An illegal alien from China pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers that departed from the Port of Long Beach, California, and for committing this crime at the direction of North Korean government officials, who wired him approximately $2 million for his efforts… In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped. [More]
How did he pass NICS? How did he get an FFL? What was the name of his business? And where were all Joe Biden’s “zero tolerance” IOIs?
Funny, how “news” accounts by “real reporters” don’t seem to be curious.
How much more attention did he need to call to himself? Is it wrong to wonder if anyone’s palms were getting greased? Including not just his ATF overseers, but agents at docks approving shipments to hostile nations…?
What a Democrat dilemma that this illegal alien criminal will face deportation once he’s served his sentence. I can see heads exploding trying to figure which side to take.
UPDATE
Looks from the criminal complaint that he used “straw purchasers.”
I’m still not clear on what this “firearms business in Houston” is about, but then with all the stuff I gotta do today, I’ve only had time to scan the complaint, not go through it line-by-line.
