TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Authorities raided 17 Chinese restaurants around Michigan that they suspect of ducking millions of dollars in taxes and importing undocumented workers as a “modern version of indentured servants.”
Search warrants were also served at 21 homes of suspected undocumented Chinese workers. Dozens were involved in the scheme, State Police Lt. Curt Schram said.
“It cost them X number of dollars to come to this country and they’re trying to work off that debt,” Schram said.
FYI: The real Chin R. Lee (Robert Lee) is a grad student either at U of M Dearborn or Wayne State if I’m not mistaken. You can meet him in person in here about once a week.
Sorry to seriously hijack this thread, but Tom- you work with Bob from Bianchi, no? I thought I remembered you saying that. Anyways, he is our rep for Bianchi and stopped by on Tuesday. He’s always in good spirits, has a tendency to give us free Gu (I have a bag of Vanilla Bean to go through now).
I’ve been working with Bob M. since the second job I had in the bike industry at age 19. He is an excellent Rep. and a great guy. He is one of the personalities that make this job good.
