Sheldon Adelson and organized crime ties

"Bribery of public officials, forced prostitution and ties to Chinese organized crime are all part of the allegations leveled against Mr. Adelson. Sounds like something out of a Mario Puzo novel. Except instead of New York or Las Vegas it is China and instead of an Italian American at the center of the story, it is a Jewish one." "It will not look good come the general election in 2016 if the Republican nominee is dependent on funding from a man found to be not only corrupt but directly involved with organized crime."
