A jury has ruled against Las Vegas Sands Corporation, awarding a Hong Kong businessman $43.8 million.

Richard Suen said the company, which is run by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, owes him up to $100 million for helping it secure a lucrative gambling license in Macau. Suen said he was hired by Las Vegas Sands to curry favor with the Chinese government and was successful.

Las Vegas Sands has two resorts in the Chinese enclave.
