(Macau).- Las Vegas Sands China chairman, Sheldon Adelson, has fired back against former chief executive Steven Jacobs and his allegations that Adelson personally approved of prostitution taking place at the company’s properties. “It’s so outrageous,” Adelson told Forbes.
He said he morally opposes prostitution and that the clinics he and his wife have founded in Las Vegas and in Israel both aim to support drug addicts, many of them prostitutes.
Jacobs is suing Sands China in a Nevada court alleging that he was wrongfully fired. Adelson said Jacobs is using court documents to publicly embarrass both him and Sands China. “He’s very cunning and [he] has decided to exploit the law concerning libel and defamation to cloak himself.”
