A controversial CEO of a software company was arrested on Tuesday on charges of stealing the personal data of election workers and transferring it to Chinese servers.
Eugen Yu, the CEO of a software company that schedules poll workers, was arrested by the Los Angeles District Attorney on Tuesday because it was claimed that he had stored poll worker data there.
According to the District Office, which has “found probable grounds to suspect that Konnech allegedly violated this contract by storing critical information that the workers gave on servers in China,” district attorney George Gascon was reported as saying.
Previously True the Vote exposed Eugen Yu who serves as the CEO of Konnech elections services but their reporting was deemed as a “conspiracy theory”.

NPR had these details to share:
The Los Angeles County District Attorney announced on Tuesday the arrest of Eugene Yu, the CEO of a small company that makes software for scheduling poll workers and had a contract with L.A. County. District Attorney George Gascón said at a news conference that the contract with the county required the company, Konnech, to securely maintain election worker information on servers in the United States.
Gascón said that in the course of a separate investigation, his office “found probable cause to believe that Konnech allegedly violated this contract by storing critical information that the workers provided on servers in China.”
The District Attorney did not provide further details of what evidence his investigators had uncovered so far. He said Yu’s arrest was made on “suspicion of theft of personal identifying information.”
Konnech is located in Michigan, and Gascón said his office had cooperated with local law enforcement to make the arrest. Robert Arcos, the chief of the D.A.’s Bureau of Investigation, said that investigators from the Public Integrity Unit and the Computer Forensics Unit helped serve the arrest warrant on Yu, and also seized hard drives.
The bizarre part about this story is just days before Yu was arrested the New York Times wrote an article that called the accusation against Yu a Conspiracy theory.
On October 3, the NYT ran propaganda for Konnech. (This was likely at the direction of the FBI.)
THE NEXT DAY local law enforcement arrested Konnech’s CEO.
This suggests the FBI was covering up a crime and local police said, “Nah, we are going to move.”

‘Conspiracy theory’ criticized by NY Times confirmed one day later: CEO of election-software company arrested for allegedly giving poll worker data to communist Chinese government https://t.co/OlPzlgFfNm

Blaze Media had these details to add:
On October 3, the New York Times’ Stuart Thompson criticized so-called “far-right election deniers” for a “conspiracy theory” alleging that Konnech, an election software company based in East Lansing, Michigan, had “secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States.”
Thompson, a “misinformation and disinformation” reporter, suggested that these claims, which allegedly made the CEO of the company cry, were used to “raise doubts about the integrity of American elections.”
The NY Times piece ended in a quote from the company’s 51-year-old Chinese-born CEO, Eugene Yu: “They had no interest in the truth. … The truth is inconvenient.”
This article is especially relevant in the wake of the arrest today of Konnech founder and CEO Eugene Yu. Election tampering has consequences!

I am one of a large number of people who has no tolerance for treasonous behavior from anyone. People like this should be given 2 choices; death by hanging or move to China and never return.
Probably…the tip of the Iceberg?
Hang until Dead!
This event and its repercussions will make the McCarthy hearings of the ’50s seem like a picnic in the park. The big question is where will this travesty of governance end? Since all politics begins at home and ends at the White House, where do we start? Will it take hand counted ballots to perform a true honest election in America, and for that matter other parts of the world since the Chinese Communists are everywhere. These imperialistic tyrants will bend every rule of common decency and rational thought to bring about their world supremacy by 2040. The only answer is suppression, ostracization and isolation. We must throw up a great wall in reverse to hold these terrorists and criminals at bay. They must not be allowed to enter the civilized world because they are not civil. The Chinese Communists are the new barbarians beyond the gates, and we must keep them that way.
