Massachusetts Court Ruling Aims to Dig Deep in Wynn Boston Harbor Land Purchase Deal

Wynn Resorts is currently constructing its next casino resort located in the state of Massachusetts, but by the time of the official launch, there could be some changes in the management of the gambling location, since MGM Resorts are eyeing the location. There have been discussions regarding the previous owners of the land, on which the resort is being built, but as it turns out the state’s authorities might be able to shed more light to the entire situation.

It was confirmed that this month will witness the ruling on the said transfer of property between Wynn Resort and FBT Everett Realty LLC.

There are speculations about the nature of the deal, as in a court testimony it was stated that Wynn Resorts representatives were aware before the finalizing of the deal that one of the sellers have previously been associated with criminal activities in the past.

Following the information received by the Investigation and Enforcement Bureau regarding the organized crime member who was a co-owner in FBT, the investigation of the latter commenced with full force involving the FBI and the court ruling is expected to provide more details into the transfer of property and confirm or deny the
