But this bust was just the beginning of an even bigger case.\nHost Lidia Jean Kott and co-reporter Shuyu Wang interview sources\nwho’ve never spoken on record before, including witnesses, defendants, and federal prosecutors, to reconstruct a case that still has repercussions today.\nIn this episode, we meet Tina Wong, a young mother who found herself in the middle of the operation with two choices—go to prison, or risk her life to bring down the man at the helm.\nListen to The Chinatown Sting wherever you get podcasts and binge the entire season, ad-free with a Pushkin+ subscription.
