Asian on Asian crime? Or non-Asian speaking Chinese on Asian crime?
Either way - I hope they catch whoever is trying to extort $$$ from Asian businessmen:
Police said Wednesday they are investigating, in conjunction with the FBI, alleged extortion threats against four Asian-American business owners. The owners told police that they were all recently contacted via telephone by a "Chinese-speaking male" who threatened to injure them and set their businesses on fire if he was not paid $20,000, according to police.Be my friend Godfather?
The male caller purportedly alluded to ties with Chinese organized crime. Police said that similar threats across the U.S. have been reported by Asian-Americans, though none of the victims were contacted afterwards and none of the threats have been carried out. The phone calls appear to be originating from China, police said.
