华人洗钱网络两名成员被起诉：被控为「杀猪盘」诈骗清洗逾4300万美元
美国纽约州纽约市布鲁克林的联邦法院2026年7月16日解封一份起诉书，指控 Zhuoying Chen（又名「Jolene」，住布鲁克林）与 Haojie Zhang（又名「Kevin」，住皇后区）参与一个华人洗钱网络，为网络投资诈骗（即「杀猪盘」）清洗赃款。两人于当日被捕，定于当天下午在联邦治安法官 James R. Cho 面前过堂。起诉书中的指控只是指控，两人未经证明有罪前推定无罪；若罪名成立，每人最高面临20年监禁。
据起诉书，2020年至2022年间，Chen 与 Zhang 管理一个由十余人组成的网络，成员主要在皇后区与布鲁克林活动，以空壳公司名义开设银行账户清洗诈骗所得。这类「杀猪盘」诈骗中，骗徒通过短信或社交应用联系受害人、建立信任，再以高回报投资机会诱使受害人汇款，并以虚假盈利诱使受害人追加投入，最终卷走资金。
起诉书称，Chen、Zhang 与身在中国的同谋合作，把诈骗所得转往境外；该网络动用约45家空壳公司与140个公司银行账户（主要位于纽约东区），清洗了至少4300万美元犯罪所得。纽约东区联邦检察官 Joseph Nocella Jr. 表示，据指控，两人是这个老练洗钱网络的关键成员，把逾4000万美元受害人资金汇往中国的银行账户。
本案由国税局刑事调查局纽约办公室、联邦调查局纽约外勤办公室与美国邮政检查局纽约分局等机构参与侦办，由纽约东区联邦检察官办公室商业与证券欺诈科与司法部洗钱、毒品与没收科起诉。

Two Members of Chinese Money Laundering Network Charged With Laundering Over $43 Million in Pig Butchering Proceeds
An indictment unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, on July 16, 2026, charges Zhuoying Chen, also known as “Jolene,” of Brooklyn, and Haojie Zhang, also known as “Kevin,” of Queens, with money laundering conspiracy for their roles in a Chinese money laundering network that laundered proceeds of cyber investment fraud scams known as “pig butchering.” The two were arrested that day and were to be arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge James R. Cho. The charges are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty; if convicted, each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
According to the indictment, between 2020 and 2022 Chen and Zhang managed a network of more than a dozen people based in Queens and Brooklyn who opened bank accounts in the names of shell companies to launder investment-scam proceeds. In pig butchering schemes, perpetrators contact victims through messaging or social media applications, build trust, and persuade them to send money for lucrative investment opportunities, showing fake profits to draw in more money before stealing the funds.
The indictment alleges that Chen and Zhang conspired with China-based co-conspirators to move the proceeds abroad, overseeing about 45 shell companies and 140 company bank accounts, located primarily in the Eastern District of New York, used to launder at least $43 million in criminal proceeds. U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said the defendants were key members of a sophisticated network that funneled over $40 million in victim funds to bank accounts in China.
The case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation in New York, the FBI's New York Field Office, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and is being prosecuted by the Business and Securities Fraud Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Justice Department's Money Laundering, Narcotics and Forfeiture Section.
