One of “The Smartest Guys NOT in the Room” makes Boston debut

By

Caesars CEO Gary Loveman, the man who was paid $40 million in one year for luring millions of Americans to lose their money during these difficult economic times, spoke before Boston College’s Chief Executives’ Club of Boston yesterday. Caesars is lobbying to build an East Boston casino at Suffolk Downs.

“The wolves are here,’’ deadpanned Loveman…

“Wolves” is one way to describe super rich casino operators like Loveman. Watch below and learn why the “The Smartest Guys NOT in the Room” is another:

  1. How is it that if a guy on the street takes your money its a scam, but if a rich guy takes your money in the same manner, its entertainment?
    Aren’t the shell games just as entertaining?

  3. “Across the world’’ casino gambling is “becoming increasingly mundane,’’ said Loveman, who wants to build a gambling resort at Suffolk Downs in East Boston. “Pick your favorite cosmopolitan destination or your vision of a very conservative US jurisdiction, and in every instance casinos have been around, they’ve operated for a long time, and they have become entirely noncontroversial in the context of people’s lives and their communities.’’

    Or… according to the testimony of Former Ledyard, CT town planner Elaine Bono

    “Casinos attract drugs and prostitution. I witnessed all of these ill first hand in CT. In the late 90’s the Ledyard tax collector, an upstanding middle-aged woman, embezzled $300,000 from the town’s coffers and lost it all at the slots before she was caught. Embezzlements happened in the Sprague town hall, the Stonington town hall, a local auto dealer, and a local lawyer’s office. With a casino nearby, it became too convenient for some people to go daily before or after work (sometimes both) to gamble away their (and sometimes other people’s) money.”

    • Mundane, [muhn-DEYN], adjective.

      Synonyms: banal, common, unimaginative, ordinary.
      Antonyms: wonderful, heavenly, extraordinary.

  4. and NECN failed to counter any of Loveman’s comments!

    Did they even mention that this Suffolk Downs Folly will cost Massachusetts’ taxpayers + $500 MILLION?

    Harrah’s (now Caesars) determined that 90% of their profits came from 10% of their patrons.

    That’s ADDICTION.

    The video is worth watching just to see the great showman Gary Loveman is that he can spew such manure and maintain a straight face! Truly astounding performance.

    Loveman snows Boston, NECN lets him
