A California jury found a Chinese national guilty on all counts on May 6 for selling more than 1 million faulty COVID-19 tests and obtaining nearly $4 million from customers across the United States.

The verdict concludes a years-long investigation into Jia Bei Zhu’s scheme, which involved lying to the FDA and importing faulty COVID tests from China, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said, but his alleged involvement in a suspected biolab in Las Vegas has yet to be resolved.
