Hooi Keat Chai has lost a battle to keep his name suppressed.
He's been convicted of providing false and misleading information to Immigration New Zealand and of presenting a fraudulent work visa on five occasions.
Chai is the sole director and shareholder of Team NZ Construction Ltd.
It's one of the 10 companies targeted in an operation to disrupt the flow of illegal workers from Malaysia.
Chai will be sentenced later in the year.
