Wynn Las Vegas agreed to forfeit $130 million in funds involved in the transactions at issue and continue to make certain enhancements to its compliance program.
"Casinos, like all businesses, will be held to account when they allow customers to evade U.S. laws for the sake of profit," U.S. Attorney Tara McGrath stated.
Federal oversight seeks to prevent illegal funds from tainting legitimate businesses, ensuring that casinos offer a clean, thriving, and safe entertainment option.
Investigators said Wynn regularly contracted with third-party independent agents acting as unlicensed money transmitting businesses to recruit foreign gamblers.
