Disgraced gambling giant Crown used its history of egregious law-breaking to argue down the third-largest corporate fine in Australian history.
New figures reveal “high-risk customers” — some with known links to criminal organisations — brought $2.3 billion in revenue through the doors as Crown wooed them with private jets and rounds of golf.
Last week, the Federal Court ordered the gambling giant to pay $450 million for at least 546 breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws between 2016 and 2022, an action brought by financial crimes agency AUSTRAC.
