The nephew of Macau casino icon Stanley Ho has lost his bid to keep details of his pimping trial from the public.
Alan Ho was one of six individuals arrested one year ago and accused of controlling what Macau authorities called the special administrative region’s largest ever illegal prostitution ring. Ho is/was an executive director of the Hotel Lisboa, which is part of the SJM Holdings empire.
The raid also netted some 96 prostitutes working out of 100 rooms at the hotel. The girls each reportedly paid the hotel RMB 150k (US $22,800) per year, and Macau police allege that the setup netted its operators an annual profit of MOP 400m ($50m).
Prostitution is legal in Macau, so long as it’s conducted in a private residence, while public solicitation and organized prostitution are forbidden. Pimping convictions carry sentences of one to five years – up to eight years for particularly egregious cases – while members of criminal organizations can face sentences of up to 10 years.

Is the burgeoning competitive world of eSports going to spill over into our children’s education? It seems more likely than ever as the Norwegian school system enters the fray.
I hated school.
Hated it.
Constantly being told what to do didn’t help, but the actual reason I hated it so much was because it was so boring. The only lesson I enjoyed was physical education, and that was only when we got to play football.
