The Jewish Telegraphic Agency website reports today (October 17, 2011) that a former lawyer -- who calls himself a rabbi -- was arrested in Toronto on October 11, and is facing extradition to the United States for allegedly running a massive immigration fraud scheme.
U.S. authorities contend that Earl Seth David -- who goes by the name Avraham David and lives the life of a rabbi -- has run a multimillion dollar operation for 15 years that provided fake papers for thousands of undocumented immigrants.
David, 47, passed the bar exam in New York in 1988 and practiced law in that state until his license was suspended -- in an unrelated incident -- in 2004.
In Toronto -- for fees up to $30,000 -- David allegedly supplied clients with fake documentation, stating that they had been sponsored by U.S. employers to help them immigrate to the U.S. and secure legal status.
