Coe student pleads guilty to making false Social Security Card

The Gazette

CEDAR RAPIDS ? Coe College student Vivek Shrestha, 22, of Nepal, pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to using a computer and scanner at Coe Collage Library in an attempt to make false Social Security Card so he could obtain employment in the United States.

Shrestha had a restricted Social Security Card which could not be used to obtain employment . He attempted to scan the card and remove the employment restriction, records show. He intended to use the counterfeit card to apply for employment in Washington D.C.

Shrestha remains free on bond. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, a $ 250,000 fine and three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.

Just one unlucky dude:
There are quite few nepalese who rub off the restriction from the SS card or make photocopies and then edit etc.
But usually, they use that to work in small places; not in a government office.
As it is said before, working without card is a lot better than forging documents.
Let's hope he gets by with some sort of fine.
Vivek's best deal would be go back home instead of going to jail here.
