DENVER, Colorado -- The owner of a chain of Denver area Chinese restaurants is apologizing to his patrons and his community and now plans to plead guilty to charges of employing illegal immigrants.
A naturalized citizen from China, Louie Li would appear to be a shining example of the American dream. He lives in an exclusive subdivision above Castle Rock in a home that Douglas County values at more than $900,000. Li owns the restaurant South Garden, which has locations in Castle Rock, Parker and Denver.
In addition to being a restauranteur, Li is an owner of multiple properties. Records CBS4 examined show five homes in his family's name in Castle Rock, plus one in Parker. The total value of the properties is $2.3 million.
