When asked until when can CCC survive without the $3.5 million casino regulatory fee, Yeom only stated that the central government has assured them that they will continue to operate. He did not indicate in his report how much of CCC’s funds remain.

With respect to Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC, Yeom said that IPI’s payroll delay pattern has continued. “This is an issue that must be resolved in the soonest way possible, especially…with the holiday season right around the corner,” he said.
