Pressed on whether any other executive had seen 2015 media articles detailing the People’s Republic’s crackdown on international casinos, Alexander said other execs of the company, including one board member, were aware of the potential dangers that ultimately led to arresting of the 19 employees of the company. He called it a ‘failure of information’ flow upwards.
Alexander also demonstrated ignorance when asked if the company’s management had told its employees to tell Chinese authorities that they were not visiting China for work. He further claimed that former managing director Rowan Craigie had assured the board that the company’s Chinese operations were in accordance with the local law.
