Two Sacramento men were arraigned for allegedly buying a large number of
stolen smartphones for eventual sale in Hong Kong.
The arraignment follows a six-month investigation by the California Attorney
General’s eCrime Unit into trafficking $4 million in stolen smartphones.
The men allegedly enlisted people from homeless shelters to buy multiple
smart phones from phone carriers. Most carriers allow people to buy up to
five phones under their own names at a discount. The homeless folks sold the
phones to the conspirators for a nominal fee. They then shipped them to
Hong Kong, where iPhones can fetch $2,0000.
The defendants are Shou Lin Wen, 39, of Sacramento, and Yuting Tan, 27, of
Sacramento.
They were arrested March 6, and they were arraigned Tuesday in Sacramento on
eight felony counts of money laundering, grand theft, possession of stolen
property and conspiracy.
Both men are in Sacramento County Jail. Bail was set at $1 million each.
Agents intercepted four of the 110 parcels shipped by Wen and Tan to Hong
Kong during the past 12 months. The 412 phones seized from these packages
were traced to phony customers as far away as North Carolina.
“This international theft ring used fraud and deceit to steal smartphones
and exploit the homeless,” Attorney General Kamala Harris said in a news
release. “I applaud the hard work of our special agents whose tenacious
investigation put an end to this criminal enterprise.” | w***i
