According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Las Vegas Sands was the #1 contributor to federal campaigns during the 2012 election cycle, donating $52.9 million, 100% to Republicans.[12] By comparison, during that same period #2 Adelson Drug Clinic contributed $42.1 million, 100% to Republicans, and #21 Goldman Sachs donated $8.9 million, 77% to Republicans.[12] Since 1992, Las Vegas Sands has contributed $70.5 million to federal campaigns, and since 1999 has spent $5.4 million on lobbying.
In March 2013, media reports claimed that Las Vegas Sands informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it had likely violated federal law against bribery of foreign officials.[17] The company fired back at these reports, stating in a press release: "The company 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 today's New York Times which described the matter by saying 'Casino Says it Likely Cheated,' are both inflammatory and defamatory."[18] The company claimed that what it reported was 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. A potential violation of the accounting provisions could range anywhere from a single transaction recorded incorrectly to other errors in the accounting records. The company said it will vigorously defend itself against that type of uninformed and misleading reporting."
