One of the most notorious money-launderers in casino history is a man who The hail of bullets that killed the victim Prosecutors claim that the attack on a Japanese-style restaurant in Richmond in Metro Vancouver was not intended.
Jian Jun Zhu Silver International operated in Vancouver. It was a bank underground with links to the drug cartels. It washed away hundreds of millions dollars at casinos around Vancouver.
On September 18, 2020 Zhu was at the wrong location and time. He also ate with the wrong person. Richard Reed25-year-old allegedly shot seven rounds from a Norinco 1111 semiautomatic pistol in the restaurant.
It was Zhu and his companion that the real threat was. Paul “King Jin”Prosecutors claim that Silver International is a suspected illegal gambling operator. Jin suffered injuries in the assault but recovered.
Murder for Hire
Rusty Antonuk stated in the opening statements of Reed’s trial for first-degree murder last week that the jury would be hearing testimony from an unnamed friend. Reed is alleged to have told ME he’d killed the incorrect man.
Antonuk stated, “I expect the witness to say that Reed told him that it was done for $6,000. The target was sitting at the corner of the window. But that Reed shot the wrong person.” “The wrong man was killed.” “Now the people who employed him are angry.”
Antonuk didn’t say who hired Reed or their motivation for wanting Jin to die. He did say that members of the group who ordered the assassination had been inside the restaurant when the attack took place.
Antonuk stated that the evidence would show Mr. Reed was in direct or indirect contact with the people who were inside the restaurant at the time and near the shooting. “And evidence will prove that Reed surveilled the restaurant just before the killing,” Antonuk said.
Reed told Antonuk that he also said another man, named “Jas”, was in the restaurant. “Jas had sent Reed a picture of Paul Jin’s face with the wound on the cheek saying that Reed killed the wrong person,” Antonuk reported.
Zhu Prosecution Fiasco
Zhu’s wife Qin was charged with money laundering in 2017. It is the biggest case ever prosecuted in Canada. The case was part of “Operation E-Pirate,” a major RCMP probe into criminal money-laundering networks.
In 2019, the case was thrown into disarray when, inadvertently, prosecutors revealed the secret identity of an important government witness as part of the standard disclosure process. The judge who presided over the case stayed it, as he determined that continuing the trial could put the witness in “high danger of death.”
