Chinese Billionaire Hui Qin Sentenced in U.S. for Election Fraud and Immigration Violations

Qin, who once led a major entertainment firm, receives a seven-month sentence for illegal political donations and other fraudulent activities.

Hui Qin, previously a billionaire, was sentenced by a New York federal court for orchestrating a straw donor scheme to influence U.S. elections.
Qin pleaded guilty to immigration fraud and using false identification, including obtaining a Florida driver's license under an alias.
The court ordered Qin's immediate deportation after serving his sentence, marking the end of his legal battle in the U.S.
Federal authorities highlighted the case as a significant victory in protecting election integrity and enforcing immigration laws.
Qin's fraudulent actions included transferring over $5 million from China to buy a luxury Manhattan apartment, using a government-provided alias.
