The money laundering case involving Resorts World Las Vegas, centered around illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer, is currently progressing, with Bowyer scheduled for sentencing on February 7, 2025. The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has filed serious complaints against the casino, accusing it of failing to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The allegations include allowing Bowyer and others to gamble millions without proper source-of-funds verification.
Mathew Bowyer, who ran a large illegal sports betting ring, was able to make significant front-money deposits at the casino over a 15-month period, ultimately losing millions. Both Bowyer and his wife, Nicole, who acted as his casino host, face multiple charges. Nicole Bowyer is also under investigation for benefiting financially from her husband’s gambling losses at Resorts World.
Resorts World Las Vegas has expressed its commitment to resolving the compliance issues with the NGCB, but the case is still unfolding.

Vietnam's first LNG power plant to start commercial operations from April, 5 months behind target

HANOI: Vietnam's first power plant using solely liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to start commercial operations from April next year, state media reported on Thursday, five months later than the previous target date.
A test run at the plant, Nhon Trach 3 in the southern province of Dong Nai, will begin in mid-October, reported Cong Thuong, a newspaper of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The nearby Nhon Trach 4 plant is expected to start commercial power generation in July 2025, the report said, two months behind schedule.
Both plants, which have a combined capacity of 1.5 gigawatts (GW), are being developed by PetroVietnam Power Corp. They are the first in a fleet of
13 LNG-fired plants with total capacity of 22.4 GW that Vietnam aims to have by 2030.
PetroVietnam Power said earlier this year that construction of the two plants had faced obstacles, including issues related to a power purchase agreement, land leases, and transmission lines from the plants.
