A former Democratic candidate for New York state Assembly allegedly stole $160,000 in taxpayer cash by defrauding the state’s new campaign matching-funds program, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Dao Yin, who lost his long-shot bid for the Assembly’s 40th District in Queens last year, was slapped with a wire fraud charge and arraigned in Brooklyn federal court Friday.
Yin, 62, is accused of submitting bogus signatures to inflate the number of campaign contributions he received in order to boost the amount of public matching-funds he was entitled to receive, according to the feds.
“Through lies and deceit, the defendant allegedly stole over $160,000 in taxpayer dollars to fund his campaign for elected office,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, in a statement.
The Queens resident and Chinese national submitted over 200 contribution cards to the state Public Campaign Finance Board — “many” of which were fraudulent, the complaint against him alleges.
The forged signatures raised red flags at the CFB, which requested some letters from the donors to ensure the contributions were legit.
But Yin allegedly submitted fake letters in response, evidently duping the finance board, according to the complaint.
When Yin got obliterated in the primary — receiving only around 6% of the vote — it sparked even more alarms.
That 6% translated to roughly only 185 votes, meaning Yin had more contributors than voters.

These Chinese nationals have ONE loyalty.
China.
Yet, they are given the keys and numbers to our vaults and account numbers, the confidential information to spy on our government and yet they are still given the freedom to do whatever they want with almost ZERO consequences. How many Chinese spies have there been in the past 20 years who are high up in our government??????
And don’t get me started on Feinstein and Mitch McTurtle.
If you can’t steal from the taxpayers and make yourself and your family rich in the process, what good is it to being a politician, the job doesn’t pay that well, you have to continually campaign by begging the great unwashed to vote for you, you have to kiss ass of other very rich people to give you money for the campaigns, if you can’t steal from the taxpayers, it simply isn’t worth it.
Ho Lee Fuuk!
Probably leaving for China today
The Chinese are so stupid they have to steal to get ahead.
Another NY based DemoRat fraudster termite. So much for the ‘honorable Asian’ myth. The DemoRat connection corrupts the soul.

Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Amen
Wonder which liberal judge is going to demand all charges be dropped and prevent deportation?
