This is a sick story of how California government agencies are running up the people of the State.
"For Kening Ma of Ontario, bail was set at $150 million. His wife Shirley Ji got a slightly better deal a mere $75 million. These are, to say the least, extraordinary figures. The previous highest bail on record appears to be the $100 million set in the indictment of Raj Rajaratnam, who was arrested last year in New York for allegedly masterminding a $20 million insider-trading scheme.
Ive never seen bail set that high, and Im a bail bondsman by trade, Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, said. Ive been in the business 25 years, and the highest bail Ive ever seen is $10 million.
In any case, 70-count indictment of Ma and Ji president and vice president, respectively, of Ontario-based Goldenvale, Inc. is the culmination of a five-year felony criminal investigation. The San Bernardino District Attorneys office executed the indictment on March 4 of this year. San Bernardino County Sheriffs deputies arrested the couple six days later."
What did they do they there bail is higher than bail was for Bernie Madoff? "In fact, theyre charged with violating California Air Resources Board regulations specifically, theyre accused of importing motorcycles and ATVs equipped with engines that fail to meet state emissions control laws and then selling them. The indictment lists one count of conspiracy, 33 counts of grand theft (the selling of the ATVs and such, for a total of $27,000), six counts of money laundering (to the tune of $440,000) and 30 counts of possession of a false certificate (in this case, smog certificates)."
Overkill by government creates anger. Looks like Arnold allowed another agency to think they are in the old Soviet Union. Bet no one would notice if this agency went out of business.
