Linda Sun is seen in an image from her social media profile. From Linda Sun CNN — A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was charged with acting as an agent for the Chinese government, US Attorney Breon Peace announced Tuesday. Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to Hochul, was charged with violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registrations Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling and money laundering conspiracy, according to an unsealed copy of the indictment. Her husband and co-defendant, Chris Hu, was also charged with money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit bank fraud as well as misusing means of identification, prosecutors said. ADVERTISING Their home was raided by federal investigators in July, according to sources. According to prosecutors, Sun acted as “an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government while her husband, Hu, facilitated the transfer of millions of dollars in kickbacks for personal gain.” Sun and Hu were arrested at their Long Island residence Tuesday morning. The couple is set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon, the US Attorney’s office said. CNN has reached out to attorneys representing Sun and Hu. Sun “was hired by the Executive Chamber more than a decade ago. We terminated her employment in March 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, immediately reported her actions to law enforcement and have assisted law enforcement throughout this process,” Hochul’s press secretary, Avi Small, said in a statement to CNN. Allegations of unauthorized letters, money laundering, and salted ducks from the PRC Sun violated internal rules and state government protocols in order to benefit the Chinese government, according to court documents. Among Sun’s activities, prosecutors say, she acted as an undisclosed agent of the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party, acting at their request and engaging in political activities to further the interests of the CCP, including “blocking representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to high level New York State officers.” The indictment details an effort by Sun to secure “unauthorized invitation letters” from the office of the governor which were then used to facilitate travel by PRC government officials into the United States for meetings with state officials in New York.

Conrad Williams Jr./Newsday RM/Getty Images Sun’s unauthorized letters included false statements about immigration documents and “induced the foreign citizens into unlawfully entering the United States,” prosecutors wrote. Prosecutors also allege she tried to “facilitate a trip” to China by a high-level, unnamed New York politician. Sun and her husband received “substantial economic and other benefits” which included millions of dollars in transactions for PRC business activities of Hu, travel benefits, tickets to events, employment for Sun’s cousin in the PRC, a delivery of “Nanjing-style salted ducks prepared by a PRC official’s personal chef” that were then delivered to the residence of Sun’s parents, among others, according to the indictment. They also laundered the monetary proceeds to buy real estate in New York and Hawaii and various luxury vehicles, according to the indictment. Aide worked in New York government for over a decade Sun has held several government titles for more than a decade. Public employment records and her Linkedin profile show positions spanned across several agencies focused on New York’s economic development, labor and the executive chamber. In 2009, Sun was hired as chief of staff in Rep. Grace Meng’s office when Meng was in the State Assembly. In 2012, Sun was hired by the administration of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who named her director of Asian American affairs and Queens representative. Sun then went on to secure a post as director of external affairs for Empire State Development, which handles economic development across the state. In 2018 she was re-hired by the Cuomo administration and named chief diversity officer; she later left that post for a job in the Department of Financial Services. After Hochul had ascended to the top office in the state, Sun was hired as deputy chief of staff, serving for about a year before heading for a post as deputy commissioner for strategic business at the Department of Labor, which terminated her employment in March 2023. This is a developing story and will be updated.

并不是说鸭子本身值钱，而是说明他们是有关联的。就好比大妈发现老公脖子上有口红，口红本身并不是性关系，但可以推导。
笑死 NY post说她家买了3.5米豪宅后很多人暗中揣测怎么买得起，政府公开的年收入只有15万
“颜先生，你银行的一千多万怎么得来的？”
“我老婆做妓女赚回来的，她每做一次就赚一百万，行不行？”
- 五亿探长雷洛传2
她老公是商人， 不能赚大钱吗？3.5米的房子， 她家买的时候可能只有1米多
按你的逻辑， 不工作的家庭主妇只能流落街头了？
记得以前台湾陈水扁时期，台湾有个美女间谍翘的是美国国务院助理国务卿， 那才是能接触核心机密情报的值得花血本的
不清楚 除了3.5米的豪宅，还有2米的夏威夷高级condo。这个人被纽约辞退后，家里今年又买了台ferrari, 据说还不是第一次买豪车 这位女士老公如果是商人应该也算比较成功的
不过她老公也一同被起诉了
原以为是在为今年大选作秀，但这位女士去年就由于misconduct被举报辞退了
她做的事情好像还没Sue Mi Terry严重，酬劳却很多
3.5米， + 2米， 这几年房价大涨， 她家买的时候可能总共也就不到2米。
工薪阶层也买得起啦！不需要啥特别成功的商人
韩国人太小气
在哪里查到他家买房时间？
不用我们猜哪年买的了。两栋房都是2021年购入，他家报给国税局的年收入从未超过30万（15+15）

纽约的商人， 个体户很多都是Cash business, 报税很低， 现金很多的
有些华人医生， 都只收cash
哈哈，鸭子都列出来了，绝对是无中生有
2/19/2021
Sold
$3,550,000
不关他们收入， 买房可以用LLC， 如果他们有公司
就算你说的这种。。。不被查算她好运，被查了不就是现成的把柄吗？
30万收入买4，5百万的房子？还有各种豪车
老实说我一直不太懂很多移民对国税局的藐视
官员给她家送了至少3次鸭子。我上面引用的网页写得好详细。不知道起诉方是不是想活跃一下气氛
salted ducks better than peking ducks? Honchul got Shanghaied.

用LLC 买啊
特朗普的报税单到现在都没出来，难道国税局不是被全世界人民藐视吗？
不止逃税，还有perjury吧。你看你引用的这段，就是在讲每年要填的披露表上，linda sun每年最多给她老公报15万美金的收入
这是两码事吧？国税局没义务公布他的税表 川铺又比较厚脸皮，就是不要自己贴出来
这个也可以辩解说龙虾年年集体自杀所以年年亏本,看律师怎么解释了。
就看她（或中国）愿意出多少钱帮她雇辩护律师了
基本上她的资产跟明面上的收入不对等
你懂个屁啊,她是政府官员，偷税是重罪，所有财产都要申报的，包括收的礼物.
估计不是通过llc 买房那一年她老公公司收入好像接近0。新闻还说这房子一直到最近两年都还是在两人名下，后来才转到信托里
总统不交税 连任再一次 国会山暴动 翻案犹可期
华商少交税 手铐加帽子 欲加君之罪 盐水三鸭子🦆
也不是都没有出来, Trump2005交了三千八百万的税
7月份家都被抄了，手机，电脑也搜了吧。
那是账目信息， 提几只鸭子送她父母那里， 有人跟踪？
