Chapter 699 Agent

Wang Dong and Luo Qing did not go to the casino, but squatted outside the casino.

According to the information provided by Nicholas, that is, the information obtained from the tablet computer in Bisos, there are several private banks in Las Vegas related to him, but after cross-comparison, Nicholas has locked up a casino, that is, only this casino and all the banks have business dealings.

Lucky Star Grand Casino.

It's a casino that's only recently emerged, and it's linked to gangsters.

Nicholas had very limited information, but one thing was clear: Lucky Star was created by a gang from Los Angeles.

For the first few years, the gang mainly operated underground casinos.

Underground casinos in Las Vegas?

Of course there is, and there are a lot of them.

Officially operated casinos are subject to the rules of the gambling industry guilds, so there are many restrictions that are apparently absent from underground casinos.

In addition, underground casinos have been a major channel for money laundering.

After the growth and growth, these gangsters from Los Angeles clashed with the local snakes in Las Vegas, that is, the major casinos.

The gangster war lasted for several years and finally ended in reconciliation.

Because the casualties are so heavy, reconciliation is the only way for both sides.

Of course, as a condition for the settlement, the Los Angeles mob opened the Lucky Star Casino in Las Vegas and became a board member of the gambling industry guild.

After several years of development, Lucky Star Ran Yan has become the largest casino in Las Vegas.

With past connections, when other casinos are struggling to develop, only Lucky Star has been able to maintain huge profits.

If this trend continues, Lucky Star seems to have the momentum to swallow up other casinos.

In addition, Nicholas provided a piece of intelligence.

The owner of the Lucky Star casino, the Los Angeles gangster, has close ties with Juarez's drug lords and controls the Los Angeles drug network.

Also, Lucky Star Casino has many shareholders, and the Los Angeles Gangs are just one of them.

There is every reason to believe that Bissos is also a shareholder of the Lucky Star Casino.

It is clear that Bissos has been laundering money through the Lucky Star casino all along, and the whereabouts of a large part of the money are a mystery.

What's more, the fact that Lucky Star Casino was able to appear is an outlier in itself.

Why?

Over the past few decades, dozens of new casinos have been added to Las Vegas, but all of them are under the control of the board of directors of the gaming guilds, which are members of a board of directors, so the gaming guilds in Las Vegas have remained unchanged in the past few decades.

In other words, even if there is a new casino, the owner behind it is also a director of the gambling industry guild.

It's almost impossible for an outsider to open a casino in Las Vegas and run a casino, at least not before Lucky Star.

So, are the Los Angeles gangs really that powerful?

Nicholas has been trying to gather intelligence, but he has not found much.

The only thing that is certain is that in the 7-year-long gangster war, the Los Angeles gangsters have finally earned the respect of all the big casino owners in Las Vegas.

Obviously, this is enough to prove that the Los Angeles gang is extremely powerful.

The problem is that in Los Angeles, gangster-like underground societies have been battered in the past few years, and many of them have long since disappeared.

What's more, Los Angeles is much larger than Las Vegas.

Although the gambling industry is frighteningly profitable, it certainly can't compete with drug trafficking, so you may not be able to make much money by entering Las Vegas.

In other words, if the Los Angeles gangs are really strong enough, why go to Las Vegas?

Control the underground community in Los Angeles, control the huge drug trafficking network, and rely on the huge market of tens of millions of people, and make absolutely no less money than opening a casino.

It can be seen that the Los Angeles gangsters go to Las Vegas not necessarily to make money.

In addition, the Los Angeles gangs are not necessarily as powerful as they are rumored.

There is only one possibility, then, that the Los Angeles gang came to Las Vegas to open a casino, perhaps not of their own volition, and with strong support.

Whose support?

Is there a drug lord like Bissos?

There is no Lucky Star casino run by the Los Angeles gangsters, and Bissos is also laundering money in Las Vegas.

In addition, after the establishment of the Lucky Star Casino, Bisos likewise laundered money through other casinos.

It can be seen that with or without the Los Angeles gang, it has no effect on the money laundering of Bissos in Las Vegas, at least not decisively.

So why did Bisos support the Los Angeles gangster to open a casino in Las Vegas?

You know, if you let the Los Angeles gang go big, it may not be good for Bissos.

Why?

When the time comes, everything will have to rely on the Los Angeles gangsters, and what will Bissos rely on to bargain?

In addition, Bissos does not have such a strong influence in the underground world of the United States.

From this, it can be concluded that it is not actually Bissos who supports the Los Angeles gang.

Also, the status of the Los Angeles gangsters, in fact, is similar to that of Bissos, they are all serving a powerful force, or the boss behind the scenes.

Of course, the division of labor is different.

Bissos makes an amazing profit from drug trafficking to finance this behind-the-scenes boss.

The Los Angeles gangsters have opened the Lucky Star casino and the vast network of connections they have built up to handle the unsolicited funds for the boss behind the scenes.

So, who has that much ability?

You know, even the most powerful gangsters won't be able to defeat the shareholders of the Las Vegas Gaming Industry Guild, because those guys are gangsters themselves.

Back then, Las Vegas was founded by a group of gangsters from the East Coast.

It's not wrong to say it's a mafia.

In the United States, there is only one kind of person who has this ability.

What the?

Intelligence!

In fact, this is the only reasonable explanation.

Why?

Under U.S. law, intelligence agencies like the CIA have no jurisdiction and cannot carry out intelligence work in the United States.

To operate in the United States, it is up to federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI.

To put it simply, as long as intelligence agencies such as the CIA operate in the United States, they are themselves illegal, and they could turn into scandals at any time.

Then, there is a need for some spokesperson.

Obviously, since it is illegal, what does it have to do with gangsters and drug dealers to endorse?

In fact, intelligence agencies such as the CIA have been doing this for a long time, but before that they mainly operated abroad.

If money laundering is involved and there is a need to transfer funds to the country, then an agent must be arranged in the country.

It can be seen that it is in this context that emerging forces like the Lucky Star Casino have emerged, which have made Las Vegas a miasma.
