Fabrizio Boccardi, investor, Creator, producer and CEO of King Midas World Entertainment

Fabrizio Boccardi is an Italian American entrepreneur, investor, and producer. Boccardi is the owner and creator of the multimedia brand the Tyrant.[1][2][3] In addition, he controls several investments,including Media, technology, and Gaming in the United States and abroad.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Boccardi has attempted to buy control of a Las Vegas casino, most notably Riviera Holdings, former owner of the Riviera Hotel & Casino on the strip of Las Vegas, and Riviera Casino in Black Hawk Colorado.

Early life

Boccardi was born in Milan, Italy in 1967. His father was the founder of the Istituto Finanziario Ambrosiano, a financial institution with interests in construction, real estate, and insurance. Boccardi attended the Leone XIII school in Milan, and then the Ophenaimer. He continued his studies in the United States, attending Villanova Preparatory School, in Ojai, California, but was unable to finish his junior year when his family’s holding company's collapsed.

At age 19 Boccardi established himself as a commodities trader in Monte Carlo. In his early twenties he began to invest in condominium development in Italy and in the South of France.[11][12]

Las Vegas casinos

Boccardi has attempted to buy a Las Vegas casino, since 1999.[13][14]At that time, he signed an agreement to buy the New Frontier Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, for $270 million owned at the time by Phil Ruffin. The price Boccardi was willing to pay in 1999 for the aged New Frontier Hotel & Casino, was considered too high by the lenders and gaming analysts as a result Boccardi was forced to pull out during due diligence and terminate the agreement with Ruffin. Phil Ruffin sold the New Frontier to El Ad Properties in 2007 at more than $1.2 billion, the 36 Frontier acres sold for more than $33 million an acre.[15][16][17]

In 2000, Boccardi offered $200 million for the Desert Inn Hotel & Casino, but his offer was considered too low by owners Starwood Hotel & Resorts and was then sold to Las Vegas casino owner Steve Wynn for $275 million. [18][19] [20][21][22] To publicize his bid for the Desert Inn, Boccardi invited Prince Albert of Monaco to Las Vegas.[23][24][25][26][27][28] Wynn Resorts subsequently used the Desert Inn site to develop Wynn Las Vegas that opened in 2005 on the Las Vegas’ Strip.

In 2003, Boccardi bid $8.50 per share for control of Riviera Holdings, owners of the Riviera Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip and a casino in Black Hawk, Colorado. The Boccardi's offer caused the stock of the company to increase substantially[29][30][31] The offer was subject to a change of ‘control put’ and bondholders’ approval of the debt holders of the public company trading on the American Stock Exchange. Management rejected the offer, causing some shareholders to file suit against Riviera’s management for not considering the offer.[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]Fabrizio Boccardi in an interview with the Wall Street Journal claimed that if successful buying the Riveria it would be rebranded as The Seven Sins.[40]

Litigation

In April 2004, DE Shaw Laminar Portfolios announced in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pending strategic discussions with Fabrizio Boccardi of Las Vegas regarding the Riviera Casino, and bought 10% in Riviera Holdings from Donald Trump.[41][42][43][44][45][46][47]In May 2004, in subsequent filings with the SEC, DE Shaw Laminar Portfolios announced the termination of its discussions with Boccardi regarding Riviera Holdings. Stock of Riviera Holdings trading on the American Stock Exchange subsequently split 3 for 1 and was trading at a substantial premium.[48]

In 2005 Boccardi Capital Systems filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, against DE Shaw Laminar Portfolios for breach of contract and other allegations in connection with Riviera Holdings, asking for compensation of approximately $140 million. The suit was finally dismissed in February 2009, and despite an appeal that Boccardi Capital filed immediately thereafter, the judgment was reaffirmed in December 2009 by the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.[49] [50][51][52]

In an interview with Robin Leach via the Review Journal in 2017, Boccardi confirmed that the timing for his casino and hospitality plans to be realized will be primarily determined by the level of success of the film property with the announced title The Seven Sins, a story of money, power and a new type of superhero based on adaptations inspired by the book series of Michael Tiranno the Tyrant aka the Tyrant Knight.[90][91][92][93][94][95]

Dark Light Dawn creatively blends scientific principles, superstition, biblical elements and the inexplicable of the universe, culminating in a celebration of free will and the power of human nature itself.[97][98][99][100][96][101]
