Here's a map plotting the properties that the Dept. of Homeland Security has said are associated with Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations, aka Chinese mafia, in Maine. Image
Here's the DHS list of Chinese mafia sites in Maine zoomed in to show just how many we're dealing with. Image
Image
The Maine Wire has been reporting on and identifying these sites for more than a year. We have recently obtained the DHS list, but here's what our map looks like. Image
The entire Chinese mafia problem sprung up on @GovJanetMills' watch, right after the Consul of China's Consulate in NYC, Huang Ping, attended Mills' inauguration.

She has yet to utter a word about it.

Also, her brother has clients who are involved.

Here's some background on the issue of Chinese organized crime in Maine. themainewire.com/2023/11/triad-…
Here's how the U.S. Treasury Department and Congress subsidized the acquisition of Maine properties by Chinese gangsters. themainewire.com/2024/02/how-th…
These illegal aliens caught sneaking over the border were connected with the illegal drug trafficking networks. themainewire.com/2024/02/three-…
Several seemingly legitimate Maine businesses have ties to the illicit marijuana growing themainewire.com/2024/05/the-re…
Maine law enforcement have been briefed on how Chinese-made insecticides and pesticides are coming to Maine bc of these illegal grow houses.

After we exposed that house as a shipping hub for Chinese made poisons, they tried to sell it.

A family that got a tour got sick.

Two Chinese nationals died in Freedom, ME, from carbon monoxide poisoning. There will be no Go Fund Me or community celebration for them. If you think this was an accident, you haven't been paying attention.

New England police have known for a while, and we reported in Sept., that Chinese organized crime is spawning burglaries that often go unreported to the police by the victims.

If you are wondering why there aren’t any grows marked here it’s bc that’s north woods wilderness… Big Foot territory homey Image

The Maine Wire has obtained a copy of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s list of 270 properties in Maine that federal law enforcement believes are affiliated with Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations.

themainewire.com/2024/11/illega…
Additionally, we’ve obtained records from the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy that show, in a few limited cases, that the agency has revoked cannabis licenses acquired under the names of out-of-state operatives who are or were part of the illegal Chinese grows.

At the same time, we have obtained Maine law enforcement records that show the Maine State Police have been aware of the activities of “Chinese gangs from NY” since at least March 2021.

Taken together, the records offer an unprecedented look at how the federal government, Maine’s elected officials, law enforcement, and cannabis regulators have tried — and failed spectacularly — to reckon with the growing threat of Chinese organized crime in Maine.

At the center of the Chinese organized crime ring are Yen “Johnny” Hsein Wu, Shunwang Ding, Sheng Cheng Ye, Jung “Jason” Yen Tsai, and a series of properties and front companies organized around Green Future, LLC.
The Maine State Police (MSP) knew as early as March 2021 that a Turner facility was “possibly run by a Chinese gang from NY.” This comes from an MSP trooper who received a request from an NYPD detective in search of a missing Chinese woman. Image

For the 2024 elections, Maine's Warden counted more than 6,500 UOCAVA (overseas absentee ballots).

However, the Secretary of State's Absentee Ballot data shows fewer than 2,000 requests for Absentee Ballots.

That means there are ~4,600 UOCAVA votes for which there are not *currently* AB requests in the data.

In prior years, UOCAVA AB data has matched UOCAVA ballots counted.

We've been asking the SOS for an explanation on this discrepancy between the two UOCAVA AB counts, but they have not been forthcoming with an answer.

We're still trying to determine whether the gap is an issue of databases needing to update or something else.Image
Here's the UOCAVA count from the Warden, signed by Deputy Secretary of State Julie Flynn
All data for Absentee Ballot requests, including the overseas vote, can be found here:

It’s a massive .txt file that requires some Excel know-how or a 3rd party tool to work with, but it allows you to sort for just UOCAVA (overseas) AB voters. maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/d…Image

How about a saturday morning 🧵on how Chinese organized crime built a drug trafficking empire in Maine with U.S. taxpayer dollars?

The story revolves around Quontic Bank, a "Community Development Finance Institution" (CDFI). Basically, that means they get tax dollars to make riskier loans to non-citizens w/ no income. It's a humdrum bank until 2020, when this happens: Image
Suddenly in 2020, Quontic's net assets explode. Around the same time, Quontic's mortgage business takes off. In fact, mortgages are basically Quontic's core business. Image

Xisen Guo, 67, arrested at an illegal drug trafficking hub in Passadumkeag, Maine -- a town of less than 500 people.

Guo was charged with felony trafficking. Cops seized 40 lbs of marijuana and some methamphetamine.

If you follow the corporate/real estate record trail, this one gets interesting...

The house itself is fairly typical for triad grows we've found in Maine: large detached buildings, remote, very little attention from cops, abundant power.

But it was among the first purchased in Maine.

Records show it was purchased in Feb. 2020 by "GC Realty 168" Image
"GC Realty 168" also happens to be the owner of a separate site on the Stickney Hill Road in Brownville. The Maine Wire visited this place last year and confirmed it's an illegal marijuana grow. Image

Amber Lavigne discovered a chest binder in her 13-year-old daughter's bedroom.

She later learned a 26-year-old UMaine grad student with a conditional license to practice social work at her daughter's school had given it to her.

themainewire.com/2022/12/social…
Lavigne told the story at a school board meeting on Wednesday. You can watch her testimony here. rumble.com/v20zf1q-maine-…
No one at the school is answering questions about how this happened. The Superintendent won't respond to phone calls and emails. Neither will the school board.

This 4th grade teacher spoke right after Lavigne -- and attacked her.

To enforce the "Thou Shall Not Help Deport" policy of Suffolk County, Rollins has ordered her employees to surveil courtrooms for agents of Homeland Security.

If an evil ICE agent is spotted doing his or her job, Suffolk DA employees are now required to call Rollins.
So you're an illegal alien heroin dealer arrested for driving without a license. ICE has been watching you for a bit and see you're going to be in a courthouse.

One of Rollins' narcs sees ICE and calls the boss.

What then? The Rollins Memo doesn't say...
... but we've seen other examples in Mass. where officers of the court actually HELP illegal aliens evade ICE by letting them slip out the back door.

Is this now the official policy of Suffolk County when it comes to dealing with illegal alien heroin dealers?
