WHAT IT TAKES TO GET DEPORTED: defrauding rich people.

A collector was sentenced to 10 years in prison in New York Thursday for making bogus vintage wine in his California kitchen, and selling it for millions of dollars. . . .

Before he was sentenced, Kurniawan twice apologized, saying “I’m really sorry” and expressing a desire to take care of his mother, who lives in California after receiving asylum.

Kurniawan, who moved to the United States at age 16, had his own request for political asylum turned down, and he was ordered deported in 2001. He continued to live in the United States after his appeal was rejected in 2003. He will be deported after he serves his sentence.

Alternatively, one can also be convicted 37 times: U.S. Border Patrol Deporting Illegal Alien with 37 Criminal Convictions in USA.

Agents determined that the suspect was in the United States illegally, and a check of the database showed that he has 37 convictions, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, on charges such as narcotics violations, assault on a federal officer, burglary and robbery.

A spokesman for the Buffalo CBP sector told CNSNews.com that the suspect’s first conviction came in 1982; the most recent was in 2007. Border Patrol says it first learned of the man on Saturday.
