War of lawsuits between Wynn Resorts and Boston city continues as Steve Wynn filed a libel lawsuit against an unnamed defendant for leaking subpoenas in related to Boston lawsuit against Massachusetts gaming regulator.

According to the lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court, the subpoenas were not meant to gather information, rather to spread lies to defame and damage the company’s reputation along with that of Wynn president, Matthew Maddox. It claims the documents were delivered to media before they were served on the people named in the subpoenas.

“Although our commitment to Massachusetts is absolute and irrevocable, our tolerance for mean-spirited, libelous statements has exceeded any reasonable limit,” Wynn said in his statement. “Someone knowingly disseminated sham subpoenas containing falsehoods — outright lies — designed to interfere with our license granted by the Gaming Commission and defame our reputation. We intend to identify the malicious individuals who did this and call them to account.”

The allegations also included false information that the company had employed two former police officers who had been given information about a convicted felon who had owned land at the future site of the proposed Everett casino. Wynn stated that it had not attended a 2013 meeting in which the land interest of the said felon was considered.
