MGM China Holdings has issued a statement cautioning the public after becoming aware of a fraudulent deepfake video impersonating its Chairperson and Executive Director, Pansy Ho.
The video promoted a fabricated investment plan claiming unrealistic returns. MGM China said it had no involvement in the video and "condemns these acts of impersonation and misrepresentation in the strongest terms." The company confirmed it is reserving all legal rights against those responsible.
A spokesperson added: "Neither MGM China nor Pansy Ho has at any time been involved in, authorised, or endorsed the purported investment plan."
The company advised the public and media to verify all information only through its official channels.
The warning comes at a time of financial strength for the operator, which recently completed its Alpha Villas project at MGM Macau and surpassed its 100th showing of the residency show Macau 2049.
The company has also hosted several government-backed cultural and sporting events, including the MGM Artistic Swimming Elite Extravaganza.
Beyond gaming operations, MGM China highlighted the risks posed by fraudulent digital content. It said the spread of such misinformation could have legal and financial consequences for those involved in creating or sharing it.
The statement concluded with a request for all parties to stop disseminating the video and its associated claims.
MGM China reported record Q2 2025 results, posting adjusted EBITDA of HK$2.5bn ($319m) with market share rising to 16.6%
