Wen alongside a slew of unidentified co-conspirators were able to successfully ship two parcels of firearms and ammunition to North Korea, according to investigators. Those containers were shipped from the port of Long Beach to Hong Kong, then China and finally to North Korea. During a series of interviews with investigators, “Wen explained that he met North Korean government officials at two separate North Korean Consulates in China before he came to the United States,” and that “he was likely selected to procure goods on behalf of the North Korean government because he was good at smuggling.”
