IAG APR 2021年4月 亞博匯 38 COVER STORY who will join the board and what sort of processes is the regulator going to apply to ensure suitability, given the suggestion it might have applied a light touch in the past? And who wants to go through that? So I think there is a possibility that the findings might be so material that Crown can’t satisfy suitability, which raises the risk of losing their license. But the government is so wedded to those revenue streams that it would be a big call to tell Crown they were out and give the license to someone else. “Ultimately, what’s done is done and even if it can be proved there was money laundering they’ll probably get a massive fine and move on. I think that’s the only way you can deal with it.” The NSW Bergin Inquiry found that Crown’s largest shareholder, James Packer, had asserted undue influence on the Board. 新州《Bergin Inquiry》認為皇冠最大的股東James Packer對董事會會產生不當影響。 意。 「現在的問題是:他們是否真的能力糾正這些皇家委員會調 查結束時將會發現的那些缺陷和不足?」 「我看到的是這些缺陷是如此的根深蒂固,除非包括 Coonan在內的每個人都徹底改變,否則實際上是不可能的。那麼 問題就是:誰將加入董事會,以及考慮到監管機構過去可能採取 的溫和措施,它會採取何種程序以確保這種適格性?還用我一一 列舉嗎?所以,我認為有一種可能性是,調查可能會發現一些實質 性的結果以至於皇冠無法滿足其適格性,這就增加了失去牌照的 風險。但政府是如此執著於這些收入,如果讓他們告訴皇冠他們 已經出局並將把牌照假手他人,將是一個巨大的挑戰。」 「最終,可能該做的都做了。然後即使被證明存在洗錢活動, 他們也就可能會被處以巨額罰款,然後就這樣過去了。我認為這 是處理此事的唯一方法。」
