Huawei finance boss Meng Wanzhou charged by US 'had seven passports'
Sky News ^ | 12-8-18 | na

US prosecutors have charged Huawei's chief financial officer with fraud, saying she had used at least seven passports in 11 years.

-

...she was charged with conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions between 2009 and 2014.

It is alleged she used Hong Kong company Skycom to access the Iranian market in deals that violated US sanctions.

She allegedly assured US banks that Huawei and Skycom were different companies but prosecutors say they were one and the same.

-

Mr Gibb-Carsley said she had been aware of the US investigation and had avoided entering the country since March 2017, despite the fact that her son attends school in Boston.

-

The US said she had at least seven passports from China and Hong Kong in the last 11 years and that Huawei had tried to move Chinese nationals out of the US if they could be potential witnesses to its Iran operations.

“People I know who became US citizens had to turn over their other passports.”

I am pretty sure that is not the case.

She’s being accused of giving a misleading presentation to a banker...during the Obama administration.

Doesn’t the DOJ have anything better to do?

Don’t you have anything better to do than hold Chinese Communist water?

Isn’t this the same DOJ that failed to prosecute Jon Corzine for literally stealing $ millions of dollars of physical assets from his clients at MF Global?

Isn’t this the same DOJ that failed to prosecute Jon Corzine for literally stealing millions of dollars of physical assets from his clients at MF Global to cover his currency bets in Europe?

I wonder how many passports he has...

I had two in a previous life because the company I worked for had reason to dispatch me on assignments in Israel or hostile countries in the Middle East which do not recognize Israel and will deny you entry if their is a Israeli stamp in your passport. Nothing illegal about it if you bring an authorized letter from your company requesting the same to your nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

They will, of course, call to verify and collect the passport fee twice. You are, of course, told to turn in the spare passport once the reason for having two no longer exists.

This is a real crime with real charges. Will China arrest one of or manufacturing execs in Guangdong or other on made up charges to retaliate?

What debt?

How are they going to come and collect on it? Militarily? Everything they have is a complete ripoff of our stuff and their stuff is made crappier.

Chinese R&D, stands for Ripoff & Duplicate.

Don’t you think it’s amazing that we’ve become accustomed to having to buy the same thing every few years because “it’s that cheap chinese stuff” when not too long ago you’d buy something and it would last until you wanted to replace it.

7 passports. That’s straight from the Chinese government and Intel apparatus. I wonder what would happen to them if their ability to perpetrate intellectual property theft or be given the technology by clinton-types, who’ll sell out the country for a buck, was completely cutoff. I think they’d shrivel up and die.

A friend used to be an MSG at the US Embassy, in Bejing. After traveling around the country, he said once you got out of the cities, the place was like the Flinstones.

That was my point. The only way they can be repaid is if we voluntarily repay it. They are not in a position of power.

Hi.

I know a couple of people who have two passports for the same reason. Sad.

Clinton slid into office on Chinese money and then gave them the means to point nuclear missiles at our country
that’s what he should have been impeached for
This was also involved with Espionage by Clinton’s
