Looks like Wynn Resorts’ board of directors will not be able to take a breather from all the bad news this month.
On Monday, a Nevada court judge overturned an earlier ruling that blocked Japanese casino mogul Kazuo Okada from running after the members of the Wynn Resorts Board who voted to oust him from the company, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
The Nevada Court’s decision came at a time when Wynn Resorts was rocked by a scandal involving the company’s founder Steve Wynn. Wynn, who was accused of sexual harassment, stepped down from his post as the chairman and CEO of the company late Tuesday.
Nevada District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez has finally been swayed to admit a previously sealed document into evidence, which will prove Okada’s contention that the members of the 2012 Wynn Board connived to remove him in November 2011.
