| The Fair Labor Standards Act has been on the books since 1938. Hard to see other than a criminal act to brush away with lines like "We unintentionally overlooked laws that require even foreign employees to be paid based on local US standards." This is the tech industry funding and pushing the amnesty agenda. This should have been handled with a RICO action rather than a simple labor law violation due to the blatant disregard of the FLSA. Lesson applied once again, be a big donor to avoid the consequences of your acts. |

| #3 do not tell those IT guys but they can travel to Mexico, buy a sombrero and walk into the US and earn 8 times that rate. Plus many many perks, benefits and just a few more weeks to amnesty. |

| #2 Old story. Contract with a consulting firm staffed by low pay H1b asians for a high fee, wash the fee and kick it back. The low pay to staffers is a contract between them and the consulting firm and legally separable (i.e. invisible). FLSA does not apply to code whores. |
