Steve Wynn is back in the news again. His former attorney, L. Lin Wood, is suing Wynn for alleged defamation, the ex-casino mogul supposedly having told Donald Trump that Wood was several fries short of a Happy Meal. The falling out between Wood and Wynn came after a charity dinner, at which Wood extolled the superior virtues of Christianity to Wynn, a Buddhist by way of Judaism. Before that, Wynn was happy to have Wood doing his dirty work, whether it was trying to muzzle an attorney for victims of Wynn’s sexual harassment or sweeping aforesaid misconduct under the rug. Of one sexual assault Wynn said churlishly, blaming the victim, “Anybody who is over 10 years old and knows what goes on in the world knows what happens next. Along comes this gal who had a turn with me, obviously being advised on what to do. So, in this context, $7.5 million was not a significant number. And I paid it.”
As for Wood’s sanity, judge for yourself. He was banned from Twitter for calling for Vice President Mike Pence‘s execution by firing squad. He’s shilled for QAnon. He has insinuated that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is both a pedophile and somehow complicit in the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Oh, and sex-abuser Jeffrey Epstein is alive and thriving. A Delaware judge recently ruled that Wood’s in-court behavior “exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication, and surprising incompetence.” And this is who Steve Wynn chose to handle his legal affairs? Pardon us but we don’t have a dog in this fight.
Best Wynn Pic EVER! Always gets me. Thanks.
I think Cordish is a decent operator, but the timing of their opening; unfortunately, could not be any worse.
Yesterday (1/15) the Phila TV stations showed the casino interior, and today their website has “enter your player card # to reserve a time slot”. The TV stations said it was open by invitation now, and in Feb to the public.
