the casino moved money to other gamblers from his account
Wang Xi filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that the casino moved money to other gamblers from his account. Mr. Wang said that he never gave the casino permission to make the transactions.
Signature 'copied and pasted'
Documents showed that between October and December 2015, Wang had deposited US$6.5m (S$9.1m) into an account at Marina Bay Sands.
The money was then sent to other guests at the resort via 22 separate transfers. Wang has maintained that these transactions were unlawful, although no further information as to how much was sent to each person and who they were was made public.
the originals have since been shredded by the resort
While Marina Bay Sands provided evidence that the transfers had all been authorized via documents from Macau, Wang said that his signature had been copied and pasted. The originals have since been shredded by the resort for supposed confidentiality reasons.
Non-admission of liability
According to the lawsuit, the casino 'failed to verify whether the Disputed Authorization Letters were, in fact, signed by the plaintiff before effecting the disputed transactions.'

The friend also confirmed that Wang will still be able to frequent the casino, as long as he adheres to their internal policies.
