What idiot does not make the other side sign a contract before he/she provides any service? Richard Suen is not a smart businessman. He deserves to lose.

Cynical Observer wrote on April 18, 2008 05:30 PM: Here in the US, the jury will ultimately have to decide if the plaintiff rendered any services to Sands, and if yes, what was their value. These "no written contract" situations are a huge head ache because there is no way for the party with the money (Sands) to put a cap on their potential liability for payment of "service fees".

That's why I hope Sands wins this one. If you want a big fee, get a written contract. No written contract, no fee.

However, on a more mysterious level, business in China is done on a more ad hoc basis, so the interesting question will be whether this plaintiff is simply a Chinese shake down artist, or someone with serious influence which will lead to Sands Macao having "difficulties" in their continuing operations.

I once saw a Chinese bank doing business here in USA write off a $3 Million loan, because the two borrowers were sons of a high ranking General in the Red Army.
While the bank was on solid ground to collect in the USA, their Chinese board of directors members "decided to avoid difficulties".

If Sheldon Adelson can "avoid difficulties" in Macao, God bless him.

Just ask any building contractor about getting the shaft from Adelson. how do you think he became the worlds 12th richest man.

All of it!

Can't take it with you when you go.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into heaven.

Dave wrote on April 18, 2008 01:07 PM: Hardin said the pain medication was why Adelson and Weidner gave conflicting comments about Suen in their depositions.

Any excuse to get out of paying your obligations. Tantamount to saying 'I didn't realize that was illegal.'

Most wealthy folks get rich by jewing others out of their rightfull share. How do you think that phrase came to be?

Jackie Chan wrote on April 18, 2008 10:03 AM: Suen, you eat everything. You come here no more!!

Come on Suen, 2% of profits. Who the heck would make a deal like that to you. China, with the publicity from the LVRJ, was a top story in the papers for years at the turn of the century. Before you claim what you do, this China deal was not an "Ancient Chinese Secret" to begin with.

There is NO excuse for this and the cops who pulled the trigger needs to fired, jailed and given the death penalty. Further as companies owners of store fronts, and medical facilities, Henderson police are no longer welcome and will be turned away.

This murder cannot be swept under the rug as the inquest has done. WE will never forget or forgive this horrable police action. There is NO excuse for the murder of female that was tasered to the ground with her teeth gringing and her body shaking, then being shot DEAD at point blank range.. Henderson police MUST PAY..
