A federal judge ordered a Newport Beach lawyer to pay $2.3 million in restitution and fines stemming from an alleged real estate and visa fraud case on the very day that his business partner got charged with the same crimes, court documents show.

Both men are accused of scamming more than 100 Chinese investors out of $9.5 million, part of the $72 million they put up in hopes of earning U.S. residency under the controversial EB-5 program, according to court documents filed Thursday, Sept. 27.
