[Translated from Vietnamese, please excuse awkward grammar] 

Ho Tram Project: Coalition of who has money, who has the right and suspects

An Asian family's powerful mafia involved in China, a former Prime Minister of Canada and a development company resorts headquartered in Vancouver have in common?

The answer is a pristine beach in the South China Sea, served as a shelter for the American Expeditionary Force in the war against communism and later at the "first place" for the "boat people" Vietnam is trying to run away from their homeland.

US $ 4.2 billion project is called the Ho Tram Project brings together: former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, the Group ACDL (Asian Coast Development Ltd - Company Asian Coast Development), based at the city of Vancouver, and Pansy Ho, his daughter Stanley Ho, the casino king of Asia, who had been the intelligence agencies of Canada, Australia and the United States to the so involved with the Chinese organized crime .

In the past week it was announced that the ACDL Group was officially allowed to build a casino (casino) as "Las Vegas style" for the first time in Vietnam.

ACDL has chosen to partner MGM Mirage in casino management in Ho Tram.

Pansy Ho is a key figure in MGM Mirage and is also a joint venture partner in the casino-style operations in the Asian giant.

April 9 last, Mr. Jean Chrétien, a politician of the "old guard" of Canada met with Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in Hanoi to reaffirm his support and commitment ACDL in Ho Tram Strip project.

This meeting took place less than two weeks after the inspection agency rules casino in New Jersey (USA) asserts that Pansy Ho is a partner for MGM Mirage irrelevant because so dependent on his father for financial Key. The agency has observed the activities of MGM in Atlantic City.

"When those who have money, who have the right and the suspect together to build a casino is worth noting that" an experienced expert in the analysis of organized crime say that with The Asian Pacific Post .

He noted that Pansy Ho had applied to open a casino in Vancouver under Glen Clark, Premier of British Columbia do. After you have similar objections from the analysis of organized crime, Asian, this application has been withdrawn.

Unlike in British Columbia, where the application for opening casinos and the investigation involved the incident was kept secret, in New Jersey executive authorities publish their findings, showing their patriarch Ho for the criminal gangs "operate and thrive" in their casinos in Macau.

And to show that his daughter Pansy Ho is dependent on him financially and lies within his influence.

Their suspicions led MGM Mirage to agree to sell its stake in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa - one of the top casinos in (city) Atlantic City - rather than abandon the lucrative gambling in Macau, where they have a joint venture with Stanley Ho's daughter.

According to the report of the inspection casinos, MGM Mirage has simply replaced by Stanley Ho Pansy Ho when they realize that they will not be granted license to operate in New Jersey if they have contact with Stanley Ho.

Investigating authorities in New Jersey said that 90 percent of the money spent in Pansy Ho joint venture with MGM Mirage portion from her father.

Pansy Ho had no prior casino experience and continues to hold leadership positions in the company of his father, according to the report. Last year, she said that her work is not related to her father.

MGM Mirage has strong protective Pansy Ho, and in a recorded statement that she was never accused of doing anything wrong.

"The inspection casinos in places we know this activity and provided the correct information in the inspection team New Jersey. All of them either conclude that the relationship between our company and Pansy Ho in the legal framework, or is concluded that further investigation is not necessary.MGM Mirage to build ties with Pansy Ho investments for the purpose of ensuring that the highest standards are met, the law has been effective compliance, and adverse effects are prevented. We have had a working relationship with positive Pansy Ho and have an operating record at MGM Grand Macau perfect ", the company claims. 
In Hong Kong, Stanley Ho has once again forced to say that there is no "base" to say he had contact with Tam Macau Association or organized crime.

The charges against the billionaire "clean-shaven dressing up" is not new.

In 2004, in a report on its two Stanley Ho, reported the Asian Pacific Post has given the details of his relationship with the casino king has friends in high almost everywhere in the world. In Canada he was greeted seduce and has received a medal from the likes of Jean Chrétien, Brian Mulroney and many heads of British Columbia. Former President Bill Clinton, President Joseph Estrada was ousted from the Philippines, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, China tycoon Jiang Zemin's just a number in the phonebook name of Stanley Ho.

Stanley Ho's former boss at the Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver and was described as the ugliest mansion at the entrance to Stanley Park world famous. The intelligence data - that Stanley Ho vehemently denies - talk that the operation of the gambling king is closely related to Asian organized crime. An RCMP document [1] titled "Asian Organized Crime Roster" (List of organized crime in Asia) lists the name of his boss Tam Association and a similar report to the American placed Stanley Ho list of people who need to keep track.

But all relationships between Stanley Ho and suspected criminals are unproven. So Ho and his family can continue to build a global empire with little obstruction and a lot of influence.

A source - research group of organized crime in Asia - the Asian Pacific Post said that Stanley Ho and his relationship appeared in numerous intelligence documents. "Certainly politicians here knows this, but he still has unfettered access," the source said, adding that the issue has been brought to the table in the Parliament of Canada.

In a scandal involving him occurred in the Philippines and caused the stock market crash this country, ho Manila newspaper ads to defend himself against allegations that he colluded with the organization crime. The accusation comes from the data records of the Government of Canada. In those ads, Ho noted his "significant investment" in his Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. "I travel comfortable and welcome in these places, including Vancouver, where in 1997 I had the pleasure to welcome a delegation to attend the APEC meeting in my hotel Sutton Place, to the United States, the I had met President Clinton. " At that time, they had many names in the list of Canadian intelligence, including the records of the Office of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS Canadian Security Intelligence Service =).

In a report written for the United States Department of Justice, Philip Stanley Ho Baridon listed on the list of 27 people involved in organized crime in Asia and the United States government is being tracked. Their names are removed away after his lawyer to work with the Ministry of Justice.

Stanley Ho also failed in Australia because there are so many reports of Australian intelligence agencies in the past and his relationships. According to a China expert at Queensland, Australia Ho is not considered as a "friendly country". He did not obtain a license to operate in Australia.

Council license to open a casino in New South Wales (now inactive) with a report of Stanley Ho is stamped "not published". This regional authorities that Stanley Ho "is not eligible to be allowed to open casinos."
