A Los Angeles vendor on Amazon pleaded guilty Monday to swindling the online retailer out of more than $1.3 million over a span of nine years.
Ting Hong Yeung, 41, of Hacienda Heights was charged with felony wire fraud in March for manipulating the company’s payment system. A felony wire charge carries a maximum 20-year sentence.
According to the charge filed by the Department of Justice, Yeung, a third-party seller, began his operations by listing expensive merchandise, such as furniture and home decor, at significantly low prices to rapidly round up sales. Instead of shipping the purchased items to customers, Yeung provided Amazon with bogus tracking numbers.
