Mindvalley CEO Says FBI Stopped Him at Miami Airport Despite O-1 Visa

His account is based on his own video, with no independent verification.

Overview

  • Vishen Lakhiani says two FBI agents questioned him after landing in Miami and asked for his WhatsApp number and social media handles.
  • He says he told agents he runs an American company with about 230 employees and has paid U.S. taxes for 22 years.
  • In a video he posted, Lakhiani calls the encounter disheartening and ties it to what he sees as rising xenophobia in U.S. politics.
  • The Times of India reports he also said agents asked about travel to Istanbul, Dubai and Brazil.
  • Coverage cites his social posts; Hindustan Times states it has not independently verified the claims, and no FBI response was reported.
