MBS Ban over Poaching Suspicions
In an August LinkedIn post, MacDonald revealed that Marina Bay Sands had issued him a persona non grata notice banning him from the establishment's premises, including its hotel, mall, convention center, and casino.
The management imposed the ban after suspecting him of poaching customers and staff during multiple visits in late July, an unusual measure according to gaming industry experts.
At the time, MacDonald dismissed the claims, insisting that his visits were entirely social and unrelated to business.
Despite the controversial ban, MacDonald's resignation may spark interest from major operators, especially in Macau, where companies are adjusting strategies due to regulatory changes and potential stricter oversight.
