Quanzhong An, a millionaire from Long Island, was sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement in espionage for the Chinese government. He pressured a dissident's family to return to China, risking their safety. An was linked to "Operation Fox Hunt," which aimed to repatriate Chinese nationals. Additionally, he committed bank fraud and money laundering, moving funds from China to the U.S. under false pretenses. At sentencing, An expressed remorse for his actions and was ordered to pay nearly $5 million, with part going to the affected family.
"An harassed the man's son to try to learn the whereabouts of his father."
"I didn't mean to cause them any pain," An said of the victims through a Mandarin translator in court.
