Not sure why you are getting downvoted, but this

> THEN set up some illegal contract with the employee that says that if you leave before 2 years, the engineer has to pay back 10s of thousands of dollars

is true, and VERY prevelant with Indian 'Companies' [called 'Bodyshoppers'] that abuse the H1B visa program. Some even hold your passport hostage (which is also VERY ILLEGAL). Again, speaking from personal experience of some of my Indian friends who came here on H1B around the same time as me...

Holding someone's passport should be prison time, and not a small amount.
