Nardello & Co. Partner & Counsel to the CEO Howard Master spoke with Sam Cabral of BBC News and Gloria Pazmino of CNN to discuss former New York state government aide Linda Sun’s double life as an undercover agent for Beijing.
According to a US indictment, Sun used her position to aid Chinese officials, including blocking Taiwanese diplomats from contacting the state government and covertly sharing internal documents with Beijing.
Howard explained to the BBC that Sun’s lies and other efforts at concealment allegedly helped keep the scheme going for years: “How she got away with it for so long will be a matter for ongoing investigation, but it appears that she took numerous steps to avoid getting caught, allegedly lying to the FBI, the New York State Office of the Inspector General, and others when questioned and taking other steps to conceal her role.”
