by a federal jury on charges that she netted $5.9 million while running a
fake university that was a front for foreign students seeking to establish U
.S. immigration status.
Susan Su, 43, who operated Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, was found
guilty of wire and mail fraud, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, visa fraud,
use of a false document, making false statements to a government agency,
alien harboring, unauthorized access to a government computer and money
laundering.
Su was remanded into custody by U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San
Francisco pending her sentencing June 20.
Su accepted money from foreigners, mostly Indians, in exchange for what was
purported to be tuition and fees for what was described as a "Christian
higher education institution," federal prosecutors said. She used proceeds
from the scheme to buy commercial real estate, a Mercedes-Benz and numerous
homes, including a mansion on the Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton.
Su illegally obtained visa documents "without regard to the students'
academic qualifications or intent to pursue a course of study required to
maintain a lawful immigration status," authorities said.
Prosecutors said Indian nationals paid $2,700 a semester in tuition for visa
-related documents that allowed them to live and work in the country on
student immigration status.
Three purported university professors testified that they never allowed Su
to use their credentials in connection with the institution, and many
employees told the jury that the university "had no requirements for
admission or graduation," prosecutors said, adding, "Su routinely instructed
her staff to fabricate fraudulent transcripts."
The alien-harboring conviction stemmed in part from evidence showing Su had
one of her student employees paint her house and move furniture, authorities
said.
Four other defendants charged in the case - Vishal Dasa, Anji Reddy
Dirisinala, Ramakrishna Reddy Karra and Tushar Tambe - each pleaded guilty
last year to conspiracy to commit unauthorized access of a government
computer as part of "cooperation plea agreements," court records show. | o**********e
