United Workers Union casinos director Andrew Jones said there was growing frustration amongst staff towards Star's "business as usual" approach. Its shares plummeted by more than 15 per cent after the trading halt was lifted on Friday morning. Ensuring Brisbane's casino doesn't become an "eyesore without tenancies" should be a priority as further doubt is cast over the future of Star Entertainment, a business expert says. Schofield highlighted that staff had kept working through tough times in the last year and a half, often not sure if they would get paid, and called out the company for not valuing its workers enough. Prosecutors detailed Star’s problematic relationships with junkets and the multitude of AML risks they presented. Chief among them was Suncity Group, the notorious junket whose ringleader Alvin Chau is currently imprisoned in Macau on illegal gambling charges.
