Yup, and it will happen again and again and again... Japan Inc. has made an art form out of justifying the means because it supposedly lead to positive ends, and rationalizing every potential form of fraud and graft. Very sad for a country once wolrd-renowned for its sense of honor.

Bribery in the international gambling industry? I'm shocked, I tell you - shocked!

US regulators must be closing in on Wynn, so he tossed Okada under the bus.

JapanGal: I thought Koreans owned all Pachinko...

Okada is Zainichi Korean. Of the 24 Japanese in Forbe`s rich list back in 2005, no less than 11 were of Korean extraction, dominant in Pachinko and consumer finance (AIFUL, Takefuji, Acom, Promise, Maruhan, Sankyo)
