Billionaire James Packer grilled on China arrests and why he was in the dark about risks - tells casino licence inquiry "top executives let me down"

There've been more fascinating insights into the business affairs of the troubled billionaire James Packer at a high stakes casino licence inquiry underway in Sydney. 



Mr Packer has conceded he was kept in the dark by top executives at the Crown casino empire on the events leading up to the arrest of Crown staff in China who were arrested four years ago for luring high rollers to gamble in Australia. 

Inquiry commissioner Patricia Bergin SC quizzed Mr Packer on why Crown executives were reluctant to brief him on bad news despite the risk to staff and the company's now shattered reputation.
