What did he do originally that caused there to be more investigation. I notice no articles list what his original fraud was that got him fired....Was it selling data?

This wasn’t the only fraud he committed plus there is more of this in the organization but the companies turn a blind eye.
kickbacks, featherbedding, unproductive hiring, and C-suite fraud are widespread in the U.S. white-collar economy because Wall Street investors trust executives who claim Indian graduates are more productive and profitable than American professionals.
This investors’ trust in their imported Indian managers has created many corporate fraud scandals, most often within the pyramid or “layer system” of favored Indian-run staffing contractors under each Fortune 500 company.

"For almost four years, the friend did “no work at all for Optum,” according to the Department of Justice, while collecting a salary that started at $100,000 and increased with raises and bonuses each year, according to the release.

So - just another day for Indian tech. Lie, cheat, and BS your way to success, then be sure to pull that ladder up behind you for lower caste people and non-Indians. Be sure to be an immature, raging lunatic manager, too - that'll show 'em.
What’s up with all these immigrants and their fraud
@aa sentencing is next
So what happens to this joker? I see he lost the case but what exactly are his consequences? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
I guarantee this is commonplace among the Indian crowd. What I saw in my time in this cesspool of a company made no sense.
