What a mess. - promoted by david
Caesars spent over a hundred million in having what it believed was a fair shot for a casino at Suffolk Downs.
Massachusetts begged them to apply. Told them everything was on the up and up. Told them and their competitors there will be no hanky panky and appearance of conflict is numero uno.
Told them a burden was put upon the commission and its employees like none in the history of state jobs.
“Why not”, say Caesars. And all in it went. Winner take all.
Then after the plunge in the deep end they learn Chairman Crosby, the big kahuna of the whole operation, has a friend and former business partner perched to make millions if Steve Winn gets the nod.
This friend/former partner was so good that after he entered Crosby’s fledging company with money and advice revenue’s increased 12 fold and it was sold for huge gains.
This is the same guy that purportedly has a silent partner in on the Wynn deal. Bad enough he’s silent but the guy spent time in the can and has shady written all over him.
So Caesars has a right to feel screwed. With all of Wynn’s questionable dealings in Macau and MGM’s past board members why did Caesar’s get asked to leave the dance?
So Caesar’s wants to be made whole and I don’t see why they shouldn’t. The state may be on the hook for all the dough Caesars spent. if Everett gets the license Suffolk Downs will join in. If Revere gets it Wynn will join in.
Thanks Steve
