I especially feel for the H-1Bs who were tricked into working for this character. Because they require a sponsor to remain in the US, leaving the company would also mean leaving the country and giving up a huge opportunity. Working through an unfamiliar justice system in an attempt to recover their wages is also very risky, especially if they realize the company is broke. I hope some good will come to them but I suspect this will just be a "life experience."

Having being fired and then having to leave the country.

The worst part about the thing is how dehumanizing it feels.

"Here you have paid taxes for years ! please leave now, we just valued you for your economical output"

It made me a stronger individual as a result, I know I am not owned anything. But you still develop an emotional link to your environment after being there for a while.
