The Mohegan Sun has sued the NHL Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk over five bank drafts worth more than $900,000 that the tribal casino alleges he wrote but which were dishonored by a Toronto Bank. He wrote the bank drafts over one weekend in March 2017. The casino filed suit in July.
A bank draft differs from a check in that payment is guaranteed by the issuer after a review of the account to determine if there are sufficient funds available is completed.
The casino seeks the money plus $15,000 in damages, costs and interest. Melnyk’s attorney offered no comment aside from the expectation of a “swift result,” according to CBC.
