Why are the Fertittas bailing out Xyience (again)?

By Zach Arnold | January 25, 2008

Update: MMA Payout claims a criminal investigation is coming.

We’ve discussed Xyience’s bankruptcy this week on the site, and I asked a couple of questions that nobody has provided a sufficient answer for yet.

Today, The Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that another Fertitta company, Zyen, is making a $1 million USD loan to Xyience for post-bankruptcy financing.

Zyen is the same company that the Fertittas used to become a creditor for Xyience.
