The department said it had advised Wynn repeatedly over the last four years to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, and is suing now because Wynn refused to do so.
Though the Justice Department has ramped up efforts to criminally prosecute people who don’t register as foreign agents, officials described this case as the first lawsuit of its kind in more than three decades. “Where a foreign government uses an American as its agent to influence policy decisions in the United States, FARA gives the American people a right to know,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, the head of the department’s National Security Division, said in a statement.Spokespeople for the department did not immediately comment on why the department had pursued a lawsuit rather than criminal charges.
Who cares

Cool he can head over to Shanghai anytime 👋🏻
Reminds me of Sheldon Adelson and the Bush admin.
Good. Then fine the 💩 out of him. Money is the only thing that gets the attention of these assholes. Hit ‘em in the wallet where it’ll hurt. A billion or so will do!
