Remember Yuan Yao, the flashy car-driving daycare owner accused of fraud and ties to the CCP? He’s been indicted.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against a North Texas businessman and his company, alleging they operated fake childcare businesses in order to fraudulently sponsor foreign workers through the H-1B visa program.
The lawsuit, filed in Collin County, names Yuan Yao and Golden Qi Holdings, LLC as defendants. The state alleges Yao, identified in the petition as “a citizen of the People’s Republic of China,” operated websites advertising childcare services that “do not exist.”
Why the hell are foreign nationals even eligible for such subsidies? Shouldn’t they be limited to American citizens?
Convict him, seize all his money and property and deport him.
According to the lawsuit, examples of the alleged sham businesses include Allen Infant Care Center and DFW ABA Center, both tied to an address at 600 S. Jupiter Road in Allen.
The state alleges the businesses falsely claimed to provide legitimate childcare services “in part to fraudulently sponsor H-1B visas for employees.”
There needs to be a crackdown at the national level on par with what Paxton is doing in Texas.
The filing heavily references recent reporting by Blaze TV and Texas Scorecard personality Sara Gonzales, who visited the Allen address and “did not find any child-care at all.” Instead, according to the petition, she found “an empty building and a playground overgrown with vegetation.”
The lawsuit also cites Gonzales’ interview with an individual familiar with the property who allegedly claimed Yao “sells visas” and sponsors workers who are then paid “next to nothing.”
According to the petition, the defendants filed visa petitions and labor condition applications for positions including software developers, business intelligence analysts, financial analysts, web developers, and market research analysts.
The state alleges those filings were tied to childcare facilities “which were not in operation.”
Texas also alleges neither Allen Infant Care Center nor DFW ABA Center is licensed to operate as a childcare facility.
How do you even obtain government subsidies to run a child care if you’re not licensed to run a child care? Is that not a step in the process? Does no one check?
It’s like the entire system was designed from the ground up to enable fraud.
The attorney general’s office is seeking temporary and permanent injunctions blocking the defendants from advertising or operating childcare facilities in Texas without licenses, along with civil penalties under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and Human Resources Code.
“Let this be a warning to anyone considering trying to scam the H-1B visa program,” Paxton said. “I will continue fighting to ensure that the H-1B program serves the interests of Americans, not Chinese nationals, and that those who abuse the program are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
Yao had enough red flags that it shouldn’t have taken an investigative reporter interviewing him to put him on the government’s radar. Is it too much to ask that various federal agencies to least start with combing their database for non-citizens collecting big subsidy checks?

Was anyone hired by these companies under the H1B program? If so, they should also be deported.
Unbelievable that in this day and age the government won’t due even the most basic due diligence to prevent fraud.
The Libertarians, who are IMO wrong on so many things, are quite right about one big thing: Government is appallingly crappy and inept at almost everything they do. The only things they are relatively better and more efficient at are probably things they should not be doing at all.
Governor Mike DeWine was forced to initiate Medicaid fraud prevention program after it was announced that the feds had opened an investigation into irregularities.

Nearly one-third of Ohioans are receiving Medicaid benefits, which suggests that there are insufficient resources available to manage it correctly.
If Vivek Ramaswamy is Ohio’s next Governor, I imagine there will be a concerted effort made to address this.
Can we have a class action suit against everyone in government since 2001 other than Trump to get our GD money back?
So damned mad that our money has been stolen, kickbacks to government to cover it given and done for DECADES! Why the heck had no one been tarred and feathered? 1 billion guns but no itchy trigger fingers.
