NEW YORK -- A woman was convicted Wednesday of using her Chinatown storefront to orchestrate human-smuggling schemes, including a treacherous voyage in 1993 that ended in the deaths of 10 Chinese immigrants. Cheng, known as "Big Sister Ping," was accused of amassing a multimillion-dollar fortune by smuggling thousands of immigrants who endured perilous journeys aboard dilapidated cargo ships such as the Golden Venture, which ran aground in June 1993 near the borough of Queens. Ten immigrants died trying to swim to shore.
