Chinese National Sentenced to 2-Year Imprisonment Over Scam Targeting Seniors

A Chinese national has been sentenced in a San Diego federal court to two years in prison for being part of a multinational fraud scheme targeting elderly Americans.

U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta handed down the sentence for 35-year-old Liu Jiaci on Aug. 22, after Liu was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and criminal forfeiture, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California.
