"Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have opened a criminal investigation of Dao Yin, a recent New York State Assembly candidate suspected of using fake donors and forged signatures to artificially inflate his allotment of matching funds."
"Mr. Yin received more than $162,000 in taxpayer money under a new program designed to boost small-money donors, but many of the listed donors reported they did not contribute."
"Asif Alli, one of the people listed as a donor, stated, 'He is defrauding the public, stealing people's identities,' highlighting the gravity of the situation and the need for investigation."
"When approached for comment, Mr. Yin declined to engage, indicating the seriousness of the allegations and adding a level of intrigue to the ongoing investigation by federal agents."
