The Situation

In 2016, an unnamed Chinese national and their accomplice spent eight months on a gambling spree, betting on several high-stakes card games, at Bicycle Casino and Hotel. At times, the bad actor brought in duffle bags full of cash, ultimately cashing in approximately $100 million dollars over the months-long period. Not only were more than $10,000 in chips bought in cash during visits to the casino, but the accomplice’s name was often used in filling out forms—both acts are violations of the law. In 2017, this same casino was raided by authorities under suspicion for money laundering. By 2021, the reported incident in 2016 was settled out of court, and Bicycle Casino and Hotel received a fine of $500,000 and a warning to improve its anti-money laundering protocols.
