Another Use for EB-5 Visa Program
As many of my readers know, I have been trying to influence the use of the EB-5 Visa Program which is used mainly by Chinese persons who do some business in the US. The Justice Department issued a forfeiture request today against Jack Wang aka Jack Wei, one of China's richest men. What he allegedly has done is use the EB-5 project, the Cleveland International Fund, to funnel banned goods through front companies which passed then onto Iranian companies. This violates sanctions against Iran. The details on how this was done or what goods they were transferring are not in the documents put out by the Justice Department. If true, this means Wang used a US program to buy goods that were intended to be given to Iran to violate sanctions. This should be a good case to follow. It is the first time I have heard of using the EB-5 program for doing anything except contributing to local politicians election funds.
