"He gave the IRS a document claiming that the shell company bought and sold "produce" for him — $71 million worth of fruit and vegetables"
"Lysich did confirm to The News-Journal that the application he submitted in 2015 to use foreign investors through the EB-5 visa program was approved a year ago by U.S."
"Being named an EB-5 "center" allows $1 million investments by up to 40 foreign nationals in exchange for equity in the project and possible visas that allow them into the United States."
