Moeen Butt, 23, was supposed to begin managing Intrigue Jewelers around Sept. 17 because its previous manager was taken into federal custody for what the company's lawyer believed was a visa violation. The lawyer, Philip Calandrino of Orlando, Fla., said a manager named Hamza Mir left the business abruptly around Sept. 11 and was replaced by his brother, who was arrested by federal agents Sept. 12.

Calandrino did not know the brother's name. Contacted Tuesday, he said he did not know the name Ashar Butt.

Intrigue Jewelers closed the mall kiosk around Sept. 17.

The more I read your replies on this thread, the more I'm convinced that these jewelry stores are like an underground railway for these illegal and sometimes legal "Visitors".

They provide jobs and the ability to become invisible as just another Joe Camel working in the mall.

Then they have to be a tremendous money laundering machine with franchises to launder money all over the USA.

Incredible!
