WASHINGTON: Wells Fargo & Co., which received $25 billion in taxpayer bailou
t money, is planning a series of corporate junkets to Las Vegas casinos this
month.
Wells Fargo, once among the nation's top writers of subprime mortgages, has
booked 12 nights at the Wynn Las Vegas and its sister hotel, the Encore Las
Vegas beginning Friday, said Wynn spokeswoman Michelle Loosbrock. The hotels
will host the annual conference for company's top mortgage officers.

数据显示，随着中国反腐力度加大，富裕人群开始远离赌场。
曾是葡萄牙殖民地、靠近香港的澳门已是全球最大博彩市场，这在很大程度上归功于中国人对赌博的喜好。一直以来，人们都相信，那些拥有大量财富的政府官员们都想到赌桌旁坐坐。
澳门的增长部分还应归功于被称为“中介(junket)”的一些面向中国富人的旅行社，这种旅行社能帮助赌客绕开中国严格的货币管控，将人民币换成可自由兑换的澳门货币。对于那些想将现金藏在境外的人来说，澳门元能轻而易举地发往外国银行户头。
但近期数据显示，中国国家主席习近平的高调反腐运动已让澳门增长势头出现逆转。
跌幅尤其明显的是VIP业务的营收。VIP业务是指为坐在包间里、出手最阔绰的赌徒提供的服务。
由邓毅梁(Anil Daswani)领导的一个花旗(Citi)分析师团队在一份研究报告中指出：“包括周永康这类政府高官的落马，令众多VIP玩家感到惊慌。”
“目前，反腐运动正在对VIP部门产生持续影响，短期内我们看不到会促成反弹的因素。” |

Thanks to the Tea Party. For them, it's my way or the highway — does that
remind you of your children's temper tantrums? Well, it worked!
Forget the poor, the elderly and the unemployed, while the wealthiest
continue to enjoy their quality of life at the expense of the rest of us.
God help us.

======================================
赌王何鸿燊家族控制的澳门博彩控股公司( SJM Holdings) 于2008年在香港联交所上市
，2010年业绩极其惊人，总收入高达577亿港元，比2009年高出67.8%，其中老虎机业务
(Slot Machines)仅增长16.7%，大众赌桌(Mass Market Table Gaming)业务也仅增长31
.6%，但最惊人的为贵宾博彩业务(VIP Gaming)，增长高达94.1%，在其年报业务回顾中
分析为”反映中国内地以及亚洲经济的蓬勃发展”（which in turn reflected the
buoyant economy in the Mainland and the Asian region as well as increased
liquidity available to junket operators）.

发帖数: 870 | 5 如何洗钱是个有意思的话题，值得探讨
鄙人屌丝一个，和洗钱圈八竿打不着，就常理思维说一下，希望有人指正
先说说什么是洗钱，鄙人以为就是黑钱洗白，能够存入银行，用于投资，购物等正常使
用渠道，很多被抓官员家里动辄查出有上亿现金，就是没法洗白，不敢存入银行。关键
是一要不清不楚的花出去，二要合情合理的收的回来，如果不能马上套现，买的东西要
保值，比如房地产，艺术品
从那些人的角度来看怎么洗钱合理放心呢？
1.单额不能过大，一亿买个茶杯很容易被国安局请喝茶，如果我是某地方银行行长，很
难交代我哪来这么多钱，但是如果我和华谊老板有过命的交情，他买我付钱，通过华谊洗
2.买的不能是纯消费品，比如吃饭，我吃一百，报吃了一万只能帮我逃税，不能帮我洗
黑钱，但是我1百万黑钱现金买房，转手2百万卖了，我两百万所得就洗白了
3.可以现金交易，监管较松，买股票啥的国内不知道啥状况，估计很难提一麻袋钱买吧
，所以不好洗，而且系统监管很严
投资什么行业容易涉黑洗黑钱？
1.房地产，
2.艺术品，大额艺术品前提是我有人帮我买卖，小额价值10万左右的比如各种玉啊啥的
估计可以，而且大多现金交易吧？
3.拍电影，我付演... 阅读全帖 |

The Hartford Seminary has occupied a leading position among theological
faculties around the nation in accommodating Islam, particularly in its
radical forms, since appointing its first Muslim faculty member more than
twenty years ago. Today, that accommodation extends to the murderous regime
of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Hartford maintains a highly questionable relationship with an Islamic
religious and Arabic-language school, the Al-Fatiha Islamic Academy in

Dennis Prager thinks Americans are in danger of forgetting their core
principles, so he’s out to remind them what’s important.
“American values are the greatest single value system that has ever been
devised,” nationally syndicated radio host and columnist Prager told
Newsmax.TV.
In his new book, “Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values
to Triumph,” Prager argues the case for what he says are the three main

Too many social justice protesters are busy throwing shade, rocks, bottles,
