Six of Shrimp Boy Chow’s Co-Defendents Plead Guilty

Thursday, September 10th, 2015

Via Dwight comes word that “Six defendants in the sweeping criminal prosecution of Raymond ‘Shrimp Boy’ Chow, part of a public corruption and organized crime investigation that ensnared a once-prominent Democratic politician, pleaded guilty on Wednesday, prosecutors said.”

For those playing along on the home game:

  • George Nieh pleaded guilty to every count filed against him, including 146 counts of money laundering and a slew of weapons and drug charges.
  • Leslie Yun pleaded guilty to five counts of money laundering and drug-related charges.
  • Kevin Siu pleaded guilty to eight of the 24 money laundering counts against him, and
  • Alan Chiu pleaded guilty to 13 of 36 money laundering charges.
  • Yat Wa Pau pleaded guilty to trafficking in contraband cigarettes and admitted to his involvement in sales of contraband cigarettes worth more than $300,000.
  • Andy Li pleaded guilty to felony possession of a firearm along with money laundering and marijuana possession.
  • Funny how California Democratic State Senator Leland Yee, the ostensible “big fish” in the investigation, plead guilty to a single charge, while Nieh (who was reportedly one of Chow’s closest associates), plead guilty to everything.

    And Chow’s own trial is still pending…
