      I’m sure he was at one point, then as he began losing money on terrible ideas, because he’s an idiot, he started lashing out into any random crap he could to try and stabilize it. Taking out dozens of foreign loans with inflated numbers, and constantly ending up underwater in those, needing more to further the process, like a debt-based ponzi scheme where no one actually makes any money in the end, not even the banks.

      He managed to bankrupt a casino. They basically print money, yet he managed to run one right out of business.

        And his dad only left him $400 mil which he completely lost through failed ventures and bankruptcies. What a goddamned terrible “business man”. Who the fuck bankrupts multiple casinos? How profoundly bad at business does one have to be to fail so hard over and over again?
