"There is an investigation that has gone on in a number of jurisdictions with regard to the MGM license in those jurisdictions, as a result of what New Jersey required them to do. I would think that that would send a message to an awful lot of licensees or investors who want to get involved overseas, whether it’s in Macau or it’s in Singapore, it’s in Australia, it doesn’t matter where, or who you do business with. That’s extremely important to the integrity of our licensees. "
