Plaintiffs claimed this concealment led to material misrepresentations to shareholders between <strong>March 28, 2016, and March 12, 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The settlement marks the conclusion of a six-year legal battle following 2018 media reports that revealed Steve Wynn\u2019s alleged harassment of employees, which placed him at the forefront of the <strong>#MeToo<\/strong> movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plaintiff\u2019s attorneys said: \u201cWhile Plaintiffs are confident in the merits of their claims, the Settlement provides certain, immediate recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn contrast, continuing litigation would have inherent risks, including the risk of a diminished recovery or no recovery at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This settlement follows a ruling by the <strong>Nevada Supreme Court<\/strong>, which rejected Steve Wynn&#8217;s defamation lawsuit against the <strong>Associated Press<\/strong>. Wynn had sought to delay his appeal to the <strong>U.S. Supreme Court<\/strong>, but the request was denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the settlement is approved, the $70 million fund will be distributed to eligible class members who purchased Wynn Resorts&#8217; securities during the specified period and incurred losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This case is one of several legal and regulatory actions stemming from allegations against Steve Wynn. State regulators fined the company <strong>$20 million <\/strong>in February 2018 for failing to address the harassment claims, and the Massachusetts Gaming Commission later imposed a <strong>$35 million<\/strong> fine after finding that former executives had concealed the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Wynn resigned as CEO and chairman of Wynn Resorts in February 2018 and has since denied all accusations. Also named in the lawsuit were former CFO <strong>Stephen Cuti<\/strong>, general counsel <strong>Kim Marie Sinatra<\/strong>, and ex-CEO <strong>Matthew Maddox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A long-standing securities class action lawsuit against Wynn Resorts and several former executives has reached a $70 million settlement, pending court approval.
