BUILD THEN REBUILD THE SAME
CAR - LOOK LIKE "YOU'RE WORKING"
It was all a show – four minutes
Whistle-blower speaks out
against Terry McAuliffe's GreenTech and its questionable dealings with
cash-for-visas on MWC-TV.
"We would stand over
the car with tools in our hand and look like we were doing something to the
car, but we wasn't doing anything," said the former employee.
U.S. CITIZENSHIP ON SALE
FOR $500,000
81 INVEST IN GREEN TECH

McAuliffe company pressed
Homeland official on 81 investor visas
Watch Dog – Tori Richards – 7/24/2013
Emails between Alejandro
Mayorkas and attorneys working for GreenTech Automotive show the company
pressed the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director to speed
processing of 81 investor applications in a federal “cash-for-visas” program
after each invested at least $500,000 in the hybrid car company.
The GreenTech controversy is
magnified because of its many
political connections to the federal government. It’s owned by Virginia gubernatorial
candidate Terry McAuliffe, who announced his resignation as company chairman in
April amidst an
intense investigation by Watchdog. The company’s fundraising arm, Gulf Coast,
is headed by Bill Clinton’s brother-in-law Anthony Rodham. USCIS authorized the
company to solicit investors through the government’s EB-5 program, which
awards visas to foreign
“Undue delay by USCIS in
reviewing our (petitions) has jeopardized our marketing efforts, as prospective
investors are reluctant to invest in GTA without seeing our petition approval
record,” wrote Simone Williams.
A week later, Rodham
followed with his own email, complaining that he was inundated with questions
from the USCIS seeking additional information.
The legal database
Lexis/Nexis shows GreenTech and Gulf Coast are related, sharing the same McLean, Va.,
address through February 2013.
