The alleged Ponzi scheme ties an EB-5 investor program championed by Jay Peak Ski Resort, a popular 78-trail mountain in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, which raised over $350 million from foreign investors to expand its facilities and create local jobs. The EB-5 program, supported by the State of Vermont and both of its Senators, Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy, offered foreigners the opportunity to invest between $500,000 to $1 million in developments that projected returns of 2% to 6% and a pathway to U.S. citizenship within two years.

understanding why people could do devious, deceitful and dishonest things until I realized that the people that do them just assume everybody else does as a justification for their own behavior.

I've learned a lot studying politics, and this particular election has been a real eye opener.

I think they claim everyone else does it and rely on the way we tend to believe people in power positions.
