Two Defendants Plead Guilty to Federal Charges Filed in Connection with Oakland-Based EB-5 Visa Investment Scheme

DOJ (US Attorney, N.D. Cal.) press release of 22 July 2021: Thomas Henderson (San Francisco Regional Center) and Cooper Lee plead guilty (already an event). Figures: SFRC raised more than $100 million from foreign investors for seven EB-5 enterprises in 2011-2017; funds from 42 investors in North America 3PL LP used for other projects (amount not stated); statutory maximum penalties. Case-level figures describe the case and are in the existing event's description where relevant; they are not programme statistics and match no indicator (no amount of investor money misused is stated). Programme rules restated in the release (minimum investment $1,000,000 / $500,000 in targeted employment areas, 10 jobs, two-year conditional residence) are already in program_terms from primary sources.
