- angry_octet 7y agoAmazing evidence that he knew it was illicit. Quite ironic too, considering how many Chinese are trying to get money out of China. If he had started a company on the side (legal) then the Chinese could have bought it (legal) for a fortune. Lesson is, get legal advice!
- cm2187 7y agoBut pretty much every western bank sends all bank details of US nationals to the US, under the threat of heavy penalty.
- angry_octet 7y agoWhat is your point? That he is entitled to engage in tax avoidance?
- cm2187 7y agoThat there is no point to open a bank account outside of China if he is trying to hide the money from the US.
- kaybe 7y agoHave you tried getting money transfered internationally? At my level of understanding I can find many legit reasons for this course of action.
- angry_octet 7y agoHe could have asked them to deposit it into his US bank account, it really isn't that hard to do a wire transfer. It doesn't make sense to pay $30 in fees when you are only sending $500, but for $50k its a blip. For Chinese citizens it isn't easy, but for govt and institutions it is.
- koheripbal 7y agoHe literally had an operational lab in Wuhan at WUT, WHILE working on US DoD contracts. ...I mean, how blatant can you get?
