Following allegations of Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation being involved in money laundering, racketeering, and human trafficking, critics are questioning why Caesars Entertainment would risk their proposed $5 billion Times Square casino, by partnering with an alleged criminal organization.
Roc Nation’s “Racketeering, Trafficking, and Related Unlawful Activity.”
Recently, we covered the lawsuit filed by Terrence Dixon (T.A.), accusing Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation of trafficking, racketeering, money laundering, and other federal crimes.
The lawsuit details an alarming pattern of criminality by Roc Nation.
Caesars Palace Gambling Reputation With Roc Nation Partnership – Money Laundering Alleged
The Broadway community has been getting increasingly vocal in their opposition of the proposed casino, which includes a partnership between Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Caesars Entertainment. The Caesars Palace Times Square casino proposal is one of eight competing for one of three available casino licenses.
Roc Nation’s association with numerous federal crimes, especially money laundering, is alarming both critics and the community.

“Roc Nation, through it’s leadership and personnel, coordinated with Defendant Cartagena (Fat Joe) to launder illicit proceeds, shield criminal activity from law enforcement scrutiny, and provide operational cover for the enterprise.”
