Bankrupt a casino? How can You bankrupt a casino? He managed to bankrupt, what is basically a scam, and still calls himself a businessman.

He did it 6 times, not 1.

The answer is corruption, skimming from the top, and using company assets as if they were his.

Sounds familiar

I suppose he also made lots of money from his bankruptcies.

Capitalism

Casinos are not "basically a scam" they are literally a scam on paper.
