Rule of law trumps everything. Once you start giving special treatment for individuals you do not know where you will end up. I am not saying that this is not happening at all, but law needs to be uphold. Assuming his stay is against the visa law he should definitely leave, and he did the right thing to leave. I am not saying that the laws are perfect either. It took me 9 years to get my permanent residency, so I am someone who has been through the process. I also found article a bit biased, in the sense that it does not give proper detail about his visa status and in what terms he was allowed to the country and why he was asked to leave.

How much sense of security do you feel? Of course, ventura capital and startup culture in US is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world.
