United StatesAn undocumented Indian immigrant named Siddharth Jawahar, who ran a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme defrauding Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce and others, attempted to marry a U.S. citizen, Caroline Tredway, to potentially avoid deportation, according to court records. Federal prosecutors opposed the marriage, alleging it could be an attempt to gain immigration status. Jawahar's attorney argued the marriage was genuine and that Tredway was willing to support the union financially. Jawahar was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison and ordered to pay $31 million in restitution. During a monitored phone call, Jawahar suggested that marrying Tredway would reduce his chances of being deported. Tredway claimed they began a relationship in early 2023 and expressed a desire to legitimize their marriage before Jawahar's sentencing. The case highlights the intersection of immigration law, criminal justice, and personal relationships.
