1:37AM Las Vegas Sands responds to various media headlines and press reports that have suggested that the co violated any of the anti-bribery provisions ( LVS) 51.31 : Co responds back at various media headlines and press reports that have suggested that the company violated any of the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The co states "it did not report any violations of the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA and it said news reports stating otherwise, such as the headline in recent New York Times which described the matter by saying 'Casino Says it Likely Cheated,' are both inflammatory and defamatory."

The company said it will vigorously defend itself against that type of uninformed and misleading reporting. In the company's 10-K disclosure filed last Friday co states "it made no such statement and insists no violations of the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA have occurred. Instead, the company said that in its preliminary findings the company's Audit Committee had advised that there were "likely violations" of the books and records and internal controls provisions (i.e. "accounting provisions") of the FCPA." They further state a potential violation of the accounting provisions could range anywhere from a single transaction recorded incorrectly to other errors in the accounting records.

Additionally, co states its independent auditors issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Those financial statements also included the disclosure that any violations of the accounting provisions have not had a material impact on the financial statements of the company and did not warrant any restatement of its past financial statements.
