Barry Diller has moved to acquire the remaining stake in MGM Resorts International, according to a report from Bloomberg Markets. This bid follows a broad internal restructuring at Diller’s conglomerate, IAC, which recently sought to streamline its diverse portfolio of digital media assets. The proposal faces immediate uncertainty, however, as the specific valuation and the response from MGM’s board have not been made public.
