Cynthia Song, a 43-year-old woman from Arcadia, admitted to conspiracy to commit money laundering, involving a scheme that scammed over $11 million from approximately 180 victims. Arrested in October 2024, she has been detained since. For nearly two years, she collaborated with a group of co-conspirators who impersonated officials to defraud mainly elderly individuals through threats of legal action. The stolen funds were funneled overseas, particularly to China, and victims often lost their money permanently. Song recruited about 15 accomplices for the operation, emphasizing the large-scale nature of the fraud.
