or can they just run a fork off the Russian connection? Might as well throw in the Saudis while we're at it...

(8,203 posts)on the trail of Li "Cindy" Yang and husband for some time..this raid, in my opinion, didn't JUST happen..perhaps there is a bigger fish they want - and are giving them leeway to totally be able to take down an entire criminal entity..we just don't know how deep this goes...How long has Yang and hubby been in US?

She and hubby opened an LLC - 2017 - GY US Investments LLC, in 2017 -
The website has since stopped working. But according to Mother Jones, the site said that its activities for clients included providing them the opportunity to interact with the president, the [American] Minister of Commerce and other political figures.
Orchids of Asia Day Spa, which Yang had founded years earlier. Yang is no longer the spas owner and has not been charged with any crime. In 2013, Yang sold the spa to Hua Zhang, who has been charged with racketeering and running a house of prostitution. She pleaded not guilty. - good grief//2013????

(34,661 posts)Chinese are tribal in nature and are true Capitalist. Only dealt Real Estate twice with two Chinese Families. They prefer Cash,and that could be in the form of Gold,Silver,Rare Coins,Jewelry,and Paper Currency. Makes for interesting closing sessions. And Family Members contribute to most purchases. Again in both cases,they operated a Restaurant and we have all heard the phrase,cash in King.
The stories about Brief Cases of Cash are true.
