John Chen and Lin Feng have been charged with illegally acting as foreign agents of the Chinese government with the goal of targeting people who practice Falun Gong, banned in China.
Chen and Feng are accused of attempting to strip the tax-exempt status of a Falun Gong entity by filing a whistleblower complaint with the IRS and then allegedly attempting to bribe an undercover agent posing as an IRS agent earlier this month with $5,000, and promises of more than $50,000 if the agent advanced the complaint by opening an audit.
