Nov. 21–The state Gaming Commission will review new bombshell allegations that federal authorities are investigating whether Wynn Resorts violated money-laundering laws, according to a commission spokeswoman.

The Wall Street Journal, citing “people familiar with the matter,” reported yesterday that prosecutors from the Manhattan and Las Vegas U.S. Attorney’s offices and IRS and DEA investigators are jointly probing the company’s handling of sports betting involving “high-roller gamblers,” as well as whether VIP customers laundered drug money through Wynn casinos.

“We are aware of the news reports and at this point, our Investigations and Enforcement Bureau has the information and will review it,” Elaine Driscoll, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, told the Herald last night. “They’ll make whatever inquiries they deem appropriate at this point.”

Neither the company nor owner Steve Wynn has been accused of wrongdoing, according to the report. The paper cited an IRS letter it says was sent to a Wynn attorney demanding personal information on its biggest customers from 2011 to 2013; a list of the top 100 customers in North America and the top 50 on three other continents, and information on company-imposed safeguards preventing money laundering.

Wynn spokesman Michael Weaver dismissed the report when contacted by the Herald last night.

“We are not aware of any investigation of the company and no agency has notified the company that it is under any investigation,” Weaver said in a statement. “The fact that information is requested from us by a governmental agency in no way implies the accusation of any wrongdoing by the company.”

Weaver suggested letters from federal authorities are a routine matter in the casino industry.

“As a highly regulated business, we are in a constant dialogue with regulators and governmental agencies on a variety of matters and the fact that information is requested from us by a governmental agency in no way implies the accusation of wrongdoing by the company,” Weaver added.

Wynn Resorts is building a $1.6 billion casino resort in Everett after being awarded the second of three licenses by the gaming panel in September.

“Any request for information by a government agency is unrelated to, nor would it impact, our efforts in Everett,” Weaver said.

Wynn presented a jumbo-sized $85 million check to the state earlier this month, representing the license fee required to build the resort.

Wynn beat out one-time sure-shot Suffolk Downs to build a casino in the eastern Massachusetts region.

The Wynn project — and others proposed around the state — also survived a referendum, which ultimately failed at the polls, that would have repealed casino gambling in Massachusetts after the state Legislature first made it legal in 2011.
