Mahender Makhijani, 44, a lawful permanent resident from India living in Corona del Mar, was arrested this morning on a federal criminal complaint charging him with defrauding a bank out of nearly $100 million.
Makhijani controlled Cantor Group V LLC, a Newport Beach-based company that had a lending agreement requiring it to pledge only first-lien real estate loans to the victim bank.
Makhijani falsified title policies from September 2024 to April 2025 to make it appear Cantor held first-lien positions when other creditors were ahead. Makhijani and a subordinate forged documents in Adobe, altered metadata, and submitted the falsified records to the victim bank, while also providing misleading explanations during calls and in spreadsheets.
If convicted, Makhijani faces a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison. He is expected to make his initial appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, California. All defendants are presumed innocent until convicted in court.
Our nation’s economy and welfare depend on a healthy banking system. When lenders are deceived, it has downstream effects on consumers and businesses.
Last night, @POTUS invited the hardworking men who renovated the Reflecting Pool to the Oval Office ❤️
Every man received a signed hat and a presidential challenge coin!
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
A University of California San Francisco registered nurse, Thomas Hummel, is facing mass backlash after telling a pro-life advocate that the best thing for him would have been for his mother to have “aborted him.”
Call and ask if this goes against his pledge to protect life.
Mike Vasquez was just kiIIed in a car crash in Idaho.
The drunken driver who sped through a stop sign and crashed into him was Nixon Amilcar Ixcoy Lix, an illegal from Guatemala.
Mike leaves behind a wife and three children who will now grow up without their father.
The three kids are in the hospital due to injuries from the crash. Please say a prayer for them.
How many more innocent Americans have to die at the hands of illegals?!
Help me expose her!
This is the new Lord Mayor of Belfast, Róis-Máire Donnelly, in her inauguration speech on 1 June 2026
During the speech she says:
"Diversity enriches our city, and the lives of all of our citizens, and I will champion that diversity"
Not even two weeks later diversity tried to behead a citizen. She should be removed as Lord Mayor.
Congressman Brandon Gill says diversity is not helping America, it’s destroying us
“The melting pot simply isn't melting. That's a problem. The foreign-born population is about as high as it's ever been in American history. What is the purpose of an immigration system? The purpose of our immigration system is to benefit our people.
Historically, American immigration was predicated on two key ideas. One of those was you cannot be what's called a public burden. In other words, you can't come into the country and immediately hop on welfare and expect the American people to pay for your food and your housing, your healthcare and everything else.
The second was a concept of cultural assimilation. You were expected to come into the United the United States and to become fully American, not a hyphenated American, you're expected to adopt our customs, our core beliefs, revere our heritage just like we do.
Part of the rationale behind drastically reducing legal immigration as well as illegal immigration is allow that assimilation to actually occur, for people to actually melt and recohere as an American society.”
Around 53% of households headed by foreign-born immigrants use at least one major means-tested welfare program
I saw some data that showed 70% of Mexicans that come to America are on welfare, I made a post about it previously
No immigrant should ever qualify for any welfare programs. They should be for American citizens and American taxpayers only
🚨For those who say there is NO election fraud in California:
The DOJ just prosecuted Brenda Brown for paying homeless people to register to vote under FALSE addresses.
OMG caught her on hidden camera doing this illegal activity in LA.
Americans want an H-1B pause, and they are going to get it, one way or another.
Americans are tired of their country being used as a job bank for foreign nationals, their opportunities sold off to the lowest bidders.
We introduced a Constitutional Amendment to ban dual citizens from holding federal office unless they formally and permanently relinquish every last tie to the foreign country first.
The people making our laws, leading our government, and sitting on our highest court should have one allegiance and one allegiance only: The United States of America.
America First.
You have to ask yourself…
Why does every single Muslim who is running for office want to defund the police, ban ICE and ban DHS?
At some point, you have to realize these Islamists want to witness the mass murder of innocent Americans in acts of jihad.
Karmelo Anthony’s mother didn’t use the money they raised for a legal defense fund.
She used it to self enrich herself with a new house, new car etc.
These people are sick.
CALIFORNIA VOTE IS RIGGED 🚨 Voters were rejecting a new sales tax increase in Los Angeles County but because of a ‘surge with late mail in ballots’ the sales tax increase PASSED
The same late mail in ballots that pushed Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt also pushed through Democrat’s sales tax increase
“I'm going to talk about one of the strangest results in the LA County — sales tax increase that will take the sales tax in Los Angeles County from a very high 9.75% to the almost unthinkable 10.25%, one of the highest in the country. Why did this happen? — Initially, it looked like Measure ER, the tax increase, was going to fail, but with late ballots coming in, especially for Nithya Raman, the tax increase passed.”
I found this new sales tax increase is expected to take a BILLION dollars per year from residents.
Again, they were rejecting it. But Democrats forged it through with mail in ballots
We need to put the SAVE America Act back on the Senate floor
And keep debating it until it passes
If we do that, it will pass
This would require a considerable investment of time and patience
But it would work
