Shouldn't decent monitoring system catch things like these live? Order swapping between states unusually amount of times should raise alarm somewhere.

Also took quite sometime to notice these issues if it was carried over multiple months.

    Devagiri faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and is scheduled for a status hearing in September.
