Why Ilyumzhinov became persona non grata in the United States?

The meeting of the Presidential Council of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) was held on December 6 in Athens. There was made an unusual decision. FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov suspended his powers.
A very original course by the head of a major sports organization. Just can not remember who did likewise. The head came John IV, who quit temporarily and went to the Alexander suburb. After that, the king struck a powerful blow to their opponents. FIDE President also intends to fight his enemies. The organization itself will not be beheaded: 1st Vice-President Georgios Makropoulos FIDE will lead to the return of Ilyumzhinov. Let's listen to Kirsan Nikolayevich:

FIDE President also intends to fight his enemies. The organization itself will not be beheaded: 1st Vice-President Georgios Makropoulos will lead FIDE before the returning of Ilyumzhinov. Let's listen to Kirsan Nikolayevich:
"I'm waiting for clarification from the US Treasury. And after receiving the official paper I want to go to court. I am ready to sue under US law and to sue for defamation. While they are just unsubstantiated said about some oil, banks, stocks. I think that by introducing me to his sanctions list, they limited my actions and caused damage to the my reputation and my business".
Why Ilyumzhinov became persona non grata in the United States? Because the representative of Russia for 20 years, holds the highest office in one of the largest federations, and he is going to lead further.
Kirsan Nikolayevich is not resting on its laurels, and works effectively - he was able to assemble a collapsed into pieces (with the participation of Garry Kasparov) the system of the world chess.
The world chess crown now is alone, without any versions and its prestige is fairly high. The chess are developing. Close to the implementation the dream about Olympic status. But attempts to remove Ilyumzhinov taken and will be taken.
During the last election the head of FIDE was prevented Kasparov attempt to break into the presidency in a roundabout way. Ilyumzhinov is relatively young, energetic, secured financially. In addition, it is a prudent man, and will not allow Judases in their environment. And then against him have been applied other measures.
In the end of November, the US imposed sanctions against FIDE President for his trip to Syria and contacts with the authorities. Not with LIH not with other opposition leaders, and with the legitimate authorities of the country:
"I think that the sanctions I've got because I conduct an active international policy. I was in the North Korea, Syria, met several times with Bashar al-Assad. Yes, I do not refuse to help. Thousands of chess sets, we sent three thousand books translated into Arabic, we were sponsoring a chess tournament. We helped. And we are going to help".   
Neither FIDE nor the national chess federations of claims to Ilyumzhinov not. But Americans who believe that Assad has "lost legitimacy", they have accusations. It would seem, what's the American Ministry of Finance and chess? What do they care?
But - back to the Ilyumzhinov and his unconventional move. Kirsan Nikolayevich did not wait for him to come up with a hundred boxes of lies and will distribute it. He played in advance. And, did not attack the small figure - he announced the shah.
Americans now have to answer in court either to prove their claims, or to keep up with FIDE and pay $ 50 billion. Good luck to Kirsan Ilyumzhinov! Americans have a chess legend Bobby Fischer not spared, and now - a representative of Russia. In the meantime FIDE announced the following year of chess in the United States. A very noble gesture.
