Crazy how this guy could get away with this for so long .

This guy is a big shot in the Persian community in L.A , owner of about 100 car washes and gas stations in L.A

He won a humanitarian award pretty ironic

In the tight-knit diaspora of Persians who migrated to Southern California in the wake of the Iranian Revolution, Vahid David Delrahim is a figure of note.

The owner of some 100 Southern California car washes and gas stations, he has been feted in Beverly Hills as a major donor to the Jewish National Fund which raises millions of dollars a year for Israeli settlements.

Through one of his companies, Platinum Energy, Delrahim was named last November as the buyer of a $9.1 million home in Hidden Hills, the neighborhood that also houses Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus


The U.S. Department of Labor has charged Delrahim and his managers with cheating some 700 workers at a dozen of his facilities in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura counties over a five-year period, failing to pay minimum wage and overtime

Not the first time that's happened with these carwash chains not only in L.A.

Rich immigrant exploiting poor immigrants.

Can we deport this creep? But seriously, they better not let this guy out on bail because he can flee to Israel, where he's untouchable since the U.S. does not have an extradition treaty with Israel.

Yeah. Trump -- or some president with courage -- should announce on TV that he's suspending all aid to Israel until Israel turns over all the criminals hiding from U.S. justice.

How many Americans know that Jewish criminals can flee to Israel, and find sanctuary there away from U.S. justice? Is this how our "greatest friend and ally" behaves? Interfering in our elections, shaking us down for money, then hiding fugitives from our justice system?

Some political parties never wanted to give up their slaves.

I mean I could see if it was a few or couple people accusing him ... but 700??

Not the kind of immigrant that deserves to live in America .

how about the patrons? do you think they will have their cars hand washed if the owner pays the legal wage and charge the corresponding price, probably $100?

Of course not, they'll go to the automated touch-less wash for $8.
