For those who don't know, USA universities can hire an unlimited number of H-1Bs, with no quota. However, this article does not implicate or even mention the UW.
Here is the link to the DOJ summary of the criminal complaint:

H1B needs to end and send all H1B workers and their families home. Immediately. Free these jobs up for Americans.
This is a good article and should remind us all that members of Congress pushing to continue and even increase these several visa programs are committing treason against the American people.
There is no way to “fix” the H1B program it is systemically abused wholesale. It needs abolished
Oh...
...I thought this was going to be about Elizabeth Warren.
From the headline I thought it was Indian Motorcycles CEO.
Hillary promised unlimited H1-b visas. I am in IT, and as far as I can tell, I am the only one in my part of the company to vote for Trump.
This fraud by people from India is nationwide. It’s not confined to the Seattle area.
I can attest to the allegations and charges of this story.
And it’s not just H1-B, it is also in any programs where high salaries attract tech-savvy persons.
India is a nation of about 2 billion people. About 5% of them are 1st world educated or about 100 million persons. Of these, there are some millions that can compete with anyone in terms of tech ability but the high salaries are here in the USA and this is where they target.
It’s all about money.
Once they slip in and grab high paying jobs, they ‘cluster’ meaning they promote each other and form a chain-promotion so that entire groups within a company can be staffed by nothing but persons from India.
It’s the money that attracts,
A six-figure salary in the states is like an eight-figure salary in India.

good post. explains succinctly how the uni-party pols used no skill, cheap labor in a gov’t program to create massive crony-capitalist profit for doing basically nothing, while setting them up to destroy the foundation of organically grown American know-how, all in one fell swoop.
The arrest of the Asian Indian CEO is interesting by itself.
The CEO bolted from the USA in April 2018, which is when the Feds began to question his bogus business clients, at least one of whom declared that he had no idea who the CEO was.
Presumably, the CEO returned to India for five months.
The criminal complaint and indictment were “sealed,” in other words, kept secret, so it’s not clear if the Feds induced him to come back, or if he thought he was in the clear, or if he just stupidly walked into the waiting arms of the FBI.
Feather or dot?
I had to explain that to my wife this morning.
Thank you Jeff Sessions...
Wow. That will be some fine.
Yoder the Floater is pushing this? He has a lot of tech workers in his district. I doubt they will be pleased to learn he’s trying to give their jobs away.
I get a lot of calls from these Indian run search firms. They are obnoxious. They are demanding that, as an engineer with over 30 years experience in process control and industrial automation, I am supposed to accept a contract rate of $22 an hour.
This is their game. They push these lowball rates at candidates here in the US. Then they tell their prospective clients that they can not find candidates here in the United States who will work for these cheap rates, and they use that to push their H-1B’s. The H-1B’s can barely communicate in English, and can’t do the job.
These body shops have an address in the US, but they operate out of India - even if the caller ID says the call is coming from Metuchen NJ.
I’m so sick of foreign sh!+ ripping us off. The friggin Dems will do anything to gain power. May they all rot in hell.
BIG HINT about why "liberal Tech Thugs" donate the big bucks to corrupt democrats...
Democrats offer Tech Thugs all the CHEAP LABOR they want... while shafting American workers.
