A Chinese former gambler at Marina Bay Sands Pte is suing the Singapore-based casino operator to recover S$9.1 million ($6.6 million) he claims was transferred to other casino patrons without his authorization.
Wang Xi discovered in July that the money was missing as a result of 22 transfers allegedly made from his casino deposit accounts between October and December of 2015, according to a Sept. 26 statement of claim filed in the High Court in Singapore. Wang doesn’t know the people who allegedly received the money, the claim said.
