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.

Me

Not ever

If a woman ain’t turned on to be with me or whatever I’m doing to make her feel appropriate then I’m not going there...and men know if women are receptive

I prefer all the preparation time to the actual saddle time

That’s true intimacy

I can’t fathom begging or forcing myself on a girl

However

When I was 12-13 we had a neighborhood girl who was full bloom around same age. Big C or D....they just popped up one day like a volcano in a Mexican cornfield

I confess I did goose her speakers wrestling around playing with football in the winter grass

It made me feel damn warm all of a sudden flushed

She giggled and but didn’t tell me to stop but I did anyhow
Then she kissed me like she knew kissing more than I did....

That was the extent of it

That’s honestly only time in my life I would say I touched a woman intimately spontaneously

We’d gone to school together for 7 years and same little 300 house neighborhood

She was cute though

Her momma was petite and buxom too

Her daddy had his hands full in high school but by then I’d moved to the other side of the city 15 mikes away

Political activities. Wynn has publicly self-identified as a supporter of the Democratic Party in the United States, though he has financially supported both the Democrats and their rivals the Republican Party, for example contributing $200,000 to the Republican Governors Association in 2013.

The Wynn sucks. Vegas sucks. You have to pay $14 to self park at the hotel where you’re staying. $20 for valet.

No kidding

In my youth I was pretty coin laden and had zero problem getting laid worldwide by solid nines and nine point fives

The world was a damn candy store for me and I ain't gorgeous but I'm tall and better looking than Wynn

Little scary secret though is men still want emotional availability

And poontang

Steve Wynn, Dr.Nassar and others will eventually be held accountable for sexual misconduct of the past except for Slick Willy. The Clintons remain untouchable.

100% agree with you. A non receptive woman doesn’t trip my trigger. In fact, knocking one out with drugs of coercing them because they need to pay the rent would actually hurt my self esteem.

Imagine the whole time thinking “she wouldn’t do this with me if she had any other choice”.

By the way... your post 43 was almost poetry. Don’t know what that says about me, but there it is.

He’s also the reason that the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas can’t get a gaming license. He hates Trump, and has control of the gaming commission in NV.


I thought Wynn just hosted a fundraiser for Trump’s campaign, at Mar a Lago, that Trump had to miss out on due to the #SchumerShutdown.

Sorry to be so very chauvinistic here, but the reality is, Steve Wynn would not have had to “pressure” any woman into sex.

There are hundreds of beautiful Topless Showgirls, Keno Girls, High Stakes Table Dealers, Bar Waitresses, and others who would have been very aggressive in their sexual pursuit of Steve Wynn, or any other casino owner, or in fact, major businessman, and their moeny in those days... and now as well.

I am not in any way condoning sexual misconduct, but sex, with both men and women as the instigators, with the hope of personal or business advancement, is universal in every business, country and culture, and always has been.

A certain now-retired TV Network News Reporter slept her way to the VERY top, in less than 40 months. (No, not Meghan Kelly) So did the wife of another network regular.

Steven Spielberg did not marry Amy Irving and Kate Capshaw because they were great cooks.

In Japan, wives of senior executives carry a picture of their hisband’s mistress with them to show to friends, and in any social circle, the wife of the man who has the best looking mistress “wins big.”

“As it is now and ever shall be” is not just a Biblical phrase

Exactly! I have had waitresses in Vegas hint at wanting to have sex with me simply because I gambled and won fairly big at the tables. The place is saturated with sex and there is zero doubt in my mind that that translates to the boardroom, too.

They had some bad blood in the past, don’t know the details... this is what I have heard from Las Vegas residents and my connections at the MGM. As of this coming Monday I’ll be a resident too assuming closing on my new house there goes as planned.
