Accused of acting as a Chinese agent, NY governors’ ex-aide now faces pandemic fraud charge, too
- In September 2024, Linda Sun, former deputy chief of staff to Governor Hochul, and her husband Chris Hu were indicted for fraud and other charges in New York related to a COVID-19 PPE contract scheme.
- The indictment alleges Sun steered PPE contracts during the pandemic to firms tied to Hu and Sun's second cousin, falsely claiming Chinese government endorsements and receiving millions in kickbacks.
- Evidence includes spreadsheets showing approximately $2.3 million in kickbacks and projected profits over $8 million, which allegedly funded a lavish lifestyle including luxury homes and cars.
- U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella stated Sun abused her position to share profits with associates, while Sun's attorney Jarrod Schaeffer called the new charges "unfortunate and telling" amid trial delays.
- Sun and Hu pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for arraignment on June 30, 2025, with ongoing prosecution signaling continued legal scrutiny of their alleged misconduct during the pandemic.
