Avast, me hearties! The scallywag runnin' a rogue lab in Central California be in deeper trouble than a landlubber in a tempest! A federal crew of jurors be throwin' 12 more charges at him, includin' conspiracy and wire fraud. A right jolly mess, I say! Arrr!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round fer a tale of treachery and tomfoolery from the shores of Central California! The federal scallywags be makin' new charges against two nefarious rascals, Jia Bei Zhu and Zhaoyan Wang, who be runnin' a rogue biolab. Zhu, a 62-year-old swab from China, be already in hot water fer sellin' fake COVID-19 test kits, but now he's joined by his matey Wang, a mere 38-year-old, who be his partner in crime and, might I add, romance!From August 2020 to March 2023, these two buccaneers conspired to swindle unsuspectin' buyers with hundreds of thousands of test kits from a Chinese crew they controlled, claimin' they were crafted in the good ol' U.S. of A. They even had the audacity to mislabel 'em as pregnancy test kits to sneak 'em past the regulators, savvy?
When health inspectors finally stormed their den, they found a veritable treasure trove of trouble: nearly 1,000 lab mice, some deceased, and vials of who-knows-what, includin' human blood! Zhu and Wang pocketed over $1.7 million from their dastardly deeds, but their luck be runnin' dry, as they face 20 years in Davy Jones' locker if caught. So, raise a mug to justice, me mateys, and may these knaves be brought to heel!
