18 Nov 2024 BIT Mining Ltd. (vormals 500.com)BIT Mining (formerly 500.com): USD 10m for bribing Japanese officials €9.48m
The company entered into a three-year DPA; under the guidelines USD 54 million would have been appropriate, but because of a demonstrated inability to pay a penalty of USD 10 million was agreed, of which up to USD 4 million is credited against the SEC civil penalty. From 2017 to 2019 the company, then trading as 500.com, agreed to pay about USD 1.9 million to consultants, intended to reach Japanese officials as cash, travel, entertainment and gifts, in order to win an integrated resort bid in Japan; the payments were booked as consultancy fees under sham contracts. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment.
Anyone bidding for state concessions abroad must check consultancy and intermediary agreements for genuine services and for where the money goes.
