Last September, Scott Sibella announced an abrupt departure from Resorts World, stepping down as its President and CEO for, what was stated at the time, as violating company policy. 

However, since then, details of what these violations were have been in short supply. 

This was until Thursday last week, when the Department of Justice reported that Sibella pleaded guilty to failing to file reports of suspicious transactions while working in this role as CEO of MGM Grand and MGM Resorts. 

This will be the main focus of the first half of today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, where James Ross is joined by Joe Streeter, Editor of CasinoBeats and Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas. 

Then in the second half of the podcast, while we’ve got Joe and Jess on, we’ll look into Flutter’s New York Stock exchange listing this week and a brief glimpse into the Super Bowl that’s taking place in Las Vegas.
