It seems the reports are true that came out before the election. Adelson was pumping huge amounts of money into the Romney election to avoid prosecution. Adelson once said he feared that Barack Obama is trying to make the US a socialist country. But that doesn't make sense since Adelson has made more money than any American since Obama took office (reportedly $17.1 billion by last fall, probably more with the stock market up so much).

Sheldon Adelson's Woes Mount With Grand Jury In Las Vegas Sands Money-Laundering Probe
snip
The involvement of a federal grand jury, not previously reported, suggests an escalation of the money-laundering investigation into Sands and one of its executives, being led by the U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, according to a person with direct knowledge of the inquiry. The person requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the grand jury’s work, which is not public.
Investigators are probing whether Sands broke money-laundering laws by failing to report millions in potentially questionable transfers of money several years ago by two-high rollers at its casinos. Both men have separately been charged with other crimes and one has since been sentenced to jail for accepting illegal kickbacks.
