In 2012, Sanum and Lao Holdings, an Aruba-based company created to hold the investors’ interests in Sanum, accused Laos of trying to force them out of the country after Savan Vegas had become successful.

Alongside the recovery of NZ$11.5 million, the DIA also took action against the class 4 gambling society One Foundation.
