The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the sentencing of a California man on April 30 to 144 months in prison for fraudulently obtaining around $59 million in public benefits and laundering the funds to China.
Bruce Jin, 61, of Los Angeles, had pleaded guilty in the case in January 2025, admitting that he and other co-conspirators “conspired to obtain state unemployment compensation funds, and other public funds, through fraudulent means,” the DOJ said in a May 1 statement.
