Credited with transforming Macau into the world’s biggest casino centre, he would only lose his monopoly when it was opened after four decades to wider competition including from the US billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s Sands China.

In 2010, after a long investigation, the New Jersey gaming authorities issued a report declaring a link between Ho and the triads and requiring that MGM Mirage Macau (a joint venture with Ho) divest its interest in an Atlantic City casino. https://www.scmp.com/article/708998/triads-thrive-hos-casinos-us-report-says

Stanley Ho is great-grandson of Dutch Jewish businessman Charles Henry Maurice Bosman. Bosman supplied “cheap” Chinese labor from Hong Kong to California… We learn how dreadful that labor was, but no one really talks about how it got to the U.S.. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1089/glr2.2021.0025

About two centuries after the failure of the VOC’s embassy, and once the
Dutch had dominated maritime commerce in Asia, Comprador Bosman came to Hong Kong, at the age of 20, to work for coolie merchant Cornelius
Koopmanschap, 134 a Dutch labor broker who was in the business of importing and exporting cheap Chinese labor. In the 1860s, Koopmanschap lived between California and Hong Kong, and with his connections he was
considered the main contractor and importer of Chinese labor to San
Francisco. 135
The skills of the 24-year-old Charles Bosman, along with the fact that
Cornelius needed to focus on the thriving U.S. market-the Central Pacific
Railroad needed a lot of cheap labor-and spend more time in California, are
most likely key reasons for the transformation of the firm in Hong Kong into Bosman & Co, with the U.S. unit operating under the name Koopmanschap & Co shortly after Mr. Bosman became Dutch Consul, a tenure that allowed him to control and oversee the shipping of labor to Dutch Guiana, in South America.
On February 19, 1863, an act was passed prohibiting the “Coolie Trade” by
American Citizens in American Vessels. 136 The coolie trade was banned, as it was considered a form of slavery, which in itself may have had a significant impact on the business of Mr. Bosman, who moved from Hong Kong to London in the late 1860s or early 1870s, where he established the “Eastern Agency” in 1873.
Left behind were his Chinese mistress Sze Tai, his name-sinicized to 19 (Ho), and five children. Among them was Wai Fook Ho, born in 1863, the
grandfather of Stanley Ho and brother of Sir Robert Hotung, one of Macau’s
greatest philanthropists. Wai Fook Ho had 13 children, one of them the father of Stanley Ho, Ho Sai-kwong (19 ₩*). The Ho clan was wealthy and influential in the colonial Hong Kong period of the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. Stanley’s grandfather was no different in his position as Chief Compradore at Jardine, Matheson & Co., (opium Boston Brahman ) 137 an original trading house that dates back to Imperial China and is still a Hong Kong conglomerate. He also had the crucial role of leader of the Chinese community.

“The book lays bare the moral compromises of the Kadoories and the Sassoons–and their exceptional foresight, success, and generosity”
