I am curious if this Mr. Lal Bhatia is a U.S. citizen or an illegal?
What nationality is he? I don't know about you but I am fed up with people coming here from other countries taking advantage of Americans. Also, because our prisons are so crowded these criminals, especially Lal Bhatia, will doubtfully not fulfill his complete sentence.....and the financial restitution, what a joke!! How do you get blood out of a turnip? By the way, notice how short their incarcerations are? Berger gets "ONE DAY" in prison! Now that's real punishment! NOT! This article doesn't say what the sentence is for Lal Bhatia or Shelton, his co-conspirator. Hmmmmm??? do you see any justice here? I sure don't!

Hey CW,
What would make you think Lal Bhatia is not a US citizen? That is a strange question. I don't see any reference to anything in the article that would make you think Lal Bhatia is not a US citizen.

yea CW, why dont you asked about whether Shelton is also an illegal, Shelton sounds pretty English to me, Must be an illegal Brit, and Henri Berger, probably some Frenchie
