Los Angeles Federal immigration attorney gets 18 years for taking bribes

An LA immigration attorney was sentenced to 18 years in prison for taking bribes from illegal immigrants to let them stay in the country.  Apparently he netted over $400K.  Which actually isn't that much considering that he is an attorney for the federal government.  I can't figure out why someone making a salary in the low six figures plus benefits would need little bribes on top of that.

He got busted for taking $20K from a government witness in a casino.  It doesn't take a brain trust to figure out that if you are taking an envelope full of cash from someone as a bribe, you probably want to go somewhere without cameras everywhere.
