A San Gabriel-based attorney pleaded guilty Monday to an immigration fraud scheme that generated more than $50 million in profits by selling temporary green cards to foreign investors. Victoria Chan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit visa fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and international money laundering. Chan, 35, of El Monte ran San Gabriel-based California Investment Immigration Fund with her father. Chan has agreed to give up eight properties worth nearly $25 million linked to the scheme, prosecutors said. The scheme started in Garden Grove and shifted later to San Gabriel, prosecutors said.
