming operator, the probity requirements also apply to its shareholder
with 5% or more of the share capital and its key employees. The applicant, when
submitting an application request, has to produce, among other things, a questionnaire
to ascertain the probity of the applicant. To consider whether the applicant fulfill
the probity requirement, the relevant authorities of the Macau Government will
consider the information provided by the applicant in the questionnaire, including

13

SJ001542

PlaintiffEx. 1102 00366

Footnote 22
its corporate, business and financial information, information regarding its key
employees and shareholders, judicial litigation and governmental investigation,
bankrnptcy and insolvency, its previous experience in junket business. The relevant
authorities will also consider the information provided by the corporate applicant's
shareholder with 5% or more of the share capital and key employees, including
their personal and family background, their financial information and civil
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
representative license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customers. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.
REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou Wan, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.

In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LAWS OF HONG KONG AND THE LISTING
RULES
As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is licensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in Macau.

footnote 22
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (i) fail to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or may cancel the listing of, the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bet/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As their activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
laws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in formulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company will from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION


As the relevant ratios as referred to in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules are 100% or
more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the
Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval by the
Shareholders at the EGM. No Shareholder has an interest in the Acquisition and is
required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, further information in respect of the
Acquisition, together with the notice of the EGM will be despatched to the
Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The circular will contain
additional disclosures as required under the Stock Exchange Gambling Guidelines.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.

Effects of the Share Consolidation


The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged at l 0,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
lot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.
The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenses to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (including the respective rights of the Shareholders).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation


The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

Footnote 22
Application for listing
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the
granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in
issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated
Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible
securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect
from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock
Exchange or, under contingent situation, such other date as determined by HKSCC.
Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading
day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All
activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS
Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Arrangement for odd lot trading


In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares
arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities
to match the purchase and sale of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant
market price per Consolidated Share for the period from 29 March 2007 to 9 May
2007 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares who
wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the
Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their
brokers, contact Ms. Rosita Kiu (Tel.: 2298-6215 and Fax: 2295-0682) of Kingston
Securities during this period. Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should
note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated
Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot
facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares


The detailed trading arrangement for the Share Consolidation will be set out in the
circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will
be made when the expected timetable is available.

Free exchange of share certificates


Shareholders may exchange their share certificates for the Existing Shares for new
share certificates for the Consolidated Shares on or after 29 March 2007. This may
be done free of charge by delivering the share certificates for the Existing Shares
to the office of the Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited
at Rooms 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong
Kong, during the period from 29 March 2007 to 16 May 2007 (both dates inclusive).
After the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, share certificates
for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange for share certificates for the
Consolidated Shares only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount
as may be stipulated by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each new share
certificate to be issued or each old share certificate submitted, whichever number
of share certificates is higher, to the Registrar for exchange of share certificates.
It is expected that new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available

for collection on or after the tenth Business Day from the date of submission of the
certificates for the Existing Shares to the Registrar. Unless otherwise instructed,
new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in board lots of
10,000 Consolidated Shares.

Offer is under-subscribed.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders


If, at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder's registered address
and correspondence address on the register of members of the Company is in a
place outside Hong Kong, that Shareholder may not be eligible to take part in the
Open Offer as the Prospectus Documents are not expected to be registered and/or
filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong
Kong. The Board will make enquiries to its lawyers as to whether the issue of Offer
Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities
legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant
regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule I 3.36(2)(a) of the Listing
Rules. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be
necessary or expedient not to offer Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the
Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Accordingly, the
Open Offer will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The results of the
enquiries and the basis of exclusion of Overseas Shareholders will be disclosed in
the Prospectus.

Footnote 22
WARNING OF THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company, The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled
should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE I"AST TWELVE


MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name becoming
~l:ff ~~ 0 P'J " as its new Chinese
effective, the Company will adopt "i'HJ r.
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
followings:

(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001554
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00378

Footnote 22
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the register
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and will
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.
A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the
effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.

footnote 24
The Company understands that the arrangement of the First Profit Agreement and
the Second Profit Agreement is for the purpose of ringfencing and ensuring there is
no tax burden arising from the Profit for Base Move upon completion of the

consideration of the Acquisition) and shall be satisfied in cash.
The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further
announcement will be made by the Company upon exercise of the Call Option.

DIRECTORS' VIEWS
As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be
disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasions to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promoter in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:

(1)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and does not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001569
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00393

footnote 24
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
commission/service fee for the Rolling Turnover brought by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hou Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.
(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon Completion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by .Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and Highest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 December
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unable to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business" below with the benefits of the Acquisition, including the Group's perpetual
.rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the source of the Profit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders
as a whole.
The consideration is determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (l) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001570

PlaintiffEx. 1102 00394

Footnote 24
As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for the Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The foJlowing are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(1)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou Wan will not be lured away
by other junket operators.

(2)

The Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of Hou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands Macao tmder the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. In
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

(4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Representative
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Representative
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the .Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the .Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hou Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

(5)

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan and/
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed.

(6)

The Junket Representative Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit Agreements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

10

SJ001571

PlaintiffEx. I 102 00395

footnote 24
(8)

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

(9)

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

(10)

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

(11)

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

GUARANTEED PROFIT
Hou Wan has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest Increase that
the annual Profit during the period of one year commencing from the date of
Completion ("First Relevant Period") shall not be Jess than HK$120,000,000 ("First
Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest
Increase for the First Relevant Period shall be less than HK$120,000,000, Hou Wan
undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum calculated in accordance with the
following formula (the "First Adjustment") within 60 days after the First Relevant
Period (provided that the First Adjustment shall not be more than HK$ 120,000,000):
First Adjustment= (Al- Bl) x 5
where:
Al
Bl

HK$120,000,000
the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest Increase during the
First Relevant Period

and if the resulting First Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Highest Increase
shall not be required to pay any adjustment for the First Relevant Period.
In addition, Hou Wan has also irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest
Increase that the Profit during the period of one year commencing from the first
day after the First Relevant Period ("Second Relevant Period") shall not be less
than HK$132,000,000 ("Second Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received
and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second Relevant Period shall be less
than HK$132,000,000, Hou Wan undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum
calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Second Adjustment")
within 60 days after the Second Relevant Period (provided that the Second
Adjustment shall not be more than HK$132,000,000):
Second Adjustment == (A2 - B2) x 4
where:
A2
B2

::::

HK$132,000,000
the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second
Relevant Period

and if the resulting Second Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Hou Wan shall
not be required to pay any adjustment for the Second Relevant Period. The
Guaranteed Profit is still valid in the event that Hou Wan failed to obtain a junket
licence from the Macau Government.
The Guaranteed Profit is determined under arm's length negotiation between relevant
parties by reference to the performance of Hou Wan (the Company was given to
understand by Hou Wan that the Rolling Turnover per annum in average was
approximately HK$30 billion) and, as a reference to the market condition of the
gaming industry, research reports conducted by leading investment banks that made
a revenue estimate of approximately HK$300,000,000 a month to be derived from
one gaming table of Baccarat (being the most accessible game in a VIP Club in
Macau).
Mr. Guo has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Hon Wan under the First Profit
Agreement.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Information of Credible
Credible was incorporated on 13 November 2006 and is an investment holding
company.
The main asset of Credible is its 20% equity interest in Base Move. According to
the unaudited management accounts of Credible, the total assets of Credible as at
31 December 2006 is HK$780 and Credible has no liability as at 31 December
2006. There is no profit or loss recorded in the unaudited management accounts of
Credible for the period commencing on 13 November 2006 (the date of its
incorporation) to 31 December 2006.
Information of Base Move
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move is an investment holding company incorporated in
the British Virgin Islands on 22 September 2006, and owned as to 20% by Credible
and 80% by Certain Champ (wholly owned by Mr. Guo). To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, other than the Second Profit Agreement, Base Move does not have any
assets or liabilities nor does it has any profit or loss recorded as at the date of this
announcement. Mr. Guo has over 15-year experiences in the gaming industry (both
in Asia and North America). He has been working as a junket in various VIP Clubs
in Macau (including the Chengdu VIP Club at Sands Macao), responsible for
introducing customers to the VIP Club. Mr. Guo is the founder of Hou Wan and
has through Hou Wan acted as a junket representative for Sands Macao since July
2005.
Hou Wan is a company incorporated in Macau on 9 November 2004 and is whollyowned by Mr. Guo.
So far as the Directors are aware, Hou Wan with its first junket license granted on
17 August 2005 is the only appointed junket representative at Chengdu VIP Club.
The Profit Agreements do not provide for the profit of other VIP Clubs to be
included as part of the Profit and there is currently no intention for Hou Wan to be
a junket representative of other VIP Clubs. Acting as a junket representative at
Sands Macao is the only track record that Hou Wan has in respect of its operation
as a junket representative. Other than being a junket representative, Hou Wan does
not engage in any other business. As at the date of this announcement, the Company
has been informed that Hou Wan has approximately 500 junket agents. The licence
granted to Hou Wan for acting as a junket operator is valid for one year and is
renewable. Hou Wan's re-newed licence has been granted on 15 December 2006
and is valid until 31 December 2007. In relation to the requirements for obtaining a
junket licence from the Macau Government, the licence can only be granted when
the applicant is found to comply with the probity requirements. If the applicant is a
corporate gaming operator, the probity requirements also apply to its shareholder
with 5% or more of the share capital and its key employees. The applicant, when
submitting an application request, has to produce, among other things, a questionnaire
to ascertain the probity of the applicant. To consider whether the applicant fulfill
the probity requirement, the relevant authorities of the Macau Government will
consider the information provided by the applicant in the questionnaire, including

13

SJ001574
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00398

footnote 24
its corporate, business and financial information, information regarding its key
employees and shareholders, judicial litigation and governmental investigation,
bankruptcy and insolvency, its previous experience in junket business. The relevant
authorities will also consider the information provided by the corporate applicant's
shareholder with 5% or more of the share capital and key employees, including
their personal and family background, their financial information and civil
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
representative license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customers. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou \Van, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.

In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement arc fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LAWS OF HONG KONG AND THE LISTING


RULES
As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, information and belief having made all ieasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is licensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in Macau.

footnote 24
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (i) fail to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or may cancel the listing of, the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bel/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As their activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
Jaws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in formulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company will from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION


As the relevant ratios as referred to in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules are 100% or
more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the
Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval by the
Shareholders at the EGM. No Shareholder has an interest in the Acquisition and is
required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, further information in respect of the
Acquisition, together with the notice of the EGM will be despatched to the
Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The circular will contain
additional disclosures as required under the Stock Exchange Gambling Guidelines.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.

Effects of the Share Consolidation


The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged at 10,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
lot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.
The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenses to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (including the respective rights of the Shareholders).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation


The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation wil1 increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

Application for listing
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the
granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in
issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated
Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible
securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect
from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock
Exchange or, under contingent situation, such other date as determined by HKSCC.
Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading
day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All
activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS
Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
Arrangement for odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares
arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities
to match the purchase and sale of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant
market price per Consolidated Share for the period from 29 March 2007 to 9 May
2007 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares who
wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the
Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their
brokers, contact Ms. Rosita Kiu (Tel.: 2298-6215 and Fax:: 2295-0682) of Kingston
Securities during this period. Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should
note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated
Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot
facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares
The detailed trading arrangement for the Share Consolidation will be set out in the
circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will
be made when the expected timetable is available.
Free exchange of share certificates
Shareholders may exchange their share certificates for the Existing Shares for new
share certificates for the Consolidated Shares on or after 29 March 2007. This may
be done free of charge by delivering the share certificates for the Existing Shares
to the office of the Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited
at Rooms 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong
Kong, during the period from 29 March 2007 to 16 May 2007 (both dates inclusive).
After the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, share certificates
for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange for share certificates for the
Consolidated Shares only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount
as may be stipulated by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each new share
certificate to be issued or each old share certificate submitted, whichever number
of share certificates is higher, to the Registrar for exchange of share certificates.
It is expected that new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available
for collection on or after the tenth Business Day from the date of submission of the
certificates for the Existing Shares to the Registrar. Unless otherwise instructed,
new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in board lots of
10,000 Consolidated Shares.

Footnote 24
WARNING OF THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

reasonable enquiries, the Underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OF'FER AND USE OF PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company. The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled
should note that their shareholdings in the Company win be diluted.
FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE LAST TWELVE
MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.
(4)

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name becoming
effective, the Company will adopt "rtf~: I ~ l!m 1=1' ~~ 0- 'RJ " as its new Chinese
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
followings:
(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001586
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 _0041 0

footnote 24
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the register
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and will
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.
A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the
effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE
All times stated in this announcement refer to Hong Kong times. The expected
timetable for the Share Consolidation and the Open Offer set out below is indicative
only and it has been prepared on the assumption that the Acquisition and the Share
Consolidation will be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM. The expected
timetable is subject to change, and any such change will be announced by the
Company as and when appropriate.

acquisition on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

general meeting under Rule 14.49 of the Listing Rules.
An EGM will be convened to consider and, if thought fit, approve (i) the Acquisition

made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at
the EGM.

PROPOSED OPEN OFFER


The Company proposes to raise approximately HK$143.98 million, before
expenses, by issuing 719,881,500 Offer Shares at a price of HK$0.2 per Offer
Share by way of Open Offer, on the basis of one Offer Share for every two
Consolidated Shares held on the Record Date and payable in full on acceptance.
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for
the Open Offer, all transfers of Shares must be lodged for registration with the
Registrar by 4:00 p.m. on 3 April 2007 and the Shareholders are not Excluded
Shareholders. The register of members of the Company will be closed from 4
April 2007 to 12 April 2007, both dates inclusive, to determine the eligibility of
the Shareholders to the Open Offer.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have conditionally
agreed to underwrite, on a fully underwritten basis, all the Offer Shares not
being taken up.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the
Acquisition.

Warning of the risk of dealing in the Shares


Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, the Open
Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore
exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares; and if they are in any
doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take
place while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject
remain unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up
to the date on which aU conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are
fulfilled (which is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the
risk that the Open Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed.
Any Shareholder or other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares,
who is in any doubt about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult
his/her/its own professional adviser.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that
the Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name
becoming effective, the Company will adopt "i"'fi .I ~ !1m t~ ~[i! 0 "Pl " as its
new Chinese name.

Footnote 25
The Company understands that the arrangement of the First Profit Agreement and
the Second Profit Agreement is for the purpose of ringfencing and ensuring there is
no tax burden arising from the Profit for Base Move upon completion of the

made all reasonable enquiries (including obtaining legal advice from the legal advisor

THE CALL OPTION


Certain Champ has, pursuant to a call option agreement dated 16 January 2007,
granted to the Company the Call Option. The Call Option is, subject to Completion,
exercisable by the Company within 24 months from Completion. The aggregate
price for the exercise of the Call Option is HK$350,000,000 (with reference to the
consideration of the Acquisition) and shall be satisfied in cash.
The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further
announcement will be made by the Company upon exercise of the Call Option.

DIRECTORS' VIEWS
As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be
disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasions to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promoter in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:

(1)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and does not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001601
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00425

footnote 25
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
commission/service fee for the Rolling Turnover brouglit by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hou Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.

(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon Completion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and Highest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 December
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unable to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business" below with the benefits of the Acquisition, including the Group's perpetual
rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the soii"rce of the-Pn;fit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders
as a whole.
The consideration is determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (1) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001602
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00426

footnote 25
As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for the Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The following are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(1)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou Wan will not be lured a way
by other junket operators.

(2)

The Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of Hou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands Macao under the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. In
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

( 4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Representative
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Representative
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hou Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

(5)

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan and/
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed.

(6)

The Junket Representative Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit Agreements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

10

SJ001603
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00427

footnote 25
(8)

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

(9)

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

(10)

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

(11)

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

Hou Wan has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest Increase that
the annual Profit during the period of one year commencing from the date of
Completion ("First Relevant Period") shall not be less than HK$120,000,000 ("First
Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received and/or recci vable by Highest
Increase for the First Relevant Period shall be less than HK$120,000,000, Hou Wan
undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum calculated in accordance with the
following formula (the "First Adjustment") within 60 days after the First Relevant
Period (provided that the First Adjustment shall not be more than HK$ 120,000,000):

and if the resulting First Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Highest Increase
shall not be required to pay any adjustment for the First Relevant Period.
In addition, Hou Wan has also irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest
Increase that the Profit during the period of one year commencing from the first
day after the First Relevant Period ("Second Relevant Period") shall not be less
than HK$132,000,000 ("Second Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received
and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second Relevant Period shall be less
than HK$1.32,000,000, Hou Wan undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum
calculated in accordance with the follmving formula (the ''Second Adjustment")
within 60 days after the Second Relevant Period (provided that the Second
Adjustment shall nol be more than HK$132,000,000):

Second Adjustment

= (A2

where:

B2

HK$132,000,000

Relevant Period

and if the resulting Second Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Hou Wan shall
not be required to pay any adjustment for the Second Relevant Period. The
Guaranteed Profit is still valid in the event that Hou Wan failed to obtain a junket
licence from the Macau Government.
The Guaranteed Profit is determined under ann's length negotiation between relevant
parties by reference to the performance of Hou Wan (the Company was given to
understand by Hou Wan that the Rolling Turnover per annum in average was
approximately HK$30 billion) and, as a reference to the market condition of the
gaming industry, research reports conducted by leading investment banks that made
a revenue estimate of approximately HK$300,000,000 a month to be derived from
one gaming table of Baccarat (being the most accessible game in a VIP Club in
Macau).

Iv1r. Guo has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Hou Wan under the First Profit
Agreement.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Information of Credible
Credible was incorporated on 13 November 2006 and is an investment holding
company.
The main asset of Credible is its 20% equity interest in Base Move. According to
the unaudited management accounts of Credible, the total assets of Credible as at
31 December 2006 is HK$780 and Credible has no liability as at 31 December
2006. There is no profit or loss recorded in the unaudited management accounts of
Credible for the period commencing on 13 November 2006 (the date of its
incorporation) to 31 December 2006.

Information of Base Move


To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move is an investment holding company incorporated in
the British Virgin Islands on 22 September 2006, and owned as to 20% by Credible
and 80% by Certain Champ (wholly owned by Mr. Guo). To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, other than the Second Profit Agreement, Base Move does not have any
assets or liabilities nor does it has any profit or loss recorded as at the date of this
announcement. Mr. Guo has over 15-year experiences in the gaming industry (both
in Asia and North America). He has been working as a junket in various VIP Clubs
in Macau (including the Chengdu VIP Club at Sands Macao), responsible for
introducing customers to the VIP Club. Mr. Guo is the founder of Hou Wan and
has through Hou Wan acted as a junket representative for Sands Macao since July
2005.
Hou Wan is a company incorporated in Macau on 9 November 2004 and is whollyowned by Mr. Guo.
So far as the Directors are aware, Hou Wan with its first junket license granted on
17 August 2005 is the only appointed junket representative at Chengdu VIP Club.
The Profit Agreements do not provide for the profit of other VIP Clubs to be
included as part of the Profit and there is currently no intention for Hou Wan to be
a junket representative of other VIP Clubs. Acting as a junket representative at
Sands Macao is the only track record that Hou Wan has in respect of its operation
as a junket representative. Other than being a junket representative, Hou Wan does
not engage in any other business. As at the date of this announcement, the Company
has been informed that Hou Wan has approximately 500 junket agents. The licence
granted to Hou Wan for acting as a junket operator is valid for one year and is
renewable. Hou Wan's re-newed licence has been granted on 15 December 2006
and is valid until 31 December 2007. In relation to the requirements for obtaining a
junket licence from the Macau Government, the licence can only be granted when
the applicant is found to comply with the probity requirements. If the applicant is a
corporate gaming operator, the probity requirements also apply to its shareholder
with 5% or more of the share capital and its key employees. The applicant, when
submitting an application request, has to produce, among other things, a questionnaire
to ascertain the probity of the applicant. To consider whether the applicant fulfill
the probity requirement, the relevant authorities of the Macau Government will
consider the information provided by the applicant in the questionnaire, including

13

SJ001606
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00430

Footnote 25
its corporate, business and financial information, information regarding its key
employees and shareholders, judicial litigation and governmental investigation,
bankruptcy and insolvency, its previous experience in junket business. The relevant
authorities will also consider the information provided by the corporate applicant's
shareholder with 5% or more of the share capital and key employees, including
their personal and family background, their financial information and ci vii
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
reprcsentati ve license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customers. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION


The principal activities of the Group arc manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou Wan, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.

In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement arc fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LAWS 01<' HONG KONG AND


RULES

THf~

LISTING

As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is licensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in Macau.

footnote 25
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (i) fall to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or may cancel the listing of, the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bet/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As their activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
laws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority i.n formulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company wi.ll from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION


As the relevant ratios as referred to in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules are 100% or
more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the
Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval by the
Shareholders at the EGM, No Shareholder has an interest in the Acquisition and is
required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, further information in respect of the
Acquisition, together with the notice of the EGM will be despatched to the
Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The circular wiLl contain
additional disclosures as required under the Stock Exchange Gambling Guidelines.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.

Effects of the Share Consolidation


The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not he issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged at 10,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
lot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.
The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenses to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (including the respective rights of the Shareholders).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation


The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will

Qualifying Shareholders
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company
will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and (ii) the
Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus, for information only, to the Excluded
Shareholders. To qualify for the Open Offer, the Shareholders must at the close of
business on the Record Date:
(i)

be registered on the register of members of the Company; and

(ii)

not being Excluded Shareholders.

In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date, the


Shareholders must lodge any transfer of the Shares (with the relevant share
certificates) for registration with the Registrar by 4:00p.m. on 3 April 2007. The
address of the Registrar is:

Rooms 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre
183 Queen's Road East
Hong Kong
The invitation to subscribe for the Offer Shares to be made to the Qualifying
Shareholders will not be transferable. There will not be any trading in nil-paid
entitlements on the Stock Exchange and the Qualifying Shareholders will not be
entitled to subscribe for any Offer Shares in excess of their respective assured
entitlements. In the view that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given equal and
fair opportunities to participate in the Company's future development and thereby
entitling to subscribe for his/her respective Offer Shares without discrimination at
the same price at an attractive discount to the Share price as at the Latest Trading
Date in proportion to his/her existing shareholding of the Company, the Directors
are of the opinion that the Company will not attempt to serve additional effort and
extra administration work to consider the allocation basis to accommodate any
Offer Shares not validly applied for by the Shareholders in the event that the Open
Offer is under-subscribed.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders


If, at the close of business on the R.ecord Date, a Shareholder's registered address
and correspondence address on the register of members of the Company is in a
place outside Hong Kong, that Shareholder may not be eligible to take part in the
Open Offer as the Prospectus Documents are not expected to be registered and/or
filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong
Kong. The Board will make enquiries to its lawyers as to whether the issue of Offer
Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities
legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant
regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing
Rules. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be
necessary or expedient not to offer Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the
Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Accordingly, the
Open Offer will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The results of the
enquiries and the basis of exclusion of Overseas Shareholders will be disclosed in
the Prospectus.
The Company will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders
and (ii) the Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus, for information only, to

The Subscription Price for the Offer Shares is HK$0.2 per Offer Share, payable in

(i)

a discount of approximately 9.09% to the closing price of HK$0.22 per


Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation becoming effective)
as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;

(ii)

a premium of approximately 1.01% to the average closing prices of

as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Lasl Trading Date; and

(v)

a premium of approximately 19.76% over the audited net asset value per
Consoli dated Share of approximately HK$0.167 based on the audited
consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2006 as shown in
the annual report 2006 of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2006
and the number of the Consolidated Shares in issue immediately after the
Share Consolidation becoming effective but before the completion of the
Open Offer.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the
Company and the Underwriters after having taken into account, among other things,
(i) tbe recent price performance of the Shares and (ii) the potential investment
opportunity to the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the terms of the Open
Offer are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the
Shareholders as a whole.

WARNING Ol-', THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summarj' of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief and having made all
reasonable enquiries, the Underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company. The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled
should note that their sbareholdings in the Company will he diluted.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES Of!' THE COMPANY IN THE LAST TWELVE


MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE DATE O.F THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resource.s
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name becoming
effective, the Company will adopt "i'fiJ r ~ ll ;ff ~[)t i~ WJ " as its new Chinese
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
followings:
(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001618
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00442

Footnote 25
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the register
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and will
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.
A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the
effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE
All times stated in this announcement refer to Hong Kong times. The expected
timetable for the Share Consolidation and the Open Offer set out below is indicative

Consolidation will be approved by the Shareholders at the EGlvl. The expected

'Gambling king' took fallen tycoon aboard to bet


301 words
28 June 2009
South China Morning Post

English
(c) 2009 South China Morning Post Publishers Limited, Hong Kong. All rights reserved.

The casino ship Neptune is closely linked with Lin Chiu, the "gambling king of the high seas"
arrested last year over a corruption scandal involving the head of the Game electrical-appliance
store chain, Wong Kwong-yu. Lin Cheuk-fung, chairman of the ship's operator, the Neptune Group,
is the younger brother of Lin Chiu (also known as Lian Chao).

According to the influential mainland business magazine Caijing, Lin Chiu, a delegate to the
Guangdong's Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 2003 to 2007,
invited Wong and mainland officials to gamble aboard the Neptune and helped the tycoon launder
money.

Wong was arrested in November for stock manipulation. Lin Chiu was arrested a month later.
Caijing reported that he had tried to help Wong's wife, Du Juan , flee.

Wong's arrest brought down a number of heavyweights formerly In charge of law and order in
Guangdong: Chen Shaoji, formerly chairman of the Guangdong CPPCC, his former deputy Zheng
Shaodong -who rose to become assistant minister of public security - and his deputy Xiang
Huaizhu. Fallen Shenzhen mayor Xu Zongheng, now being investigated by the Communist Party's
disciplinary watchdog, is also implicated in Wong's case.

The newspaper Wen Wei Po has reported that Lin Chiu and Hong Kong triad boss Cheung Chi-tal
jointly Invested in the Neptune in 1996. Caijing has reported that Cheung was arrested for links
with Lin.

A crew member who has worked on the Neptune for two years said many of her colleagues had
seen Wong gambling. "My boss, Mr Lin [Lin Chiu], used to bring his friends, most of them mainland
officials or tycoons, on board for gambling. One of the most well-known figures was Wong."

Hong Kong
Officer lifts lid on workings of the underworld

In the shadows of Hong Kong's underworld, the relationship between police and triads- the violent
gangs that hold sway over wide swathes of the city and often do battle for each other's territory is not always what it seems.

According to an experienced anti-triad officer, the two sides shared a "special relationship" that
often saw senior triad members helping the police, and indirectly themselves.

Senior detective inspector Cheung Man-shing said the gangsters, for whom "loyalty and unity"
were all-important, usually maintained strict silence during interviews under caution, meaning
what they say can be used as evidence.

But off the record they can be much more forthcoming -especially with information that might
harm a rival and not themselves, said Cheung, a triad expert with the police criminal intelligence
bureau.

"When police officers interview triad members during an Investigation, they normally remain silent
under caution but are very willing to tell the whole story when they are interviewed not under
caution," he told the Court of First Instance yesterday.

Triad informants would tip off police officers about matters concerning other triad branches and
matters that did not concern themselves, he said, describing this as a "special kind of relationship"
between the pollee and triad members.

Cheung was giving evidence as an expert witness in the Court of First Instance trial of five alleged
Wo Hop To triad members, accused of involvement in a plot to murder casino dealer Wong
Kam-ming in May, last year, after a one of his clients won hundreds of millions of dollars in Macau
casinos.

footnote 30
Cheung told the court that the history of triad societies could be traced back to 1674 when an
organisation was founded in China with a mission to overthrow the Qing dynasty.

"In Hong Kong, triad societies only engage in illegal activities," he said. "The sole purpose is to
make money. [Triad people] do illegal things, and they do legal things through illegal means."

Giving a rare public insight Into the alleged activities of some of the city's most notorious gangs,
Cheung said Wo Hop To was one of the most influential, with members active in Western District,
Aberdeen, Wan Chai and Yuen Long. Its activities included loan sharking and gambling.

Another society, Wo Shing Wo, was active in Kowloon West with underground casinos, drug
trafficking, piracy, extortion and vice.

The 14K society, he said, was Involved in extortion, prostitution, piracy and illegal franchising of
taxi stops.

Sun Yee On, active in the Tslm Sha Tsui area, engaged in activities related to dangerous drugs,
extortion and piracy.

Cheung said there were 2,378 triad-related cases last year, with 648 involving woundings and
serious assaults, compared to 2,258 and 555 respectively in 2007.

Of the violent crimes, most arose from fights In public places and were related to conflicts between
different triad societies.

Under a code of "loyalty and unity", triad members usually obeyed without question any
instructions from higher levels of the society's hierarchy.

"Most of the time they simply follow instructions from their superiors without knowing much about
the background," Cheung told the court.

The experienced triad-fighter said the lowest tier comprised two categories: "ordinary members",
who had been through a formal ceremony, and "hanging the blue lantern" members, who had not

Basic members could be promoted to various kinds of office bearers, including "the red pole", also
known as 426, who traditionally took care of the operations of the society; "the white paper fan",
or 415, who was responsible for the administration and organising ceremonies; and the "grass
sandals", or 432, who communicated between different branches.

Five Wo Hop To triad members were jailed yesterday for 8-1/2 to 14 years for taking part In a plan
to murder a casino dealer in May last year on the orders of a senior gangster.

The dealer was targeted after the "Yuen Long God of Gambling", Siu Yun-ping, won hundreds of
millions of dollars in Macau casinos, the Court of First Instance had heard.

The f1ve men, who pleaded not guilty, were convicted by a jury last Friday.

See Wah-lun, 30, Tang Ka-man, 31, Wong Chi-man, 26, Yeung Chun-kit, 22, and Chan Ho-leung,
35, were convicted of acting as triad members and conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm. See
was also convicted of conspiring to murder and soliciting nine people - including the other four
convicted - to commit murder. He was jailed for 14 years. Tang, Yeung and Chan were jailed for
nine years and Wong for 8-1/2 years.

The court had heard that triad boss Cheung Chi-tai, also known as "Tsang Pau", ordered his
followers In April last year to abduct dealer Wong Kam-ming and break his arms and legs. But
Cheung changed his mind in early May, and ordered Wong killed.

Information from triad member Lau Ming-yee had led to the arrest of more than 10 men In a Yuen
Long village house on May 15. Police found a range of weapons inside.

At the trial, Wong testified that Siu had won an estimated HK$500 million to HK$600 million playing
baccarat between August 2007 and January last year in Macau casinos, including the Venetian, the
Lis boa and the Sands Macao.

Wong said he had made more than HK$10 million in tips from Siu.

won so much money and suspected him of cheating.

The casino dealer who earned about HK$50 million in tips and commissions from the HK$100
million Macau winnings of "Yuen Long God of Gambling" Siu Yun-ping, said Siu bet up to HK$1.5
million at a time.

The Court of First Instance was told that Siu gradually increased the size of bets he placed over the
years, and his wins and losses were in the tens of millions each time he gambled in Macau between
mid-2007 and February last year.

The dealer, Wong Kam-ming, nicknamed "Wong Ming Chai", was testifying yesterday at the trial of
five alleged Wo Hop To triad members in relation to an alleged plot to murder and/or abduct him
last year.

See Wah-lun, 30, Tang Ka-man, 31, Wong Chi-man, 26, Yeung Chun-kit, 22, and Chan Ho-leung,
35, have pleaded not guilty to charges including acting as triad members and conspiracy to cause
grievous bodily harm.

See, an alleged senior member of the group, is also charged with conspiring with a "Tsang Pau" to
commit murder, and soliciting nine people, including the four other defendants, to murder. The
court heard earlier that "Tsang Pau", also known as Cheung Chi-tai, was the person in charge of
the Chengdu gambling hall at the Sands Macao casino in Macau.

The prosecution said the offence took place after Siu had won more than HK$100 million in Macau
casinos.

It said Wong was the dealer who took Siu to gamble at baccarat between August 2007 and January
last year in Macau casinos, including the Guangdong hall of The Venetian casino, the Wong Kam
hall of the Lisboa casino, and the Chengdu hall.

footnote 33
Siu had paid about HK$10 million to Wong in tips,-

Siu testified earlier this week that he believed the plan to abduct and murder Wong was
orchestrated because someone was angry he had won such a huge sum of money and wanted it
back.

Wong, 40, began his testimony in the hearing yesterday by revealing details of the life of the "God
of Gambling" who started as a barber.

The court was told that Wong first met Slu when he was a barber and Wong worked at his mother's
cafe in Yuen Long. Wong said Siu began building village houses in 2000.In 2004, Wong became a
"mud-chip dealer"- an agent who earns commissions through trading a casino's chips to gamblers
- on a floating casino.

He said he then started a cafe with a partner in Yuen Long around 2005, but had continued to work
intermittently as a mud"chip dealer in Macau casinos.

According to Wong, he began dealing in chips at the Macao Sands Chengdu gambling hall -one of
three halls where Siu won HK$100 million on baccarat.

He said he and Siu initially visited the casino to gamble about "once every 10 days or so" and Siu
bet "tens of thousands" on each game.

Wong said the bets got bigger and bigger- from HK$500,000 to HK$1.5 million- and he estimated
Siu won or lost tens of millions gambling at Macau casinos.

He also said he was required to deposit one to two million dollars in a casino's account to become
a mud-chip dealer, but such deposits were insufficient for him to be Siu's mud-chip dealer when his

bets weie so laige.


Wong will continue to give evidence on Monday. Copyright (c) 2009. South China Morning Post

"Yuen Long God of Gambling" Siu Yun-ping said yesterday he gave a HK$20 million loan to a dealer
who worked for one of three Macau gambling halls where he had previously won more than
HK$100 million.

Testifying in the Court of First Instance, Siu said he was assaulted after he gave out the loan and
it had not been repaid although he made several attempts to chase after it.

Siu told the court he lent the money as a personal loan to casino dealer Ma Hon-cheung, who
worked for Cheung Chi-tai, nicknamed "Tsang Pau", operating two gambling halls In Macau
casinos, including the Chengdu hall in the Sands.

The Chengdu was run by Cheung Chi-tai, the court has been told.

Siu said Ma originally asked him for about HK$15 million on February 1S last year and promised to
repay him in three hours. He gave Ma a bank draft for HK$20 million that he "just happened" to
have obtained from Bank of China earlier that day.

But Ma told him the repayment was not ready when they met for dinner in a Shenzhen restaurant
that evening. Slu was beaten up by five men outside the restaurant as he left.

Siu was giving evidence at the trial of five Wo Hop To triad members accused of Involvement in a
plot to kill another casino dealer, Wong Kam-ming, last year- including one who is alleged to have
conspired with a "Tsang Pau" to commit murder.

He said that when Ma asked him for the money he promised to repay him In "mud chips" -a type
of gambling chip used by Siu- in three hours. Siu said he suspected the attack on him in Shenzhen
was arranged by Ma.

A man known as the "Yuen Long God of Gambling" was attacked by a gang of five on the mainland
last year after he had won more than HK$100 million from Macau casinos in six months, a court
heard yesterday.

Siu Yun-ping told the Court of First Instance that his house had also been set on fire and his son
received threatening phone calls.

He said he was the only customer of casino dealer Wong Kam-ming, who as a result of his
successes at the tables received more than HK$50 million in tips and commissions, and later
become the target of a murder plot.

Footnote 33
Siu- previously described by prosecutors as the "Yuen Long God of Gambling", or "Lang Tou Ping"
-was giving evidence at the trial of five alleged Wo Hop To triad members, who have been accused
of involvement in the plan to kill Wong in May last year.

The prosecution has alleged that the plan was ordered by Cheung Chi-tai- nicknamed "Tsang
Pau" -whom Siu yesterday described as the person in charge of the Chengdu gambling hall at the
Sands Casino in Macau, one of the VIP halls he patronised during his winning streak.

See Wah-lun, 30, Tang Ka-man, 31, Wong Chi-man, 26, Yeung Chun-kit, 22, and Chan Ho-leung,
35, have pleaded not guilty to charges including acting as triad members and conspiracy to cause
grievous bodily harm.

See, an alleged senior member of the group, is also charged with conspiracy to commit murder and
soliciting nine people, including the four other defendants, to murder.

Yesterday, Siu said he had won more than HK$100 million between August 2007 and January last
year, playing baccarat in the Guangdong hall of The Venetian, the Wong Kam hall of the Lis boa and
the Chengdu hall. He paid about HK$10 million to Wong in tips.

Slu said he gambled with "mud chips" -sold to gamblers on commission by intermediaries ..

He said he obtained the cl1ips from Wong, whom he described as a long-term friend. Wong earned
a commission every time he placed a bet regardless of whether Siu won or lost.

If Siu won, he would be paid with a bank draft issued by a casino operator. Wong, as the dealer,
was the middleman who helped to collect the draft.

Slu told the court that Wong had earned HK$40 million to HK$50 million in commission from his
winnings in the six months.

He said he subsequently had a series of unpleasant experiences that left him very worried and
unhappy.

In mid-February last year, after the arson attack on his home and the calls to his son, he was
attacked by five men after dinner with two friends in Shenzhen.

He filed a report at Pat Heung police station a few days later.

Cross-examined by defence barristers John Haynes, Siu said he told the police about his suspicion
that the person in charge of a gambling hall had done something harmful to him, probably because
he won a great deal of money.

SJ001643

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00467

He also told them that he believed someone was jealous and suspected him of cheating. He
thought that person had planned to kill Wong to force him to return the money.

Slu said he drew a bank draft after the attack and instructed Wong to hand it to Cheung at the
Sands casino's service counter at the Shun Tak ferry pier. But he Instructed the bank to stop
payment after he reported the assault to pollee.

He also told the court that he had won the money fairly through sheer luck, although he had "some
tips of his own'' in playing baccarat.
The court heard earlier that Wong's abduction was ordered for May 15 last year In Pat Heuhg, but
the plot was foiled when one of the gang - who ha-s since given evidence In the trial under Immunity
- told the police.

The original plan, the court heard, was to break Wong's arms and legs, but It was later decided that
he should be murdered.
The trial continues to(jay.

'Gambling king' took fallen tycoon aboard to bet
301 words
28 June 2009
South China Morning Post
SCMP

English
(c) 2009 South China Morning Post Publishers Limited, Hong Kong. All rights reserved.

The casino ship Neptune is closely linked with Lin Chiu, the "gambling king of the high seas"
arrested last year over a corruption scandal involving the head of the Gome electrical-appliance
store chain, Wong Kwong-yu. Lin Cheuk-fung, chairman of the ship's operator, the Neptune Group,
is the younger brother of Lin Chiu (also known as Lian Chao).

According to the influential mainland business magazine Caijing, Lin Chiu, a delegate to the
Guangdong's Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 2003 to 2007,
invited Wong and mainland officials to gamble aboard the Neptune and helped the tycoon launder
money.

Wong was arrested in November for stock manipulation. Lin Chiu was arrested a month later.
Caijing reported that he had tried to help Wong's wife, Du Juan , flee.

Wong's arrest brought down a number of heavyweights formerly in charge of law and order in
Guangdong: Chen Shaoji, formerly chairman of the Guangdong CPPCC, his former deputy Zheng
Shaodong - who rose to become assistant minister of public security - and his deputy Xiang
Huaizhu . Fallen Shenzhen mayor Xu Zongheng, now being investigated by the Communist Party's
disciplinary watchdog, is also implicated in Wong's case.

The newspaper Wen Wei Po has reported that Lin Chiu and Hong Kong triad boss Cheung Chi-tai
jointly invested in the Neptune in 1996. Caijing has reported that Cheung was arrested for links
with Lin.

A crew member who has worked on the Neptune for two years said many of her colleagues had
seen Wong gambling. "My boss, Mr Lin [Lin Chiu], used to bring his friends, most of them mainland
officials or tycoons, on board for gambling. One of the most well-known figures was Wong."

PROPOSED OPEN OFFER


The Company proposes to raise approximately HK$143.98 million, before
expenses, by issuing 719,881,500 Offer Shares at a price of HK$0.2 per Offer
Share by way of Open Offer, on the basis of one Offer Share for every two
Consolidated Shares held on the Record Date and payable in full on acceptance.
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders, To qualify for

Warning of the risk of dealing in the Shares

doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

his/her/its own professional adviser.

The Company understands that the arrangement of the First Profit Agreement and

no tax burden arising from the Profit for Base Move upon completion of the

Certain Champ has, pursuant to a call option agreement dated 16 January 2007,
granted to the Company the Call Option. The Call Option is, subject to Completion,

price for the exercise of the Call Option is HK$350,000,000 (with reference to the
consideration of the Acquisition) and shall be satisfied in cash.
The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further
announcement will be made hy the Company upon exercise of the Call Option.

DIRECTORS' VIEWS
As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be
disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasiom to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promoter in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:
(1)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and docs not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001677
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00501

Footnote 42
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
commission/service fee for the Rolling Turnover brought by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hou Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.

(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon CompLetion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and Highest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 December
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unable to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business" belo\V v;jth the benefits of the .l\cquisition including the Group's perpetua.!
rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the source of the Profit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Share-holders
as a whole.
1

The consideration is determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (1) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001678
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00502

footnote 42
As such, the Directors (including the independent non--executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for the Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK :FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The following are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(1)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou \Van will not be lured away
by other junket operators.

(2)

The Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of Hou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands Macao under the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. In
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

(4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Representative
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Representative
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hon Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

(5)

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan and/
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed.

(6)

The Junket Reprcsentati ve Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit Agreements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

10

SJ001679

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00503

footnote 42
(8)

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

(9)

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

(10)

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

(11)

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

GUARANTEED PROFIT

Hou Wan has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest Increase that
the annual Profit during the period of one year commencing from the date of
Completion ("First Relevant Period") shall not be less than HK$120,000,000 ("First
Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest
Increase for the First Relevant Period shall be less than HK$120,000,000, Bon Wan
undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum calculated in accordance with the
following formula (the "First Adjustment") within 60 days after the First Relevant
Period (provided that the First Adjustment shall not be more than HK$ 120,000,000):
First Adjustment = (A 1 - B 1) x 5
where:

Bl

HK$120,000,000
the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest Increase during the
First Relevant Period

and if the resulting First Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Highest Increase
shall not be required to pay any adjustment for the First Relevant Period.
In addition, Hou Wan has also irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest
Increase that the Profit during the period of one year commencing from the first
day after the First Relevant Period ("Second Relevant Period") shall not be less
than HK$132,000,000 ("Second Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received
and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second Relevant Period shall be less
than HK$132,000,000, Hou \Van undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum
calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Second Adjustment")
within 60 days after the Second Relevant Period (provided that the Second
Adjustment shall not be more than HK$132,000,000):
Second Adjustment = (A2 - B2) x 4
where:
A2
B2

HK$132,000,000
the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second
Relevant Period

and if the resulting Second Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Hou Wan shall
not be required to pay any adjustment for the Second Relevant Period. The
Guaranteed Profit is still valid in the event that Hou Wan failed to obtain a junket
licence from the Macau Government.
The Guaranteed Profit is determined under arm's length negotiation between relevant
parties by reference to the performance of Hou Wan (the Company was given to
understand by Hou Wan that the Rolling Turnover per annum in average was
approximately HK$30 billion) and, as a reference to the market condition of the
gaming industry, research reports conducted by leading investment banks that made
a revenue estimate of approximately HK$300,000,000 a month to be derived from
one gaming table of Baccarat (being the most accessible game in a VIP Club in
Macau).
Mr. Guo has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Hou Wan under the First Profit
Agreement.

their personal and family background, their financial information and ci vii
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
representative license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customers. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou Wan, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.

In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, tlH~ Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of' the Acquisition Agreement are fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LAWS OJ:!' HONG KONG AND THE LISTING
RULES
As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Director~'
knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is licensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in 1V1acau.

footnote 42
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (i) fail to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or may cancel the listing of, the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bet/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As iheir activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
laws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in fonriulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company will from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION


As the relevant ratios as referred to in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules are 100% or
more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the
Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval by the
Shareholders at the EGM. No Shareholder has an interest in the Acquisition and is
required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, further information in respect of the
Acquisition, together with the notice of the EGM will be despatched to the
Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The circular will contain
additional disclosures as required under the Stock Exchange Gambling Guidelines.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of IIK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1 ,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged at I 0,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
tot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.
The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenfies to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (inclLLding the respective rights of the Shareholders).
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EG!v1 to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect
from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock

day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All
activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares
arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities

market price per Consolidated Share for the period from 29 March 2007 to 9 May
2007 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares who
wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the
Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their
brokers, contact Ms. Rosita Kiu (Tel.: 2298-62] 5 and Fax.: 2295-0682) of Kingston
Securitjes during this period. Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should
note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd Jots of the Consolidated
Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot
facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares
The detailed trading arrangement for the Share Consolidation will be set out in the
circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will
be made when the expected timetable is available.

Free exchange of share certificates


Shareholders may exchange their share certificates for the Existing Shares for new
share certificates for the Consolidated Shares on or after 29 March 2007. This may
be done free of charge by delivering the share certificates for the Existing Shares

as may be stipulated by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each new share

10,000 Consolidated Shares.

Qualifying Shareholders
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company
will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and (ii) the
Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus, for information only, to the Excluded
Shareholders. To qualify for the Open Offer, the Shareholders must at the close of
business on the Record Date:
(i)

be registered on the register of members of the Company; and

(ii)

not being Excluded Shareholders.

In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date, the


Shareholders must lodge any transfer of the Shares (with the relevant share
certificates) for registration with the Registrar by 4:00p.m. on 3 April 2007. The
address of the Registrar is:

Rooms 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre
183 Queen's Road East
Hong Kong
The invitation to subscribe for the Offer Shares to be made to the Qualifying
Shareholders will not be transferable. There will not be any trading in nil-paid
entitlements on the Stock Exchange and the Qualifying Shareholders will not be
entitled to subscribe for any Offer Shares in excess of their respective assured
entitlements. In the view that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given equal and
fair opportunities to participate in the Company's future development and thereby
entitling to subscribe for his/her respective Offer Shares without discrimination at
the same price at an attractive discount to the Share price as at the Latest Trading
Date in proportion to his/her existing shareholding of the Company, the Directors
are of the opinion that the Company will not attempt to serve additional effort and
extra administration work to consider the allocation basis to accommodate any
Offer Shares not validly applied for by the Shareholders in the event that the Open
Offer is under-subscribed.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders


If, at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder's registered address
and correspondence address on the register of members of the Company is in a
place outside Hong Kong, that Shareholder may not be eligible to take part in the
Open Offer as the Prospectus Documents are not expected to be registered and/or
filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong
Kong. The Board will make enquiries to its lawyers as to whether the issue of Offer
Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities
legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant
regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing
Rules. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be
necessary or expedient not to offer Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the
Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Accordingly, the
Open Offer will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The results of the
enquiries and the basis of exclusion of Overseas Shareholders will be disclosed in
the Prospectus.

The Company will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders
and (ii) the Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus, for information only, to
the Excluded Shareholders.

(i)

a discount of approximately 9.09% to the closing price of HK$0.22 per


Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation becoming effective)
as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;

(ii)

a premium of approximately 1.01% to the average closing prices of

as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date; and

(v)

a premium of approximately 19.76% over the audited net asset value per
Consolidated Share of approximately HK$0.167 based on the audited
consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2006 as shown in
the annual report 2006 of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2006
and the number of the Consolidated Shares in issue immediately after the
Share Consolidation becoming effective but before the completion of the
Open Offer.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the
Company and the Underwriters after having taken into account, among other things,
(i) the recent price performance of the Shares and (ii) the potential investment
opportunity to the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the terms of the Open
Offer are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the
Shareholders as a whole.
Status of the Offer Shares

respects with the Consolidated Shares (assuming the Share Consolidation becoming

WARNING 01<' THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE O:F PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company. The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled
should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE LAST TWELVE


MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BE:FORE THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEl\lENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.

(4)

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into M.acau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company !'-~arne would be appropriate. Upon the change of nan1e becoming
effective, the Company will adopt "'([Ij ~E ~ 1\iil fi ll~ 0 tlj " as its new Chinese
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
followings:
(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001694

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00518

Footnote 42
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the register
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and will
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.
A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the
effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.

EXPECTED TIMET ABLE


All times stated in this announcement refer to Hong Kong times. The expected
timetable for the Share Consolidation and the Open Offer set out below is indicative
only and it has been prepared on the assumption that the Acquisition and the Share
Consolidation will be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM. The expected

consideration of the Acquisition) and shall be satisfied in cash.
The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further

DIRECTORS' VIEWS
As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be
disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasions to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promote"r in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:

(l)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and does not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001835
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00659

footnote 45
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
cornmissionJservice fee for the Rolling Turnover brought by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hon Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.

(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon Completion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and Highest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 December
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unab]'e to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business" below with the benefits of the Acquisition, including the Group's perpetual
rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the source of the Profit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders
as a whole.
The consideration is determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (1) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001836
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00660

Footnote 45
As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for the Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The following are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(1)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou Wan will not be lured away
by other junket operators.

(2)

The RoHing Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of [fou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands ivfacao under the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. In
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

( 4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Representative
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Representative
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hou Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan and/
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed,

(6)

The Junket Representative Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit i\grcements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

{8)

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

(9)

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

(10)

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Information of Credible
Credible was incorporated on 13 November 2006 and is an investment holding
company.
The main asset of Credible is its 20% equity interest in Base Move. According to
the unaudited management accounts of Credible, the total assets of Credible as at
31 December 2006 is HK$780 and Credible has no liability as at 31 December
2006. There is no profit or loss recorded in the unaudited management accounts of
Credible for the period commencing on 13 November 2006 (the date of its
incorporation) to 31 December 2006.

Information of Base Move


To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information aDd belief having made aU
reasonable enquiries, Base Move is an investment holding company incorporated in
the British Virgin Islands on 22 September 2006, and owned as to 20% by Credible
and 80% by Certain Champ (wholly owned by Mr. Guo). To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, other than the Second Profit Agreement, Base Move does not have any
assets or liabilities nor does it has any profit or loss recorded as at the date of this
announcement. Mr. Guo has over 15-year experiences in the gaming industry (both
in Asia and North America). He has been working as a junket in various VIP Clubs
in Macau (including the Chengdu VIP Club at Sands Macao), responsible for
introducing customers to the VIP Club. Mr. Guo is the founder of Hou Wan and
has through Hou Wan acted as a junket representative for Sands Macao since July
2005.
Hou Wan is a company incorporated in Macau on 9 November 2004 and is whollyowned by Mr. Guo.
So far as the Directors are aware, Hou Wan with its first junket license granted on
17 August 2005 is the only appointed junket representative at Chengdu VIP Club.
The Profit Agreements do not provide for the profit of other VIP Clubs to be
included as part of the Profit and there is currentl.y no intention for Hou Wan to be
a junket representative of other VIP Clubs. Acting as a junket representative at
Sands Macao is the only track record that Hou /an has in respect of its operation
as a junket representative. Other than being a junket representative, !-!ou Wan docs
not engage in any other business. As at the date of this announcement, the Company
has been informed that Hou Wan has approximately 500 junket agents. The licence
granted to Hou Wan for acting as a junket operator is valid for one year and is
renewable. Hou Wan's re-newed licence has been granted on 15 December 2006
and is valid until 31 December 2007. In relation to the requirements for obtaining a
junket licence from the Macau Government, the licence can only be granted when
the applicant is found to comply with the probity requirements. If the applicant is a.
corporate gaming operator, the probity requirements also apply to its shareholder
with 5% or more of the share capital and its key employees. The applicant, when
submitting an application request, has to produce, among other things, a questionnaire
to ascertain the probity of the applicant. To consider whether the applicant fulfill
the probity requirement, the relevant authorities of the Macau Government will
consider the information provided by the applicant in the questionnaire, including

13

SJ001840
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00664

footnote 45
its corporate, business and financial information, information regarding its key
employees and shareholders, judicial litigation and governmental investigation,
bankruptcy and insolvency, its previous experience in junket business, The relevant
authorities will also consider the information provided by the corporate applicant's
shareholder with 5% or more of the share capital and key employees, including
their personal and family background, their financial information and civil
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
representative license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customer~. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou Wan, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.
In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, !.he Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.

llVIPUCA TIONS UNDER THE LAWS OF HONG KONG AND THE LISTING
RULES
As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is licensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in Macau.

footnote 45
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (i) fail to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or rnay cancel the listing of~ the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bet/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As their activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
laws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in formulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company will from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.
LISTING RULES

Il\1PLIC.{~\\ TION

more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.

Effects of the Share Consolidation


The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged at 10,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
lot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.
The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenses to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (including the respective rights of the Shareholders).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation


The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGIV1 to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock

Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot
facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares

circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will
be made when the expected timetable is available.

share certificates for the Consolidated Shares on or after 29 March 2007. This may

legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant
regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule l3.36(2)(a) of the Listing
Rules. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be
necessary or expedient not to offer Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the

Open Offer will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The results of the

WARNING OF THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly hear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/its position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

REASONS l<'OR TIIE OPEN OFFER AND USE Ol<' PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
milUon (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company. The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they arc entitled
should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE LAST TWELVE


MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name becoming
effective, the Company will adopt "l'flj: ]:
ll,t] /fi ~Pl. 0 tl] " as its new Chinese
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
followings:

(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001852
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00676

footnote 45
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the register
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and wlll
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.

A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the


effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE
All times stated in this announcement refer to Hong Kong times. The expected
timetable for the Share Consolidation and the Open Offer set out below is indicative
only and it has been prepared on the assumption that the Acquisition and the Share
Consolidation will be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM. The expected
timetable is subject to change, and any such change will be announced by the
Company as and when appropriate.

Share by way of Open Offer, on the basis of one Offer Share for every two
Consolidated Shares held on the Record Date and payable in full on acceptance.
The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for

Footnote 47
, The Company understands that the arrangement of the First Profit Agreement and
the Second Profit Agreement is for the purpose of ringfencing and ensuring there is
no tax burden arising from the Profit for Base Move upon completion of the

made all reasonable enquiries (including obtaining legal advice from the legal advisor

THE CALL OPTION


Certain Champ has, pursuant to a call option agreement dated 16 January 2007,
granted to the Company the Call Option. The Call Option is, subject to Completion,
exercisable by the Company within 24 months from Completion. The aggregate
price for the exercise of the Call Option is HK$350,000,000 (with reference to the
consideration of the Acquisition) and shall be satisfied in cash.
The Company has no current intention to exercise the Call Option. Further
announcement will be made by the Company upon exercise of the Call Option.

DIRECTORS' VIEWS
As the Junket Representative Agreement is confidential, its major terms cannot be
disclosed to the Directors. However, the Directors had (i) visited Sands Macao on
various occasions to observe the level and operation of Hou Wan's business; (ii)
reviewed the junket representative settlement forms issued by Sands Macao to Hou
Wan evidencing the Rolling Turnover generated at Chengdu VIP Club; (iii) reviewed
the licences issued to Hou Wan to operate its business and the Macanese legal
opinion on the legality and validity of Hou Wan; and (iv) conducted extensive
research on junket business in Macau, including reviewing reports prepared by
well-known investment banks in relation to Macau gaming business and making
enquiries with the practitioners in the gaming industry, in order to understand the
arrangement between the junket operators and Sands Macao operators generally.
The Directors understand that generally, the term of the agreement between the
junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied with the term of the junket licence.
Such kind of agreement will be revoked once the renewal of the junket licence
fails. Having reviewed the Junket Representative Agreement, the Macanese lawyers
are of the view that Hou Wan is validly licensed to act as a gaming promoter in
Macau. As such, the Directors have exercised their fiduciary duty to ensure that the
Junket Representative Agreement does indeed exist and the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders are protected in respect of the Acquisition.
Despite this, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable
given that:

(1)

Benefits of the Acquisition


(a)

The right to the Profit under the Profit Agreements is for an


unlimited period of time, instead of a fixed period of time. It enables
the Company to continually enjoy the potential strong growth in
Macau gaming business.

(b)

There is no share of loss under the Profit Agreements as the Profit


is essentially based on 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover generated by
Hou Wan and does not include expenses incurred by Hou Wan
(which will be borne by Hou Wan).

SJ001867
PlaintiffEx. 1102 00691

Footnote 47
The Company understands that Hou Wan receives monthly junket
representative settlement forms signed off by Sands Macao. Therefore, based
on such settlement forms, the monthly profit is calculated and ascertained.
The Company will appoint representative to attend the monthly settlements
of commission paid by Sands Macao to Hou Wan in the future and review
those junket representative settlement for each month. The Company has
indicated that, for each month, Sands Macao will pay to Hou Wan the
commission/service fee for the Rolling Turnover brought by Hou Wan to
Sands Macao. Hou Wan will then pay the Profit, being 0.4% Rolling
Turnover, to Highest Increase and Highest Increase in turn will pay the
Profit to Base Move.

(2)

Mr. Guo's personal interest


Mr. Guo's personal interest lies with the failure and success of Hou Wan.
Upon Completion, Mr. Guo still indirectly holds 80% equity interest in
Base Move. That means he still has a substantial interest in Highest Increase,
the one holding the Profit which depends on the renewal of Hou Wan's
junket licence and partially on the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan
and/or its customers pursuant t.o the Junke-t Representative Arrangement.
In view of Mr. Guo's substantial interest in Base Move and IEghest Increase
and his abundance of experience in gaming industry, the Directors believe
that, after Completion, Mr. Guo will continue to manage Hou Wan in a
prudent and efficient manner as the performance of Hou Wan has a direct
impact on him. As such, the risk of non-renewal of the junket licence and
Junket Representative Arrangement upon expiry is minimized.

(3)

Renewal of junket licence


The appointment of Hou Wan as a junket representative by Sands Macao,
evidences Hou Wan's and Mr. Guo's credentials. Also, Hou Wan has
renewed its junket licence from the Macau Government on 15 Decem.ber
2006 and is valid until 31 December 2007. So far, the Company is not
aware of any circumstance that makes Hou Wan unable to fulfill the probity
requirement that it had fulfilled for the grant of the junket licence.

After balancing the risks as stated in the section headed "Risk Factors of Junket
Business;; below with the benefits of the Acquisition, inciuding the Group's perpetual
rights to the Profit, no share of loss by the Group and the source of the Profit under
the Profit Agreements, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and
reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders
as a whole.
The consideration is determined after ann's length negotiation between the Company
and Mr. Guo after considering that (1) the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue source and provide a substantial and stable income source to the Group in
view of the acquisition of the Profit by Base Move from Hou Wan under the Profit
Agreements; (2) the loosening of travel restrictions of mainland Chinese visitors;
and (3) the prospects of Macau's gaming business.
The Company considers acquiring a profit stream which has no share of loss under
the Profit Agreements of Hou Wan will not prejudicially affect the Company. The
Company understands that no guarantee has been given by Mr. Guo and Hou Wan
under the Junket Representative Agreement.

SJ001868

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00692

footnote 47
As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider
the consideration for the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. Please refer to the
paragraph headed "Reasons for lhe Acquisition" for further details of the reasons
for the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS OF JUNKET BUSINESS


The following are the risk factors in relation to the junket business operated by
Hou Wan:
(1)

The provision of junket business is competitive in general. There is no


guarantee that the targeted customers of Hou Wan will not be lured away
by other junket operators.

(2)

The Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan operating as a junket


representative in Sands Macao relies on, among other factors, the
attractiveness of Sands Macao to the prospective customers, Hou Wan's
ability to procure customers to Sands Macao, annual renewal of the junket
licence of Hou Wan by the Macau Government, tenure of Hou Wan acting
as junket representative for Sands Macao under the Junket Representative
Agreement. There is no assurance that Sands Macao is always attractive. Tn
the event that Hou Wan ceases to be committed to the junket business or
cease to be appointed as junket representative by Sands Macao, the junket
business, and thereby the Profit to be paid to Base Move, may be adversely
affected. Moreover, if Hou Wan fails to obtain the renewal of its junket
licence from the Macau Government, it can no longer operate its junket
business and no Profit can be paid to Base Move as a result.

(3)

In the event that Sands Macao becomes the target for carrying out money
laundering, the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan may be affected
and/or interrupted.

(4)

The availability of the Profit relating to the Rolling Turnover generated by


Hou Wan at Sands Macao gaming rooms pursuant to the Junket
Representative Agreement heavily depends on the subsistence of the Junket
Representative Agreement and on whether the Junket Representative
Agreement can be successfully renewed. The Junket Represcntati ve
Agreement may or may not be renewed by Sands Macao at the expiry of
the term of the Junket Representative Agreement. In general, the term of
agreement between the junket operator and Sands Macao operator is tied
with the term of the junket licence. Therefore, the term of the Junket
Representative Agreement can also be tied with the term of Hou Wan's
junket licence, which is valid for one year.

(5)

As the Profit is sourced from Rolling Turnover generated by Hou Wan andi
or its customers pursuant to the Junket Representative Agreement, there is
a risk that the source of the Profit will cease if the Junket Representative
Agreement expires or the junket licence of Hou Wan cannot be renewed.

(6)

The Junket Representative Agreement may be terminated at any time by


either party thereto.

(7)

The term of the Junket Representative Agreement is substantially shorter


than that of the Profit Agreements and may or may not be renewable upon
expiry.

10

SJ001869

Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00693

footnote 4 '1
(8)

The Company is not a party to the Junket Representative Agreement and


therefore it has no control on the termination and the renewal of the Junket
Representative Agreement.

(9)

The junket licence of Hou Wan granted by the Macau Government is subject
to renewal annually.

(10)

Sands Macao's licence may be revoked by the Macau Government.

(11)

There is a possibility that another junket representative could be appointed


at Chengdu VIP Club and if this is the case, the Profit would be affected.

Hou Wan has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest Increase that
the annual Profit during the period of one year commencing from the date of
Completion ("First Relevant Period") shall not be less than HK$120,000,000 ("First
Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest
Increase for the First Relevant Period shall be less than HK$120,000,000, Hou Wan
undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum calculated in accordance with the
following formula (the "First Adjustment") within 60 days after the First Relevant
Period (provided that the First Adjustment shall not be more than HKS 120,000,000);
First Adjustment= (AI- Bl) x 5
where:
Al

HK$120,000,000
the Profit received and/or receivable by Highest Increase during the
First Relevant Period

and if the resulting First Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Highest Increase
shall not be required to pay any adjustment for the First Relevant Period.
In addition, Hou Wan has also irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to Highest
Increase that the Profit during the period of one year commencing from the first
day after the First Relevant Period ("Second Relevant Period") shall not be less
than HK$132,000,000 ("Second Guaranteed Profit"). In the event the Profit received
and/or receivable by Highest Increase for the Second Relevant Period shall be less
than HK$132,000,000, Hou Wan undertakes to pay to Highest Increase the sum
calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Second Adjustment")
within 60 days after the Second Relevant Period (provided that the Second
Adjustment shall not be more than HK$132,000,000):
Second Adjustment= (A2 - B2) x 4
where:
A2

HK$132,000,000

Relevant Period

and if the resulting Second Adjustment shall be a negative figure, Hou Wan shall
not be required to pay any adjustment for the Second Relevant Period. The
Guaranteed Profit is still valid in the event that Hou Wan failed to obtain a junket
licence from the Macau Government.
The Guaranteed Profit is determined under arm's length negotiation between relevant
parties by reference to the performance of l-lou Wan (the Company was given to
understand by Hou Wan that the Rolling Turnover per annum in average was
approximately HK$30 billion) and, as a reference to the market condition of the
gaming industry, research reports conducted by leading investment banks that made
a revenue estimate of approximately HK$300,000,000 a month to be derived from
one gaming table of Baccarat (being the most accessible game in a VIP Club in
Macau).
Mr. Guo has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Hou Wan under the First Profit
Agreement.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Information of Credible
Credible was incorporated on 13 November 2006 and is an investment holding
company.
The main asset of Credible is its 20% equity interest in Base Move. According to
the unaudited management accounts of Credible, the total assets of Credible as at
31 December 2006 is IIK$780 and Credible has no liability as at 31 December
2006. There is no profit or loss recorded in the unaudited management accounts of
Credible fo"r the period commencing on 13 November 2006 (the date of its
incorporation) to 31 December 2006.
Information of Base Move
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move is an investment holding company incorporated in
the British Virgin Islands on 22 September 2006, and owned as to 20% by Credible
and 80% by Certain Champ (wholly owned by Mr. Guo). To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, other than the Second Profit Agreement, Base Move does not have any
assets or liabilities nor docs it has any profit or loss recorded as at the date of this
announcement. Mr. Guo has over 15-year experiences in the gaming industry (both
in Asia and North America). He has been working as a junket in various VIP Clubs
in Macau (including the Chengdu VIP Club at Sands Macao), responsible for
introducing customers to the VIP Club. Mr. Guo is the founder of Hou Wan and
has through Hou Wan acted as a junket representative for Sands Macao since July
2005.
Hou Wan is a company incorporated in Macau on 9 November 2004 and is whollyowned by Mr. Guo.
So far as the Directors are aware, Hou Wan with its first junket license granted on
17 August 2005 is the only appointed junket representative at Chcngdu VIP Club.
The Profit Agreements do not provide for the profit of other VIP Clubs to be
included as part of the Profit and there is currently no intention for Hou Wan to be
a junket representative of other VIP Clubs. Acting as a junket representative at
Sands Macao is the only track record that Hou Wan has in respect of its operation
as a junket representative. Other than being a junket representative, Hou Wan does
not engage in any other business. As at the date of this announcement, the Company
has been informed that Hou Wan has approximately 500 junket agents. The licence
granted to Hou Wan for acting as a junket operator is valid for one year and is
renewable. Hou Wan's re-newed licence has been granted on 15 December 2006
and is valid until 31 December 2007. In relation to the requirements for obtaining a
junket licence from the Macau Government, the licence can only be granted when
the applicant is found to comply with the probity requirements. If the applicant is a
corporate gaming operator, the probity requirements also apply to its shareholder
with 5% or more of the share capital and its key employees. The applicant, when
submitting an application request, has to produce, among other things, a questionnaire
to ascertain the probity of the applicant. To consider whether the applicant fulfill
the probity requirement, the relevant authorities of the Macau Government will
consider the information provided by the applicant in the questionnaire, including

13

SJ001872
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00696

footnote 47
its corporate, business and financial information, information regarding its key
employees and shareholders, judicial litigation and governmental investigation,
bankruptcy and insolvency, its previous experience in junket business. The relevant
authorities will also consider the information provided by the corporate applicant's
shareholder with 5% or more of the share capital and key employees, including
their personal and family background, their financial information and civil
proceedings or criminal investigation that they may be involved. To the best
knowledge of the Directors, the role of Sands Macao in renewing the junket
representative license for Hou Wan is to issue a letter to the relevant government
department in Macau confirming that the gaming promoter continues to be a gaming
promoter for Sands Macao.
As a junket representative, being an independent contractor responsible for soliciting
customers to casinos, Hou Wan is primarily responsible for directing gaming
customers to Sands Macao and using its best endeavors to actively promote Sands
Macao to existing and potential customers. It receives a commission on the Rolling
Turnover from Sands Macao. The net profit it receives, after deducting commission
paid by it to its agents, administrative expenses and tax payable to the Macau
Government, is approximately 0.4% of the Rolling Turnover.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all
reasonable enquiries, Base Move, Mr. Guo and their ultimate beneficial owners, are
Independent Third Parties and all of them are independent of and not connected
with the Directors and their respective associates.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
Sands Macao is operated by Venetian Macau Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., the securities of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on the monthly junket representative settlement forms, which are the official
invoices issued to Hou Wan by Sands Macao evidencing the Rolling Turnover and
the commission of Hou Wan, the unaudited Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan for the period between July 2005 and October 2006 amounted to approximately
HK$44.34 billion.

In view of the recent economy of Macau and the prospects of Macau's gaming
business, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will broaden the Group's
revenue sources and provide a stable income stream to the Group. Accordingly,
the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are fair
and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a
whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LAWS OF HONG KONG AND THE LISTING
RULES
As covered by the legal opinion as the Macau law, Hou Wan is validly licensed to
act as a gaming promoter (or junket) in Macau. To the best of the Directors'
knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Sands
Macao is 1icensed to operate junket business and gaming business by the relevant
authorities in Macau.

footnote 47
Shareholders should be aware that under the guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange
in relation to "Gambling activities undertaken by listing applicants and/or listed
issuers" dated 11 March 2003, should the Group directly or indirectly be engaged
in gambling activities and operation of such gambling activities (j) fail to comply
with the applicable laws in the areas where such activities operate and/or (ii)
contravene the Gambling Ordinance, the Company or its business may be considered
unsuitable for listing under Rule 18.04 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange
may direct the Company to take remedial action, and/or may suspend dealings in,
or may cancel the listing of, the Shares.
In relation to the prevention of the money laundering activities, as both Hou Wan
and Sands Macao are respectively licensed to operate junket business and gaming
business by the relevant authorities in Macau and the amount of bet/Rolling Turnover
is properly registered by both Hou Wan and Sands Macao, their gaming activities
and businesses are subject to stringent control and regulation of the Macau
Government. As their activities are under the regulation of the Macau Government
and covered by a local legal opinion (as to Hong Kong law) that the gaming
promotion businesses carried out by Hou Wan do not contravene any applicable
laws of Hong Kong, the Directors, based on the legal opinions issued by Macanese
lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer, confirms that the activities they participate are
legal and lawful and thereby the income derived from these activities is also be
lawful and proper.
Apart from relying on such stringent official control, the Company, with the aid of
Mr. Ban Wan, an chief executive officer in the Company who has been working in
the gaming industry in Macau and passage vessel with gaming facilities for about
20 years (of which he has participated in the management level of gaming industry
for about 10 years), will also use its best endeavours to procure that effective
internal control systems are in place to make sure that the dividend distributed
from Base Move is derived from proper source, for instance, the Company will
adopt the guideline set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in formulating antimoney laundering measures. The Company will also cross-check the Profit received
and/or receivable with the original monthly junket representative settlement forms
issued by Sands Macao to Hou Wan. Further, the Company will from time to time
obtain direct confirmation in respect of the Rolling Turnover generated by Hou
Wan from Sands Macao.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION


As the relevant ratios as referred to in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules are 100% or
more, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the
Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval by the
Shareholders at the EGM. No Shareholder has an interest in the Acquisition and is
required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, further information in respect of the
Acquisition, together with the notice of the EGM will be despatched to the
Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules. The circular will contain
additional disclosures as required under the Stock Exchange Gambling Guidelines.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION


The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every
ten Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share
of HK$0.2. As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the
Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares of
which 14,397,630,000 Existing Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as
fully paid. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has no derivatives,
options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible
or exchangeable into Shares.

Effects of the Share Consolidation


The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing
Shares in issue prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and there will
be no change in the respective rights of the Shareholders. Fractional Consolidated
Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional
entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit
of the Company. Board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain
unchanged
10,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot, which is the same board
lot size for trading in the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the
closing price of HK$0.22 per Consolidated Share (assuming the Share Consolidation
becoming effective) on the Last Trading Date, the value of each board lot of l 0,000
Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,200.

at

The effects of the Share Consolidation on the share capital of the Company is set
out under the section headed "Effects of the Share Consolidation on the share
capital of the Company" in this announcement. Other than the expenses to be
incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation
thereof will not, by itself, affect the underlying assets, business operations,
management or financial position of the Group or the interests of the Shareholders
as a whole (including the respective rights of the Shareholders).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation


The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions having been
fulfilled:
(a)

the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to


approve the Share Consolidation; and

(b)

the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and
permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share
Consolidation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation


Taking into account that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of
the Existing Shares and their trading price per board lot, and hence reducing the
overall transaction and handling costs for dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the
Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in
favour of the ordinary resolution for approval of the Share Consolidation at the
EGM.

Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot
facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares
The detailed trading arrangement for the Share Consolidation will be set out in the
circular, which shall contain, inter alia, further information on the Share
Consolidation, to be despatched to the Shareholders. A further announcement will
be made when the expected timetable is available.

business on the Record Date:
(i)

In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date, the


Shareholders must lodge any transfer of the Shares (with the relevant share

Shareholders will not be transferable. There will not be any trading in nil-paid
entitlements on the Stock Exchange and the Qualifying Shareholders will not be
entitled to subscribe for any Offer Shares in excess of their respective assured
entitlements. In the view that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given equal and
fair opportunities to participate in the Company's future development and thereby
entitling to subscribe for his/her respective Offer Shares without discrimination at
the same price at an attractive discount to the Share price as at the Latest Trading
Date in proportion to his/her existing shareholding of the Company, the Directors

extra administration work to consider the allocation basis to accommodate any
Offer Shares not validly applied for by the Shareholders in the event that the Open
Otler is under-subscribed.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders


lf, at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder's registered address
and correspondence address on the register of members of the Company is in a
place outside Hong Kong, that Shareholder may not be eligible to take part in the
Open Offer as the Prospectus Documents are not expected to be registered and/or
filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong
Kong. The Board will make enquiries to its lawyers as to whether the issue of Offer
Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities
legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant
regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing
Rules. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be
necessary or expedient not to offer Offer Shares Lo such Overseas Shareholders, the
Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Accordingly, the
Open Offer will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The results of the
enquiries and the basis of exclusion of Overseas Shareholders will be disclosed in
the Prospectus.
The Company will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders
and (ii) the Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus, for information only, to

Footnote 4 7
WARNING OF THE RISK OF DEALING IN THE SHARES
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the
Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become
unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set
out in the sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement"
above). Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise
extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt a bout
their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
Shareholders should note that the Shares will be dealt in on an ex-entitlement
basis commencing from 2 April 2007 and that dealing in Shares will take place
while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain
unfulfilled. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date
on which all conditions to which the Open Offer is subject are fulfilled (which
is expected to be on 3 May 2007), will accordingly bear the risk that the Open
Offer cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholder or
other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares, who is in any doubt
about his/her/it'> position, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional
adviser.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief and having made all
reasonable enquiries, the Underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners
are third parties independent of and not connected with each other, the Company and its
connected persons.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS


The principal activities of the Group are manufacturing and trading of electrical
equipment, provision of electrical engineering and contracting services, securities
trading, and leasing and management of cruise.
The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$140
million (net of expenses of approximately HK$4 million). The Board intends to
apply the net proceeds as to approximately HK$140 million towards the Acquisition.
The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer of approximately HK$4 million,
will be borne by the Company. The Board has considered various fund raising
methods apart from the Open Offer, including banking finance and issue of
convertible securities, and concludes that the Open Offer is in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying
Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital
base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their
proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future
development of the Company should they wish to do so. However, those Qualifying
Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled
should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE LAST TWELVE


MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company did not have any capital raising activities in the last twelve months
immediately before the date of this announcement.

(4)

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME


The Board proposes to change the Company name from "Massive Resources
International Corporation Limited" to "Neptune Group Limited" to reflect the
Company's expansion plans into Macau as the Company owns a passage vessel
with gaming facilities called "Neptune", and as such the Directors believe that the
Change of Company Name would be appropriate. Upon the change of name becoming
effective, the Company will adopt "rEI ~ llru :ti. [l~ 0 PJ " as its new Chinese
name. The Change of Company Name is subject to, among other things, the
fo1lowings:
(i)

the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the


Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

(ii)

the granting of the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong


for the Change of Company Name.

25

SJ001884
Plaintiff Ex. 1102 00708

Footnote 4 7
The effective date of the Change of Company Name will be the date on which the
new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on the regi stcr
in place of the existing name. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming
effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the current name of the
Company will continue to be evidence of title of shares in the Company and will
continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights
of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company
Name. Once the Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share
certificates thereafter will be in the new name and the securities of the Company
will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.
A further announcement will be made when appropriate to inform Shareholders the
effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of
the Shares.
EXPECTED TIMET ABLE
All times stated in this announcement refer to Hong Kong times. The expected
timetable for the Share Consolidation and the Open Offer set out below is indicative
only and it has been prepared on the assumption that the Acquisition and the Share
Consolidation will be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM. The expected
timetable is subject to change, and any such change will be announced by the
Company as and when appropriate.
