To members of Toronto’s Jewish community he was Rabbi Avraham David, a Torah scholar and author.

But to U.S. investigators he was Earl Seth David, a New York lawyer they allege is behind one of the biggest immigration scams in American history.

David was extradited to the U.S. on Wednesday and appeared in a New York court, where he pleaded not guilty to charges that include conspiracy to commit immigration fraud, making false statements to immigration authorities and money laundering.

But David, 47, was no rabbi. He’d fled the U.S. in 2006 as authorities closed in on his massive immigration scam.

They allege David made millions of dollars processing up to 25,000 falsified immigration applications.

David operated a law firm where he and his cohorts allegedly forged documents to bolster people’s applications to stay in the United States, including employment offers from phoney sponsors.
