Newly obtained legal documents in the attorney general’s year-old pandemic fraud case against casino owner Andy Sanborn reveal for the first time what the parties have declined to say publicly for months.
The documents, obtained by the Bulletin via a right-to-know request, show that both legal teams distrust the other. Sanborn believes the state agency requiring him to sell his casino is also intentionally scaring away buyers. And Sanborn’s legal team has continued to outmaneuver the Attorney General’s Office.
Sanborn’s most recent victory came Wednesday.
Over vehement objections and skepticism from the Attorney General’s Office, Sanborn’s lawyers secured their client three more months to sell his casino after convincing a state administrative law judge that a deal is pending.
