Federal authorities raided a home belonging to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao early Thursday as part of a California investigation that included a search of at least two other houses, officials said… Agents also carried out searches about three miles to the south at two homes owned by members of the politically influential Duong family that owns the recycling company Cal Waste Solutions, the Chronicle said. The firm has been investigated over campaign contributions to Thao and other elected city officials, the local news outlet Oaklandside reported in 2020.
The mayor? Waste management? FBI?
Sounds like some real big stuff is going on that we don’t know about.
It’s the Chicago mob all over again!
There’s a lot of shady shit going on in Oakland that is always brushed over. I don’t know what it is exactly but every now and then you see glimpses of it.
The Oakland PD was on probation for about 20 years (yes, literally) due to corruption in the force. The recent police chief spoke out about corruption among the feds overseeing the PD. The chief was fired shortly after by the new mayor on some trumped up charges. Now there’s a highly suspicious campaign to recall the mayor, funded by dark money.
Not to mention no one ever talks about the massive racial tensions between Black and Chinese in the city.
