Massachusetts gambling regulators are questioning Wynn Resorts leaders Thursday about what they knew about allegations of sexual misconduct against company founder Steve Wynn.
The state's gaming commission resumed its interrogation of new company CEO Matt Maddox, who took over after company founder Steve Wynn resigned last year and has been a close confidant of the billionaire for years.
The commission opened the hearings Tuesday after releasing a 200-page report by its investigators that concluded company executives concealed and failed to take action on allegations against Steve Wynn for years. Under questioning from regulators, Maddox denied knowing about the specifics of private settlements Steve Wynn had reached with former casino employees who had accused him of sexual misconduct until those details became public years later.
Maddox acknowledged he should have informed regulators about the allegations ultimately revealed by The Wall Street Journal in January 2018 because company officials were aware of the reporting weeks prior to publication.
