🚨BREAKING: A suburban Chicago man was just sentenced to two years in federal prison for organizing hundreds of staged armed robberies so fake “victims” could apply for U-visas. Parth Nayi, 29, of Woodridge, ran the scheme from 2022 to 2024. He recruited people, paid store owners to use their businesses, coordinated fake robbers, and coached the participants. Each fake victim paid him $5,000 to $30,000. The staged robberies happened at coffee shops, restaurants, liquor stores, and gas stations across the country so the “victims” could claim they were crime victims and apply for the special visas meant for real victims who help law enforcement. Judge Mary Rowland sentenced him to two years — a year more than prosecutors requested — and fined him $50,000. Prosecutors called him the main organizer at the center of nearly every staged robbery and said he significantly corrupted the U-visa program. This is what happens when the system is not checked. The Department of Justice is now checking.

🚨JUST IN: An American Airlines flight attendant used her free travel perks to fly to Florida and help scam a 75-year-old woman out of more than $25,000. Destiny Blake, 24, of Brooklyn, was arrested at Miami International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on a Flagler County warrant. Authorities say the scheme began with a fake Publishers Clearing House call telling the victim she had won. She was directed to send a $500 gift card and later withdrew over $14,000, with Blake receiving $14,220 in cash and Zelle payments. Blake then flew standby from New York to Daytona Beach using her employee benefits, stayed in Palm Coast, and visited the victim’s home for about 15 minutes. Investigators later linked her to 88 unauthorized charges totaling over $10,500 on the victim’s cards, including Apple products, Uber rides, and an eBay order shipped to her address. Total losses: approximately $25,310. Sheriff Rick Staly said most flight attendants use their benefits to see the world, but Blake used hers to target a senior. She faces felony charges for organized fraud against a victim over 65, identity theft, and grand theft. She was released on a $30,000 bond.
