Excerpt: It is getting to be a formula.
Yet another EB-5 promoter has swindled millions from alien investors, presumably her fellow Chinese, and used the money to buy a yacht and a $100,000 Mercedes among other things, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (not DHS) has broken the case.
This time the locale is Florida, the alleged swindler is Lily Zhong, and her purchases also include a summer home in Worcester, Mass., a winter one in Poinciana, Fla., and a $55,000 BMW X5 SUV, perhaps for travel between. SEC says that she defrauded 17 investors out of $8.5 million. Though the nationality of the investors was not revealed, about 85 percent of all EB-5 investors are from China.
