Wynn Las Vegas continues the process of separation from the company founder Steve Wynn. Wynn Resorts Limited will reportedly receive a settlement worth $41 million. This follows the resolution of a pair of lawsuits related to Wynn. They revolved around the alleged discretions of the former Chairman and CEO.

The lawsuits were originally filed by investors back in 2018. They claimed that the company’s stock valuation was harmed by Wynn’s actions. The 77-year old casino mogul denied claims of sexual misconduct including assault. He resigned from his position at that time but has consistently maintained his innocence. He sold all his interests in the casino to walk away with $2.14 billion.
