Poonhill,

I think doing the right thing is better alternative than doing the best thing for yourself in the long run. This philosophy has really helped me.

I agree these guys are victims although running away was a very bad decision. I felt sorry looking at their faces in the video. For people who are still working in the factory, they may be able to use the legal channel to recover Rs. 17 lakh they paid. According to Nepali Post, the Nepali agent is in the US. They can go after the Nepali agent, the American Temporary Staffing Company that used Nepali Agents, and even Cinram itself. Cinram should have known what kind of staffing company they were using.

I hope these guys can get into contact with some pro-bono immigration lawyers/interest group in Alabama. Or they should tell the TV crew in the interview that the agents duped them $25K fees by luring them with attractive compensation and good lifestyle and bringing them to Alabama with $8/hr job.
