Yup, the thing that is even MORE interesting is that these positions can be classified as more relating to research which has much lower wage requirements. So the employee may be writing software for your business but she is paid like an academic researcher.

Some of them are doing it out in the open[0]

Some companies use Universities to hire foreign Software engineer with the title of "Research Associate", lower wage, same job. Then claiming that they are recruiting the best in the world while providing a very low wage (research associate prevailing wage instead of SE). It can get worse, I have a friend that has been under a J1 for years, while he is not a student anymore. The company pays a student salary (2k/month) instead of a H1B prevailing wage.
