Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"Some of those scammed went to the US and wound up as illegal aliens because promised jobs didn't exist.
Brazilians seeking temporary working visas were charged up to $15,000 each in what a statement from the US Consulate called one of the largest cases of US visa fraud ever."
&
"Officials from the US Consulate in Sao Paulo said American lawyers suspected of involvement are under investigation but none has been charged."
