Sheldon Adelson ended the suspense on Tuesday night by deciding to forgo another trip to the witness stand in the breach of contract case brought by former Las Vegas Sands Corp. consultant Richard Suen.
For several days, company attorneys had hinted that the chairman and CEO might opt for another crack at persuading the jurors that Suen deserved nothing for his work in trying to win a Macau gaming license more than a decade ago. Suen, on the other hand, contends he had mapped out a winning strategy that is worth $328 million, based a $5 million success fee plus 2 percent of Sands’s net profits in Macau.
