Sep 1 at 12:08 comment added Matt Zaremsky Just sort of a random remark, this theorem actually can be useful in the finitely generated world, since if $H$ is finite (and $A$ is finitely generated) then $A \mathrm{Wr} H$ is finitely generated (sort of cheating since it just equals the restricted version). For example this is the key to proving that if a finite index subgroup of your group embeds into Thompson's group $V$, then your group embeds in $V$.
