    I don't mean to be snarky, but what corporate documents is The Sun talking about? I just went on the NYSE website, and there's nothing new posted in terms of Las Vegas Sands' disclosure filings with the SEC. See: http://secfilings.nyse.com/files.php?sym...

    I'm not an Addleson Fan, however if you run a business in a foreigm Country you must be able to work whatever system applies in that region. If there are lax regulations and Politicians or The Mob must be paid off, Oh Well - that sounds a lot like our Congress!
