They didn't just lie and break the law. Mast used his privilege as a weapon to make sure him and his wife could illegally adopt this baby from a couple who had lost everything short of their lives. They had nothing and this scumbag wanted more.

He and his wife have also changed the little girl's name to an American one. That's a sure indication they intend to disconnect her from her heritage. If they keep her there's a good chance she'd come to hate them as an adult if / when she finds out with they've done. Absolute psychopaths.
