Former casino boss Steve Wynn has claimed that he cannot be held responsible for sexual harassment claims against him, because he's quit the gaming industry and is no longer legally tied to the company that bears his name.
Lawyers filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against Wynn by the Nevada Gaming Control Board on Thursday. Wynn insists that because he no longer has any financial interest in Wynn Resorts, the gaming board does not have any authority to punish him for alleged sexual harassment, claims that had previously led to him stepping down from the company.
The board filed their complaint in October, alleging that Wynn's behavior violated the"suitability" requirements they maintain for casino license holders. His lawyers argue that the claims are irrelevant due to Wynn having already personally removed himself from the gaming industry. "The specific question presented is: Has the Nevada Legislature expressly or implied authorized Nevada's gaming regulators to discipline a person who no longer has any involvement with a Nevada gaming licensee and, thus, no longer poses an alleged threat to the industry or the public at large?" write Wynn's lawyers in the motion."We submit the answer to that question is a resounding 'No.
Allegations that Steve Wynn sexually harassed multiple women over the course of decades led to the former casino magnate stepping down as CEO of Wynn Resorts and finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
No longer at company? What Newsweek doesn't proof read ? Hmmm

He also thinks the bad/failed plastic surgery helps his case.
What a sleaze. I hope he ends up getting sexually harassed in jail.
Even though I have never personally experienced it, this must be that white privilege thing I hear so much about
Wow but you’re still an alleged predator
