I always assumed they had some leverage on him, but ‘pee tapes’ didn’t seem to cut it. Maybe rather than something more depraved, it was just fear of being hanged for treason the whole time?
He has almost certainly done a lot of money laundering for dubious Russian organizations, and he has also funded his businesses with Russian money. His indebtedness to powerful Russians will have been part of their leverage. And it would be surprising if there weren’t at least a little blackmail thrown in too.

The man bankrupted multiple casinos.
I think the only play he knows is to double down.
