Lieutenant Fan Yang, a former Naval Flight Officer based onboard NAS Jacksonville FL, has been sentenced to four years behind Federal bars for purchasing firearms for a Chinese national, and lying about the relationship.<\/p>\n

According to court records, he is guilty of conspiring to violate U.S. firearms laws making false written statements to federally licensed firearms dealers during the purchase of two firearms, and again making false written statements as part of a security clearance background investigation.<\/p>\n

He developed a relationship with Ge Songtao, a citizen of the People\u2019s Republic of China. Ge pleaded guilty last year to several charges attempting to purchase and ship inflatable military boats from the U.S. to China. He was sentenced in July to three years and six months in U.S. federal prison.<\/p>\n

Fan’s wife was employed by Ge’s company, and pled guilty to charges related to the scheme.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Navy officer gets prison time in secrecy-clouded case involving Chinese CEO<\/h3>\n

Steve Patterson, Florida Times-Union<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Jacksonville-based U.S. Navy officer will spend four years behind bars for crimes he committed because of his connection to a Chinese business executive, a federal judge said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Lt. Fan Yang, 37, was convicted in November of conspiracy and gun crimes for supplying the executive with guns to use at shooting ranges during business trips to America.<\/p>\n

The sentence also covered his conviction for lying to Navy officials to hide his relationship with the executive, Shanghai Breeze Technology Co. Chairman Ge Songtao. The executive was trying to smuggle American-made equipment to China to copy for the Chinese military and hired Yang\u2019s wife to help his company while Yang was stationed at Jacksonville Naval Air Station.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lie down with the dogs, wake up with the fleas. Fan was a Mustang, and had a choice instructor billet at Navy Weaps. All thrown away for greed. Thanks, David.
