In 2000, Watanabe sold his entire stake in the company to Los Angeles-based private equity firm Brentwood Associates, and resigned as CEO and President. [1] Watanabe is alleged to have had alcohol and gambling problems resulting in losing US$204 million to the Rio and Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas in 2007. [3] Harrah's, which owns the two casinos, derived 5.6% of its revenues that year from Watanabe. He has paid $112 million but refused to pay the rest prompting Harrah's to file criminal charges against Watanabe. [4]

That's pretty fucking gangster. If you have that much money that after 112 million you're basically like "fuck you come get the rest" ... although I don't agree with it - that's pretty ballsy.
