But the attorney for the former Wynn Las Vegas salon manager Angelica Limcaco says he’ll appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We are not deterred by the recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,” Limcaco’s Los Angeles attorney Jordan Matthews said. “Similar to the Department of Justice, which recently brought claims against Steve Wynn and Tom Barrack (a former adviser to President Donald Trump), and which recently filed an appeal in the matter against Steve Wynn for his alleged violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, we will continue to vigilantly protect our client’s rights and will continue to bring tough cases.”
