A very interesting article mostly on Hong Kong in this month's Wired magazine. There is some serious action in HK racing.

its all green if they got caught. Here, in America, they brush it under the rug.
Here's an article dated the same day the OP started the thread, the links in the OP don't work.

As far as it not being "Green" i'd prefer to see over a dozen arrests rather than how they do it in America (Rug sweep).

Rug sweep. How true. 
Racing, or any human activity involving the exchange of money, is always going to have some people attempt to cheat. But the impression I have of Hong Kong is that it's roughly 98+ percent clean, where as in North America, I'm thinking about 1/3 of the races have a larcenous angle or two in play.....

Whenever money is involved, criminals will always try something shady instead of following the rules and playing fair.

I read a week or so ago the races in Hong Cong are generating pools averaging something like $17M.
I'm getting interested.
