A California man has been arrested for his involvement in a sophisticated scheme to assist the North Korean regime in obtaining restricted weapons and military-grade technology. The individual, a Chinese national residing unlawfully in Ontario, California, allegedly conspired with North Korean officials to procure prohibited items.
According to federal prosecutors, the suspect, identified as Shenghua Wen, overstayed his visa in the US and remained in the country illegally. It is alleged that Wen, who arrived in the US as a student in 2012, was paid $2 million by the North Korean government to obtain weapons, ammunition, and military-related equipment.
