Imperial Pacific International has settled the lawsuit filed against the company by a former employee.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI senior judge Alex R. Munson disclosed yesterday that Imperial Pacific and Danny Ewing have entered an \u201cirrevocable settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Munson presided over a telephonic conference regarding the settlement.<\/p>\n
Attorney William Fitzgerald appeared with Ewing, a former Best Sunshine International Ltd.\u2019s casino vice president of table games. Imperial Pacific counsel George Hasselback and representatives of Imperial were also present.<\/p>\n
Hasselback earlier informed the court that his client, Imperial Pacific, is willing to settle with Ewing.<\/p>\n
In his lawsuit, Ewing alleged that the casino management was engaging in illegal practices, among other things, when it allowed a customer to deposit $400,000 with the casino\u2019s cashier without the required Anti-Money Laundering identification. <\/p>\n
Imperial Pacific operates Best Sunshine Live, a casino and training platform, training casino workers to service its permanent casino, now being built in Garapan.<\/p>\n
Ewing sued Imperial Pacific for wrongful termination, wrongful failure to hire, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He demanded payment of unspecified amount of damages.<\/p>\n
Imperial Pacific has denied the allegations. Hasselback has asserted that the federal court lacks jurisdiction over the claims contained in the lawsuit. <\/p>\n
Hasselback also argued that Ewing\u2019s claims should be barred and\/or limited by his failure to mitigate damages.<\/p>\n
Hasselback said his client denies the allegations that the company failed to implement or enforce an adequate anti-money laundering program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
