At a session the coming week, MGC commissioners explained that they must stay away from the investigative process while the lawsuit remains active. Wynn lawyers argue that the MGC’s Investigations and Enforcement Bureau has ” conducted their months-long investigated by Wynn Resorts with total disregard for protecting the privileged the submissions of Mr. Wynn .”

The MGC investigative unit is trying to determine if Wynn Resorts purposely denied knowledge of their founder’s alleged sexual misbehavior during the company’s bid for the Boston casino license in 2014.

MGC Interim Chair Gayle Cameron said Thursday,” My fellow commissioners and I are ready to adjudicate this matter, and eager to assess the findings. Determining a viable style to bring the investigation to a close is an urgent priority .”

Timetable off the Table

Prior to Wynn’s lawsuit, which names Wynn Resorts, the MGC, and MGC Investigations and Enforcement Bureau Director Karen Wells as defendants, the gaming board said the review was coming to a open, and the adjudicatory process would begin in September. That was pushed back to October, and later, December.

Now, the MGC acknowledges there is no concrete timeframe as to when the matter might be resolved.

Both IEB and the licensee will hopefully soon present indication orally or in writing and the commissioners will then have unrestricted opportunity to ask questions of both the IEB and the licensee ,” Cameron explained.” Since the commissioners, the four of us, sit as the magistrates in this adjudicatory proceeding, we must make our decision impartially based exclusively on the evidence presented before us .”

” We must not in any way have access to investigations substances prior to the adjudicatory process ,” she concluded.

The MGC has several penalties it could impose on Wynn Resorts. They include a significant fine into the seven-digit fury, a suspension of the casino’s let, and the worse-case scenario: revocation of the $85 million license.

Lengthy Affair

Steve Wynn accuses of sexually assaulting and harassing female workers over his several decades-long vocation. Though he continues to deny he was never behaved inappropriately, the billionaire resigned as CEO and chairman a month after the allegations came to light, and he’s since sold off his entire stake in the company.

New leadership at Wynn say the company was never about one guy. Three wives have since been appointed to the board of directors, and longtime gaming industry ex-serviceman Phil Satre has taken over as chairman.

Earlier this month, Satre said license revocation would be unfair to the thousands of people who have worked on the $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor, and the thousands more who will be employed once it’s scheduled to open in June.

” It’s not fair to this corporation and to the 4,000 people that will be working there. It’s not fair to all the management that we brought in to control this casino. Frankly, I don’t think it’s fair to the taxpayers of the state or the cities that benefit from this company ,” Satre opined.
