Dore Entertainment investors have made another effort to draw public attention, urging the Macau government to address the theft case.

In a press conference, attendees along with Macau lawmaker Pereira Coutinho has estimated about 70 investor’s deposits amounting to approximately HKD700 million have been compromised during Dore’s theft.

“The background of the investors is diverse. Some of them are housewives, others are engineers, architects, others work in casinos,” said Coutinho. “Some signed a contract with a certain VIP room, others made bank transfers and only have the proof of the transfer, others paid in cash and received a receipt from a VIP room.”

Coutinho blamed the incomplete gaming regulations and for not explicitly defining the legal identities of those involved, stressing that the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) cannot turn its back on the case as it is the one that grant licenses to casino operators.
