Embattled casino owner Andy Sanborn has escalated his fight with the New Hampshire Lottery Commission and the Attorney General’s Office to the state Supreme Court. Sanborn has asked the court to determine whether the state acted unlawfully by preventing him from selling his business, Concord Casino.
The lawyers allege the state thwarted a sale by wrongfully revoking Sanborn’s license over allegations of pandemic fraud and denying Sanborn’s buyer his own license.
Sanborn needs that revocation reversed in order to sell the casino.
The commission revoked Concord Casino’s license in November, following a prolonged administrative fight. In new court filings, Sanborn’s attorneys argue that without that license, the business is worthless.
