SEC Gets Immigration Atty DQ'd In EB-5 Scam Suit

The SEC alleges that attorney Taher Kameli lined his own pockets with some of the nearly $89 million he collected from a variety of mostly Chinese and Iranian investors who put money into senior-living construction projects in Illinois and Florida in the hopes of gaining permanent U.S.
