Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, announced five notices of intent to fine attorney Vinod Doddamani, who they say filed 32 immigration cases in which he filed 64 fraudulent documents.
Doddamani faces a $250,000 fine for what DHS says is a pattern of filing allegedly false asylum claims. He allegedly filed the "identical or nearly identical in language and substance, containing the same or nearly the same factual narrative and supporting details regarding the alleged persecution," according to DHS.

Sounds like a garden-variety, South Asian scammer and bullshit artist.
Most were elevated to judgeships.

A fine is just a tax. After a service price adjustment it can still remain economically viable for this behavior to continue.
Doddamani should have started an insurance company.
Fine him, yank his citizenship, deport him to a true S-hole country.
“Sounds like a garden-variety, South Asian scammer and bullshit artist.”
Yep. Unfortunately there is a lot of them out there.
As he is a criminal, I would be taking a look at his “alledged” resume. Something about all that gobbledygook stinks!

Without God, how can law function? How can a lawyer be trusted?
Here is one from earlier this month.
“State issues alert as Tukwila immigration law firm closes, founder resigns license”
“TUKWILA, Wash. — A Tukwila-based immigration law firm has announced it is shutting down just weeks after its founder resigned from the practice of law in Washington state instead of facing discipline, ending her legal career permanently.
La Luz del Camino Legal Team announced Wednesday that the firm would close its doors and cease providing legal representation to clients.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that our law firm will be closing its doors and will no longer be providing legal representation,” the firm said in a statement to clients dated June 10.”
Clint Eastwood had a spaghetti western on the correct response.
