IAG DEC 2022年12月 亞博匯 144 10 YEARS AGO Ultimately, IAG wrote, it was these efforts from the sparring industry giants that had attracted the attention of officials and brought both under risk of FCPA sanctions. Enforcement action would eventually be dropped although neither Mr Wynn nor Mr Okada can claim any sort of victory – the former forced to step down as Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO in2018due to sexual assault allegations and the latter ousted from Universal Entertainment Corp on allegations of fraud. Ironically, while Mr Okada’s Philippines dream became a reality with the December 2016 launch of Okada Manila, he has not been able to enjoy it since falling foul of the company he founded. Nor was he party to a 2018 settlement agreement between Wynn Resorts, Aruze USA and Universal Entertainment Corp that saw Universal paid US$2.5 billion in respect to the 20% Wynn Resorts stake that Wynn had forcibly redeemed from Mr Okada six years earlier. It is under this cloud that Mr Okada has turned the focus of his frustration from Wynn to Universal in recent years, albeit without any more luck than in his previous venture. 儘管永利和岡田都無法宣稱取得任 何勝利，但執法行動最終將被撤銷，原 因是前者因被指控性侵並於2018年被迫 辭去永利渡假村的職務，而岡田和生則 因涉嫌欺詐而被逐出公司。 頗具諷刺意味的是，雖然岡田的菲 律賓夢想隨著2016年12月岡田馬尼拉的 推出而變成現實，但自從他與自己一手 創立的公司發生了衝突之後，他就再沒 可能享受到這個夢想。 他也沒有參與永利渡假村、Aruze USA及環球娛樂公司於2018年達成的和 解協議。根據該協議，環球娛樂支付了 25億美元，買下永利渡假村六年前從岡 田手中強行贖回的20%股權。 正是在這種陰雲籠罩之下，岡田和 生最近將受挫焦點從永利轉向了環球， 儘管沒有之前的冒險，更有運氣之神的 眷顧。
