Martin Estrada, the U.S. attorney based in Los Angeles, highlighted the gravity of the situation, noting that Wen allegedly exported firearms and ammunition to North Korea in violation of federal laws and U.S. sanctions.
The complaint details Wen's operations, mentioning he purchased Super Armory in Texas for $150,000, a federal firearms licensee, using it to facilitate his illegal shipments.
Wen's activities raised concerns when law enforcement confiscated items like a chemical threat identification device and 50,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition, which were destined for North Korea.
Despite being in the U.S. illegally since approximately 2018, authorities are still discerning how Wen managed to evade immigration enforcement during his time in the country.
