The woman, whose identity was protected, claimed to Gonzales that Yao was selling visas for large amounts of money and then receiving labor from the applicants for “next to nothing” in exchange.
None of these people come from poor homes. These are people who can pay him 20 grand for their visa,” the woman said in the report.
“That arrangement is made in China.”
Gonzales even confronted Yao, who appeared to claim through broken English that he was in the process of reopening the day care and that he had done nothing wrong. He also told Gonzales that he would call the police if she didn’t leave the business.
And then he drove off in his metallic rose gold BMW.
She went on to document how the company had apparently taken out two PPP loans in the amounts of $51,000 and $54,000, and both were forgiven. Gonzales also questioned how they had an autism behavioral center that did not seem at all operational.
“The thing that is so curious about this [case] when you go digging in the data and the [Labor Condition Applications] is that you wouldn’t think that a day care center would need, you know, ‘market research analysts’ or ‘supply chain analysts,’” Gonzales said.
“And yet, this company actually told the United States government that they needed foreign workers to fill those jobs,” she claimed.
