The much lauded launch of Casinoleaks-Macau.com in February, in which the site promised to reveal corruption and organised crime within the Macau gaming industry, has closed down, with no explanation given.
On its website is the information: “Casinoleaks-Macau.com is shutting down. Thank you for your interest”.
The site was supposed to be financed and authorized by a major US trade union.
The project was led by Jeff Fiedler, a four-term member of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC).
The website also featured essays and profiles on major VIP room and junket operators, and about VIP gaming in Macau.
In a recent interview with a Macau newspaper, Jeff Fiedler said concerning the reaction from gaming operators, triads and Macau gaming authorities, he expected “they initially might be angry.”
He also is said to have “started to prove that the Macau gaming industry is hardly watertight.”
