The L.A. Times reports:
Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow was convicted Friday of racketeering, murder and other charges in a sprawling corruption case that rocked San Francisco’s Chinatown and the state’s political establishment.No word yet on this story from Hillary Clinton.
A federal jury found Chow, 56, guilty on all 162 counts after two days of deliberations, said Abraham Simmons, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in San Francisco.
The so-called dragonhead of a Chinatown fraternal organization went on trial in November after a lengthy investigation that cost millions in taxpayer dollars and swept up numerous people, including former Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee, who pleaded guilty to racketeering in July. A half-dozen of Chow’s co-defendants pleaded guilty in the case in September.
