Florida, United States 🇺🇸: A 23-year-old Indian 🇮🇳 Hindu Man named Atharva Shailesh Sathawane has been Sentenced to 18 years in Prison for Scamming Senior Citizens in the U.S. and for Overstaying his Student Visa.

Karan Gupta is the perfect blueprint for how corruption actually operates in our American economy now that we have opened the borders.

Here’s what happened:

A senior director at Optum (UnitedHealth Group subsidiary) hired his lifelong friend into a high-paying managerial data engineering role using a fake resume. The friend was completely unqualified and did zero real work for nearly four years. He collected a six-figure salary plus bonuses, and kicked more than half of it straight back to Gupta in cash via bank transfers. Total fraud: over $1.2 million. Gupta was convicted on wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering charges just days ago.

You want to know why H1B are so prevalent despite their fake credentials and missing skills are filling every role in large companies? How this extends to Universities, Government contracts, and expands like a virus? Understand everyone gets a kickback while you pay for it either as a consumer, shareholder, or a taxpayer. Politicians through lobbyists that approve the contracts, board of directors who each get a chunk of the action, and it just dribbles down the pyramid.

I witnessed this myself and wrote about it in my subscriber series- I had a VP insist I use a contractor for services that we did not need. Ended up they were trying to pass off icons that were freeware as something that deserved to be High Value for our HMI/GUI of a medical device product we were releasing. Yeah ends up nearly everyone from legal to the VP himself 'owned' the LLC of the contractor. I actually heard the CEO of that same company complain to me that there was NO WAY he was going to issue the profit from our products to the shareholders. I went to the SEC- they said yup this is how they drain companies from the inside.

This isn’t rare. This is the standard operating model.
How the scam actually works (engineer’s view):

Someone with influence (politician on the government side, executive or “trusted” manager on the corporate side) green-lights the contract or the hire.

Work is either fake, massively over-scoped, or completely unnecessary.
The vendor or “consultant” bills huge inflated amounts.

A cut flows back as kickbacks - cash, offshore wires, family jobs, luxury perks. Remittance is simply stealing from American Government and Institutions to fund overseas economies.

The cycle repeats until the budget is drained dry.
Taxpayers (public contracts) or shareholders (private companies) pay every penny.

Why they keep getting away with it:
We live in a high-trust society. We still assume that executives, managers, and “leaders” are acting in good faith. We give them the benefit of the doubt because that’s how American industry used to work.
But the warning signs are always the same:

Teams suddenly filled with people picked for reasons other than merit (same hometown, same university, same ethnic clique, same visa pipeline).

Honest engineers who ask questions or push back on fake work get treated as outsiders, sidelined, or pushed out. The big issue they have? Too many Americans took an oath as a scout to follow God and do good.

Cliques form where loyalty to the group matters more than loyalty to the mission or the numbers.
Dissent is labeled “not a team player” while the cash keeps flowing.

Add the offshoring layer and it becomes almost bulletproof.

Once the work or the billing is routed through Indian or Chinese subsidiaries, even if the parent company is technically American, the money slips out of the easy reach of U.S. regulators. Audits slow down. Jurisdiction gets muddy. Tracing the kickbacks becomes exponentially harder.

The same company can now say “that was our foreign entity” while American taxpayers and shareholders eat the loss.

This is why the endless push for more offshoring isn’t just about cheaper labor. It’s about moving the extraction machine outside the spotlight of American accountability.

Engineers and professionals see this first because we’re the ones forced to pretend the fake work is real.

How to report it (practical steps):

If you see the pattern:

TruckerJeet breaks down in the middle of nowhere, the bill for service dispatched to his location is LESS than the quoted amount, and it still tries to haggle on price.

As if just subjecting animals to proximity to Indians wasn’t already cruel enough, these Jeetards are forcing alcohol into this cow’s mouth.
