SDNY / UN GATE,
May 16 – Chinese businessman
and fraudster Cary Yan was the
subject of a Federal
indictment unsealed on
September 2, 2022, in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New
York.
Using a
UN-affiliated non-governmental
organization, Yan paid bribes
in New York to officers of the
Marshall Islands and others.
Indictment on Inner City
Press' DocumentCloud here.
In 2018,
Inner City Press from inside
the UN reported on Cary Yan's
suspicious activities,
(including video here,
and bribe-bought promotion by
UNCA here)
as it was reporting on the
parallel UN bribery by Patrick
Ho of Ye Jianming's NGO CEFC
China Energy.
On December 1,
2022, Yan and his co-defendant
pled guilty. Inner City Press
was there - thread:
[Plea agreement
on Inner City Press'
DocumentCloud here]
Guilty plea is
accepted by the judge.
Sentencing set for late Feb
but could be earlier since
parents' visa running out.
On March 9, Yan
asked to delay his sentencing
from March 28 to May 16.
On March 10, it was granted:
"Set/Reset Hearings as to Cary
Yan: Sentencing set for
5/16/2023 at 11:00 AM before
Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald."
Just before
sentencing, Yan in a redacted
sentencing submission asked
for time served. The US says
it wants 57 months.
It got 42 months
- with 37 of them already
served. Inner City Press was
there, thread here:
Now at sentencing
of UN-linked fraudster Cary
Yan. He wants time served.
"The Founder" and enablers
still in UN have not been
prosecuted
Defense: Cary Yan
went to college in Beijing and
wants to advise NGOs. He has
given a lot of money. Fraud as
"anti poverty work" - very UN.
Defense:
The Bureau of Prisons or US
Marshals lost Cary Yan's
manuscript. [What, could it be
another expose or how-to
manual of corruption in the UN
of Antonio Guterres ,
pay to play?]
Defense: He
wanted to help people in the
Marshall Islands
Judge:
Didn't Mr Yan bribe Mr
Lorenzo? [That's Francis
Lorenzo, who's back in the UN,
he's in a book Inner City
Press is shepherding toward
publication. UN corruption is
expanding]
Yan's
lawyer: US wants 57 months,
Probation wants 42. But Cary
merits less - time served. The
Roger Ng case was different.
[What of Ng Lap Seng, who
bought UN PGA , whose office
under Csaba Korosi still
bans Inner City Press from his
UN Civil Society Town Halls
AUSA: WOGC
(scam NGO Inner City
Press exposed before
Antonio Guterres banned
the Press from the UN) was all
about money. 57 months
wouldn't even be the highest
FCPA sentence this year.
Judge has taken a
break. Here's Cary Yan in the
UN, video here
Cary Yan has less
hair now, two lawyers and
interpreter. Where's the
blonde go? Judge is back. Yan
[in Chinese] I will be honest
Judge: Mr
Yan is not a public
official... The Deputy
Ambassador of the Dominican
Republic Francis Lorenzo--
AUSA: We gave Lorenzo a 5K1
[cooperator's] letter. [Ng Lap
Seng got 48 months. UN
PGA John Ashe died under
his own barbell]
Judge: Yan has
had 4 heart surguries. He will
be deported. I sentence him to
42 months.
[37 already
served, so five more at MDC
then deportation - to Marshal
Islands, whose passport he
bought? And can return to the
US?]

On February 2,
for her February 16
sentencing, Zhou asked for
time served.
On February 9,
the US also asked for time
served for Zhou - in a
sentencing submission that
references Francis Lorenzo,
already free and back in the
UN, and "the Founder," whom
Inner City Press exposed
before being thrown out of the
UN and whom the US has never
charged.
On February 15,
Zhou got just that: time
served. "JUDGMENT IN A
CRIMINAL CASE as to Gina Zhou
(2). The defendant pleaded
guilty to count One. Counts
2-5 are dismissed on the
motion of the United States.
IMPRISONMENT: Time served. The
defendant should receive full
credit for the time served
since her arrest in Thailand
on November 16, 2020.
ASSESSMENT: $100.00 due
immediately. (Signed by Judge
Naomi Reice Buchwald on
2/16/2023)."
After Inner City
Press' initial report, Yan
retained Jonathan Bolz, who
also represented Patrick Ho.
Word is Yan was extradited in
from Thailand and will be
presented before the assigned
District Judge Naomi Reice
Buchwald, who also presided
over sentencing to 15 years of
UN rapist Karim Elkorany.
On September 2,
2022, after finding the
just-unsealed Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA)
indictment of Yan and Gina
Zhou in the docket at the SDNY
court which it now covers,
still banned from the UN,
Inner City Press emailed
Guterres, his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric, Eri Kaneko
and Melissa Fleming questions
about the UN's role in the
bribery by the NGOs, including
the United Nations
International Organization for
Sustainable Development and
the World Organization of
Governance and
Competitiveness, WOGC. No
answer.
On November 10,
Yan's lawyer asked to delay
the November 15 conference to
December 1 "to provide the
parties additional time to
discuss a potential resolution
of the matter." A plea? Watch
this site.
Inner City Press
resurfaces:
A
whistleblower
forwarded this
to Inner City
Press: "UNCA is
extending an
invitation from
the Permanent
Mission of
Zambia to the UN
and the World
Organization of
Governance and
Competitiveness
to a High-level
Global Meeting
discussing 'Road
to the Future of
Sustainable
Development:
Moving from
Commitments to
Results through
Inclusive
Innovation,'
taking place on
Friday, August
25th from 1:30 -
6:00 pm in
ECOSOC chamber.
Sherwin
Bryce-Pease,
President,
United Nations
Correspondents
Association."
The promotion:
"H.E Mr.
Lazarous
Kapambwe,
Permanent
Representative
of Zambia to the
United Nations,
Mr. Cary Yan,
President of
WOGC, Special
Guests include:
H.E. Mme Marie
Chatardová,
President of the
Economic and
Social Council
(tbc), H.E. Mr.
António
Guterres, United
Nations
Secretary
General (tbc),
H.E. Mme Lorena
Herrera, Vice
President of
Honduras, H.E.
Mr. Alvaro
Colom, Former
President of
Guatemala, H.E.
Mr. Kessai H.
Note, Former
President of the
Republic of the
Marshall
Islands, H.E.
Mr. Francisco
Merino, Former
Vice President
of El Salvador,
Hon. Mr. Freidi
Torres, Former
President of
Legislative
Assembly of the
Republic of
Panama." The
press release
said Antonio
Guterres would
speak.
Then
Guterres had
Inner City Press
thrown out of
the UN, and his
UNCA did nothing
(here).
So far, no
response - complicity and
corruption.
The case is US v.
Yan, 20-cr-402 (Buchwald)
