Overview

• A federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment June 26 charging Sun and her husband, Chris Hu, with honest services wire fraud, bank fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy against the U.S.
• Prosecutors allege the couple schemed to steer $35 million in New York State PPE contracts during the COVID-19 pandemic to two vendors run by Sun’s cousin and Hu, inflating prices and securing at least $2.3 million in kickbacks.
• Court filings state that New York wired nearly $45 million to those PPE companies between March and June 2020 after Sun falsely represented they were recommended by the Chinese government.
• Sun was previously indicted in September 2024 on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of China under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and related offenses.
• Sun and Hu are scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges next Monday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
