TUKWILA, Wash. — The State Gambling Commission says a couple was arrested and the Macau Casino’s general manager had his gambling license suspended amid suspicions of money laundering and providing loans to gambling addicts.
The News Tribune reports a 45-year-old employee and her 27-year-old boyfriend are charged with laundering about $1.5 million through the casino and loan-sharking $300,000 to gambling addicts.
Investigators are determining the source of the $1.5 million, but believe the general manager knew about it.
The commission says they and the police have received numerous complaints about the casino over the past two years.
