CFO at embattled casino resigns
Summary
Frank Krile, the chief financial officer of The Star casino, has resigned after one year in the position, effective Monday. This departure coincides with the resignation of Chief Operating Officer Jeannie Mok at the end of January. These resignations follow a tumultuous period for the casino, including a $427.9 million loss in the last financial year and a 45% plunge in share price. A $300 million rescue package from Bally’s and Investment Holdings was approved in November, leading to changes in leadership, including the appointment of Bruce Mathieson Jr. as executive chairman (later replaced by Soo Kim) and a reduction in the CEO's salary. The Star also faces a potential $400 million fine for historical breaches of financial laws, which the company argues could be financially devastating.
