A Bizarre Case of Visa Fraud, Money Laundering and Cemetery Plots
Kelly Einstein Darwin Giles and two associates were arrested last week for running an H-1B fraud operation in California. They set up multiple fake companies to apply for H-1B visas, then charged immigrants high fees to take advantage of the fraudulent visas. The proceeds were laundered through purchases of cemetery plots. "Cemetery plots are certainly a novel way to attempt to launder the proceeds from criminal activity, but as this case shows, we will follow the money trail wherever it leads," ICE said in a news release.
