In 2010, Sands fired Steve Jacobs, then the CEO of its Sands China subsidiary, for what Adelson described as breaking company policy and pursuing unauthorized deals. Jacobs later retaliated, suing Sands for breach of contract and alleging he was let go after refusing orders from Adelson to break the law. He has since accused the Sands of promoting prostitution, working with mafia figures, bullying banks and potentially violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by putting a government official on its payroll. Jacobs is reportedly seeking roughly $100 million in damages.
