A new lawsuit accuses Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia and Hillary Clinton’s brother Anthony Rodham of stealing the “money and dreams” of a group of Chinese investors who propped up a troubled electric-car company, believing they would gain U.S. residency.

The investors filed suit in Fairfax County, Virginia, last week against the automaker, GreenTech Automotive, McAuliffe, Clinton's brother, company CEO Charles Wang and various related companies. The plaintiffs, seeking at least $17.9 million in repayment, accuse the defendants of milking political connections to perpetuate a $120 million scam.

"Plaintiffs now face the prospect of having to uproot their families once again, with the expense and stress of deportation to China looming before them," the lawsuit says.


McAuliffe is set to leave office in January and is often mentioned as a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.

Pitched nearly a decade ago as a revolutionary company that would use foreign investments to build a new line of energy-efficient cars that would create jobs in the impoverished Mississippi Delta, GreenTech -- which closed a factory in Robinsonville, Mississippi earlier this year -- has failed to live up to those promises and has been a magnet for controversy.

McAuliffe served as chairman of GreenTech before leaving the company in 2012 to run for governor. Rodham helped run an associated fund designed to attract foreign money from investors intent on green cards.

Rodham declined an Associated Press request for comment. A GreenTech representative did not immediately return an AP email seeking comment.

Documents obtained by AP show that the Department of Homeland Security decided to reject a number of visa requests made through Rodham's fund because GreenTech had created so few jobs.

The lawsuits were first reported by Politico. The Virginia suit alleges that the governor and his associates "exploited" investors' desire to become permanent residents with an implicit message: "Invest $500,000 in our electric car company, and will leverage our political connections to ensure your immigration papers will get to the top of the pile."

there is an EB-5 program of some sort that is used a lot by Chinese investors in particular to get here swiftly. It is based around investing 500K, job creation/etc...and it comes with monetary risks.

didn't read much of the above but the terms sound familiar to me to programs I have heard of for a while on the news.

ah.

I guess I'm not sure connections are even necessary.
Maybe they are mad that it was a bad investment so back they go, over the Great Wall (of China).

There is so much wrong with your statement... all packed into 12 words.

Do you realize you just openly acknowledged by stating "some truth in it" that you don't expect truth to be the main component?

You should be railing against the falsehoods, not supporting tripe that you are sure might have "some truth in it"...

As to your idiotic statement, no. I'm not going to read it because it's just another one of drafter's masturbatory fantasy postings.. He does this every other week, posts an article about someone who is not president, or anywhere in politics, written by someone who doesn't care that their work is the equivalent of cheap capri sun juice "contains 10% real truth extract!*", and furiously pounds his tiny erection from under his overhanging, hairy gut.

Meanwhile there is actual news out there (you know, Alabama electing a pedophile, the orange menace doing dumb things daily, the cheeto-in-chief trying to run our nation like a banana republic) going on daily that doesn't get posted here.

It's fodder for the dumb. My time is much better spent making fun of the dumb, and mocking people who are sure those articles are super important for us to see.





* truth extract is from 1946 census data and in no way relates to Clinton

Doesn't really matter what is in Drafters OP, the comment was just a take on your own words in the past 48 hours. Just wanted to see how far you would run in to the ditch with it.

You never disappoint.
