It's important to remember that all these ups and downs are academic unless Wynn decides to sell his stock before any future gains that may occur. And even now, his Wynn Resorts stock is altogether worth almost $2 billion, so he probably won't be filling out any job applications any time soon. Of course, even if the Wynn Resorts board decides to let him go from the company, he's in line for a generous severance package that happens to tidily exceed the losses his stock has taken so far:

"If he is terminated by Wynn Resorts 'without cause' he would be owed 'three times the salary and bonus that would be payable during the remaining term of the contract,' according to company filings. That should come to about $247 million."

As of now, Wynn Resorts is carrying out its own investigation into the allegations, according to a statement, and that the board is "committed to operating with the highest ethical standards and maintaining a safe and respectful culture."
