The Star Sydney is a large entertainment complex in Pyrmont, Sydney, Australia. It used to be called Star City Casino and before that, Sydney Harbour Casino. It is the second biggest casino in Australia, after Crown Melbourne in Melbourne. Among these was Alvin Chau, boss of Macau-based junket Suncity, to whom the casino supplied a credit line of up to AU$266.67 million (US$174 million). That’s despite Australian authorities expressing concerns about Chau’s purported links to organized crime, specifically the 14K triads, as far back as 2017. AUSTRAC brought civil penalty proceedings against the company in November 2022 for alleged breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing laws. Bally’s also made clear that it did not support the Queen’s Wharf deal and wished to keep all of Star’s assets together.
