Sheldon Adelson’s anti-online gambling hypocrisy exposed in hilarious new video
The rank hypocrisy of Sheldon Adelson’s war against online gambling has been further exposed in a hilarious new video.
The video, a teaser for the new TheTimJamesShow.com (episode 1 of which will debut on August 15), takes aim at the demonstrably false claims made by the Las Vegas Sands chairman and his Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling (CSIG) regarding online gambling’s alleged inability to prevent access by underage gamblers.
Adelson’s hypocrisy on this issue was already well established given the number of times his brick-and-mortar casino properties have been fined for allowing underage patrons access to gambling and alcohol.
But James’ video offers further proof by using hidden camera footage of not one but two underage associates gaining access to Sands’ Las Vegas properties the Venetian and Palazzo, where they buy chips, gamble, cash out their winnings and enjoy a cocktail or twelve.
