Owners Face Hostility

Aaron Shaked is part of a family that owner several online casino operations. He plans to enter politics and is riding on the socialist ticket with the Labor party. It is yet to be known if the violence aimed at him was related to business or politics.

Casino 888 went public in the London Stock exchange recently and since then the operators have seen great financial success. In total the family that runs the online casinos consists of 3 brothers who each made over 90 million dollars and over 250 million in holdings. The float of the company was definitely a success and this is probably what helped propel Shaked into the political arena.

Aaron Shaked is running for politics while still operating 888 on the platform that he is a "Proud, Socialist Millionaire!" He is promising to raise minimum wage and to reform the social class structure in Israel. It is yet to be seen what his place with the Labor party will be. The operator survived the ordeal of having a grenade thrown at him.
