But issued real visas

The US State Department says Ghanaian and Turkish organised crime rings were running the fake embassy complete with a US flag and a portrait of President Barack Obama "unhindered... for about a decade".

The State Department said the embassy provided some customers "fraudulently obtained, legitimate US visas" as well as counterfeit visas, false identification documents (including bank records, education records, birth certificates, and others).

If they were able to do this for so long I wonder what that means about how easy it is to fradulently get a legitimate US visa

I bet we saved a bunch of money on visa processing. Out sourcing and offshoring FTW!

Fake it till you make it! It's not funny. But it's kind of funny.
