Zhao Shilan Cheap Jerseys Online , who with her ex-husband has been charged with money laundering and immigration fraud based partly on information from Chinese investigators, remains in jail in Washington state.


She will appear at a hearing on April 6 in Los Angeles where she was indicted.


Kirk Davis, Zhao's attorney, said Zhao was to be released on Monday after a federal hearing in Seattle, but the US government filed an appeal against the move and she is being held without bail.


On March 17, a grand jury indictment in US District Court in Los Angeles charged Zhao, 51, and Qiao Jianjun with three counts of money laundering and immigration fraud.


They are accused of fraudulently obtaining EB-5 immigrant-investor visas to enter the United States and launder money from China. Zhao was arrested at her home in Newcastle Cheap Retro Jerseys , Washington, just outside of Bellevue. Qiao, 51, has not been found.


The US government is considering deporting Zhao to China, but her lawyer, Davis, opposes the move, saying she fears she will be arrested and tortured to reveal the whereabouts of her ex-husband.


The Chinese government Cheap Replica Jerseys , which assisted in the case, has targeted corrupt officials since President Xi Jinping took office in 2012, and has asked the US to help find fugitives who have fled there with money and return them and their money to China.


The US does not have an extradition agreement with China, but alternatives to extradition exist, US officials say, including deportation for violations of US immigration law.


In a story on March 28, the Vancouver Sun traced Zhao's purchase of a British Columbia company and her acquisition of properties.


"Flush with money that she and her ex-husband, Qiao Jianjun Cheap Custom Jerseys , had moved from China through banks in the mainland, Hong Kong and Canada, Zhao first bought a Richmond condo, paying for it outright.


A few months later, on a return trip, she bought a five-bedroom White Rock home, also paying for it outright," the newspaper reported.


Zhao recently put the White Rock property up for sale for $689 Cheap Authentic Jerseys ,000, the Sun said.


A search of property and title records conducted by the Sun show that Zhao's company bought the properties outright.


However, a few months later, it took out mortgages on both, totaling $1.1 million, that represented almost their entire market value. A few weeks later Zhao and Qiao took money from their Canadian RBC account to pay for a Bellevue home.


Officials allege that Qiao embezzled the money from a Chinese grain warehouse, China Grain Reserves Corp, also known as Sinograin Cheap Wholesale Jerseys , which he directed in Henan province.


When the divorced couple applied for the investor visas, they claimed they were married and declared that the $500,000 they invested through EB-5 was obtained lawfully, officials said.


When she applied for her EB-5 visa, Zhao listed Qiao as her husband. She also said her investment funds were cash advances from two Chinese flour companies that she partly owned. Later, Qiao filed paperwork with the US immigration agency in which he said he was married to Zhao.


In 2009, the two received visas as a couple, and they came to the US that October. In mid-2011 Cheap Jerseys From China , Zhao applied to have her green card made permanent.


By early 2012, the pair had about $2.2 million in laundered funds deposited in a Canadian bank account, according to officials. Using a portion of those funds, that August they bought a four-bedroom house in Newcastle for $525,000 under the name S&O Investments LLC.


Assistant US Attorney Ronald Cheng in Los Angeles said the federal government could ask a court to allow the Newcastle house to be seized to help pay the Chinese government for its losses.


In March, Chinese prosecutors gave the US State Department a "priority list" of 150 people it wanted help in finding and in repatriating moneys they allegedly embezzled. It is not known if Qiao and Zhao are on that list, the Sun said.



If you live in an area with a temperate climate and year-round sunshine, having an outdoor pool in your backyard is an awesome investment. Many homes in sunny states such as Florida Cheap Jerseys China , Texas, Arizona and California have their own outdoor pools that take advantage of the great weather experienced most of the year. Of course, an indoor pool with temperature control is also an option for those who like to take a swim even when it's a bit cold outside, but the upkeep or maintenance costs are significantly more than an outdoor pool.
