SAN JOSE – Jennifer Yang and her business partner Daniel Wu
were charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and a number of
related crimes in connection with a scheme to fraudulently obtain immigration benefits
through the government’s “EB-5” visa program, announced United States Attorney
Brian J. Stretch; U.S. State Department, Diplomatic Security Service, San
Francisco Field Office Special Agent in Charge Matthew Perlman; and U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI) Special Agent in Charge Ryan L. Spradlin. The superseding
indictment alleges that Yang and Wu submitted to the government fraudulent
documents that claimed applicants were creating new commercial enterprises
when, in fact, the documents contained information about fake jobs and bogus
investments.
