Illegal alien and friends scam others for 3 million dollars
Why am I honest? Why don't I just set up a little bogus shop and start telling illegals I have a way for them to get legal status? I could probably find a couple of illegals to run it, put it in their names. I could be a silent partner, let the illegals take the fall if any thing goes wrong.
Put them all in jail
A group of Russian-born immigrants made $3 million helping 380 asylum-seekers file bogus applications over a four-year period, federal authorities charged Tuesday.
David Lynn, 33, posed as an immigration lawyer and coached natives of eastern Europe on how to claim persecution on religious, sexual orientation or other grounds, prosecutors said.
He charged $8,000 per person or $10,000 to $12,000 per family, according to officials who said they found $560,000 in cash and two gold bars hidden in floorboards of Lynn's home during a 2007 raid.
Federal authorities also moved to retain more than $1.3 million in seized cash and other assets, including funds kept in a Swiss bank account.
Lynn, also known as David Waisman, had not yet been arrested, but prosecutors said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials knew of his whereabouts. He is in the U.S. illegally, they said.
The other defendants are naturalized citizens or legal permanent residents, authorities said.
