The Anderson & Kreiger lawyers, appointed on behalf of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, have argued that the statute of limitations period for such a claim has expired. The complaint amendment proposal was made on August 2. The plaintiff claims the commission is abusing its discretion and being capricious after finding the majority shareholder of Wynn Resorts and former wife of Steve, Elaine Wynn, and CEO Matt Maddox suitable to hold a license in Massachusetts. Plaintiff claims the commission is abusing its discretion They are requesting the inclusion of events that occurred in the last couple of years in the lawsuit. The lawyers for the Mohegan Sun want Judge Janet Sanders to alter their previous lawsuit filed against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. In April, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission issued a $35m fine to the company, just two months before the $2.6bn casino resort’s opening in Everett. Ultimately, the gaming commission decided not to revoke the company’s license after reviewing the case for an entire year.
This came after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged against Wynn Resorts founder Steve Wynn, and the company’s upper management was found to have hidden the allegations at the time of the license bidding process. The case has been on hold for some time, during which the commission has been reconsidering Wynn’s suitability as a licensed operator in the state.
