6. The Iraqis pretty much shut down Sheldon Adelson's casino

through messing with its computers.

I have been praying they would hit Mar-A-Lago hard, so that no credit card payments would go through, no reservations would be registered, no supplies could be ordered, no telephone/computer services would be operative--the full Monty.

They need to hit what he loves most--not his wife or children, but his pocketbook

-------------
In the fall of 2013, Adelson made comments that angered Iran. The casino tycoon suggested that the US could send an immediate message in response to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions.

The billionaire opined the US should go out in the desert and detonate some sort of massive explosive weapon “that doesn’t hurt a soul.”
....
Roughly four months after Adelson angered the ayatollah in 2013, Las Vegas Sands’s computer network was the victim of a cyber-attack. Customer data, including credit card information, Social Security numbers, and driver’s licenses were all compromised.
