Wynn shares tumble 6% after reports of 'decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct' by CEO Steve Wynn
CNBC ^ | January 26, 2018 | Michael Sheetz

Posted on 01/26/2018 10:14:44 AM PST by EdnaMode

Wynn Resorts stock dropped 6 percent in trading Friday after The Wall Street Journal reported allegations of sexual misconduct by billionaire CEO Steve Wynn over many years.

Dozens of people who worked at Wynn's casinos say his behavior created a pattern of sexual misconduct, according to the report, with some describing employees being pressured into performing sex acts with Wynn.

Wynn would regularly have manicures, makeup applications and massages performed at his office at the Wynn resort in Las Vegas, according to the WSJ. Former employees of Wynn say they would schedule fake appointments for female workers to avoid requests for those services, the report says.

A manicurist who worked at Wynn's flagship casino recounted an incident with Wynn in 2005, telling the WSJ that he forced her to have sex at his office. Colleagues recounted her returning to the on-site salon visibly distressed, the report says, and she told others Wynn pressured her to take her clothes off and lie on the massage table kept at his office. Those people she told about the incident recounted to the WSJ that the manicurist did not want to have sex with Wynn, but said he was persistent in his demands.

The WSJ contacted over 150 current and former employees of Wynn. The majority of those who spoke worried that talking to the media would hurt their job opportunities, citing Wynn's vast and powerful influence throughout Nevada and the casino industry.

Steve Wynn is guilty of nothing more than being a powerful man in sex-saturated Las Vegas. Glad none of these snowflakes were around when the Mob ran that town.

Having sex with a multi-Billionaire is like the lottery. Some times you win and sometimes you were sexually harassed.

There needs to be a statute of limitations on these women to lodge complaints. We do this in every other crime.Why should a disgruntled employee get 11 years before she files a complaint? seems grossly unfair.

***WARNING***

CNBC = Counterfeit News & Bull Crap

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Why don’t we follow Trump’s lead here on FR? See what the liars are saying, but don’t repeat it using the Lying leftist outlet as the source. Let’s limit posting headlines from these wretched Lying Leftist outlets. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.

Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth. You’ve done the Patriotic Right a service. Much better than the mindless repetition of lying sources and their lying headlines.

If we’re told a lie, don’t repeat it. Neutralize the lie by speaking the truth. Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. We should have our eyes on the prize - in this case, politically, what it takes to recover our Free Constitutional Republic. That should be what we major on and focus on.

“A manicurist who worked at Wynn’s flagship casino recounted an incident with Wynn in 2005, telling the WSJ that he forced her to have sex at his office. “ I saw Wynn speak at the opening of his Encore hotel in 2005 the man was CLEARLY already blind by that point. There is NO WAY a blind man could “force” this woman to have sex with him. What is more likely is that she acquiesced to consensual sex and now wants a payday.

Yes, almost all of us. Most of us are just trying to get laid. Why do you ask?

I don’t wish to dismiss this issue, because it’s an important one.

If he was doing these things he deserves to be taken to ask for it.

That being said...

The WSJ contacted 150 former employees, no stone unturned.

I wonder how many identity experts they contacted about Obama’s fake birth certificate.

It’s my take they left no stone turned.

From now on for me, it’s the WST.

The Wall Street Tabloid...

Hmmm. Isn’t Steve Wynn one of the men on that new Fox show on Sundays? Can’t think of the name of it off the top of my head. Timing seems odd.

Steve Wynn suffers from the degenerative eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa, which he was diagnosed with in 1971. By 2005 his condition had progressed to the point at which he needed to be led around by the arm by another person just to get around his casino. The idea that he could “force” any of these allegations is absurd.
