US authorities have charged a real estate developer from the Chinese territory of Macau and his principal assistant for engaging in a two-year scheme to import more than $4.5 million into the United States under false pretenses.
Developer Ng Lap Seng and his assistant Jeff Yin, 29, were accused of engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct and make false statements to U.S. customs officials. The criminal complaint was made public on Monday in federal court in Manhattan.
