Season 1
Episode 51
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Imagine wiring your family's life savings across the world, not just for a chance at profit, but for a shot at a new life. In the world of investor visas, hope and risk are inseparable—and sometimes, hope is the product itself.The promise of American residency has always been powerful. But in the twenty-tens, with the rise of the EB-5 investor visa program, that promise became something you could buy—if you could afford the entry fee, and if you trusted the right person. The idea was simple: invest real money in a United States project, create jobs, and earn a pathway to a green card. The reality was anything but simple. By the time Hana Beshara and her company Infigg entered the scene, the lines between legitimate opportunity and fertile ground for fraud were already blurred. The EB-5 program was built to attract foreign capital, but it was also built on trust—trust that the rules would be followed, that the project was real, and that the person selling you the dream understood your desperation.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 31 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/immigration-investment-fraud
