SEOUL: A former South Korean company boss who says he gambled away 30 billion won ( US$23.5 million) in three years is suing a casino for allegedly fuelling his addiction.
The man identified only as Chung, 67, is appealing a court ruling last November which ordered the Kangwon Land casino to pay him 2.8 billion won in damages.
Chung says this is not enough since between 2003 and 2006 he lost 30 billion won at the casino – the country’s only one authorized to admit Koreans under strict gaming laws.
The former head of a leather products company claims the government-run casino turned a blind eye to him making bets above the legitimate limit.

Interesting enough. Will it happen in our BolehLand?. Isn’t gaming a crime here, more so Malaysia is an `Islamic’ nation. Can one benefit from a crime one committed? maybe yse, maybe no. Depend on how adroitly is ones lawyer.
