Gaming giant Genting seeks dismissal of a $600 million lawsuit filed by RAV Bahamas over alleged fraud and false accounting at Resorts World Bimini in the Bahamas.

RAV Bahamas, owned by Florida's Capo family, claims they've received no return on investment, alleging Genting turned the project into a "financial wasteland" with $885 million in debt.

Genting argues the case should be dismissed because:

• It's a shareholder dispute that should be handled in the Bahamas
• The claims are time-barred, dating back to 2014
• The complaint fails to prove false statements or knowledge of untrue claims
• The allegations of self-conspiracy and interference with its own business relationship are legally unsupportable

Project Background:

• RAV developed Bimini Bay resort from 2002-2011
• In 2012, Genting partnered with RAV to add a casino
• They formed BB Entertainment (BBE) for the venture

RAV alleges Genting:

• Denied access to BBE's financial records
• Refused requests for independent audits
• Created debt exceeding the combined liabilities of Genting Malaysia and its 150 subsidiaries
• Used complex corporate structures to conceal financial improprieties

Genting maintains these allegations are "baseless and without merit," while the case awaits court decision.
