Wynn sues Australian ex-brothel owner after $3.3m gambling spree

Gambling giant Wynn is suing a Melbourne-based high roller with alleged ties to organised crime over a $3.3 million gambling spree and claims of unpaid debts at its flagship Macau precinct.

Simon Pan, a Chinese-born former brothel owner now living in Victoria, is alleged to have gambled more than HK$17.8 million ($3.3 million) from December 31 to January 6 this year at the casino, funded in part by a HK$2 million loan from Wynn that he never repaid after ending the trip HK$1.4 million in the red.
