Had a fun day today.
2 weeks ago an Indian (US Citizen) IT employee called ICE on his own department because he heard that many of them were here on fake H1-B Visas. 25 employees were arrested out of 100ish.
He was correct. After talking to his leadership he also informed them that many here legally,but we're hired under false pretenses, because they had bought diplomas in India and never really got a degree. At this point management was worried they had been defrauded so they called me up to help them figure it out.
We ran all of the remaining employees hiring paperwork through some AI analytics today. Massive amounts of documents.
This included reading copies of diplomas, and and a ton of other personal documents. Training the AI analytics tool to look for irregularities in past work experience and education history.
As an example:
1.) Check to see if the school exists
2.) Check to see if the person who signed the diploma actually worked at the university
3.) check to see if the degree listed is actually taught at that university
4.) ETC ETC ETC.
We found that of the remaining 75 H1-b employees 50 of them had provided fake diplomas to either our company directly, or the contracting company they were hired through.
So out of this one department of 250 people, 100 ish were from India here on visas, and 75 of them had defrauded the company during the hiring process. Either providing fake visa paperwork or falsification of education.
Basically 75% lied.
Not sure what they are going to do about it yet, as across the IT organization they have 1500 ish H1-B visa employees and they cannot fire 75% of them right now even if they wanted to, but I do know they are running all current visa employees records through the tool, any new applicants as well, and will be firing anyone who lied as soon as they get replacement in line for them.
From the leadership I was working with:
"We have to remove them, we cannot keep employees who defraud the company even if they are good and cheap"

@shiri_shh i mean why not? i was able to build one small feature removing of background from any picture in about a week, then I am sure plenty of folks can do this easily and cheaper.
In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud.
Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match.
Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines.
Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past.
That's exactly what Altman wants you to think.
Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings...
A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion.
If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem.
Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this:
Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language.
xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity."
Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise.
An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits.
That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking.
Just look at what he did this week:
Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins.
Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally.
That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense.
He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back.
OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg.
They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy."
That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win.
Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak.
OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery.
Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion.
The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away.
And the timing couldn't be worse...
OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them.
A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth.
This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist.
Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama.
The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER.
And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.
NEW: Ten Indian nationals have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Boston in connection with a conspiracy to carry out staged armed robberies of convenience stores for the purpose of allowing store clerks to falsely claim they were crime victims on immigration applications. The defendants were previously charged by criminal complaint in March 2026.
