It appears this Richmond shooting targeting Paul Jin is related to the Richmond underground bank at the centre of the E Pirate investigation, and the network in this story google.ca/amp/s/globalne…

2. A source with deep knowledge of the E Pirate network and Silver International corporate structure and B.C. casino money laundering told me this is a very significant incident in transnational crime networks, this targeting of Jin and his money laundering business associate

3. Jin and his deceased associate are big fish in Canada but small fish in their own network in BC and minnows in China.

4. @5eyes_Scott the transnational crime and Chinese interference intelligenceexpert that briefed B.C. Attorney General David Eby on the ‘Vancouver Model’ network of which Jin is a mid level player, told me the Richmond shooting “could have impacts on Canada’s national security.”

These people are low level compared to the whales from China they facilitated gambling for, according to RCMP sources. Zhu is the deceased, his wife is Qin. Jin’s wife is Wei.

Why this hit attempt on Jin is surprising to E Pirate investigators is he has bodyguards, and is seen as ‘insulated’ in his Chinese TNOC network. That seems to be why he appears so brazenly and confidently in BC business and political events, although leaked records + my sources

Provide the evidence of how law enforcement saw Jin, prior to this September 2017 exposure. 3 years later he has quite the public profile. vancouversun.com/news/national/… @CullenInquiryBC

When sources talk about national security ramifications they refer to actors in China and other hostile states that are active in Canada and converge with TNOC.

For more on that convergence read this story and watch for more to come globalnews.ca/news/7275588/i…
