Echoes of Clinton-era Scandal in a Las Vegas Sands Email

by Matt Isaacs and Lowell Bergman, July 16

A decade ago gambling magnate and leading Republican donor Sheldon Adelson 
looked at a desolate spit of land in Macau and imagined a glittering strip 
of casinos, hotels and malls.

Where competitors saw obstacles, including Macau's hostility to outsiders 
and historic links to Chinese organized crime, Adelson envisaged a chance to 
make billions.

This is a fascinating story that looks into big money, corruption, 
government, and how Chinese organized crime works. Adelson isn't just any 
big donor...
