A wealthy Long Island couple who mysteriously vanished more than five months ago: 2 arrested after stealing Millions
Yinye Wang, of Roslyn, Qiuju Wu, 55, of Queens, charged with stealing millions from missing couple, feds say
Though the victims are not named in the criminal complaint, the details of the case appear to match up with the disappearance of JuanJuan Zwang and her husband Peishuan Fan, who Newsday reported went missing from their $3.8 million Old Brookville, L.I., mansion just hours after having dinner with their sons.
The couple is still reported missing, and the Nassau County Police Department has an active investigation underway into their disappearance.
Starting on June 29, one of the two victims, then the other, were added to Wu’s bank account, and that account was changed from “individual owner” to “joint with rights of survivorship,” according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Long Island.
A flurry of withdrawals and transfers followed, with Wu siphoning $2.8 million in total by July 10, the feds allege. The criminal complaint shows Wu in bank surveillance photos for three separate transfers, with Wang standing behind her in one of them.
Wang, who also goes by “Roy Wang,” has also been tied to other identity theft crimes, and on Dec. 20, 2023, he was flagged at a checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport after TSA officers found several phone calls, ID cards, credit cards and financial documents under multiple names, the complaint alleges.
