A 55 year old Chinese woman named Yang Hong (pseudonym) tried to bribe US customs agents to let her daughter through the border with $160,000 (1.03 million Yuan) worth of undeclared goods.
Yang and her daughter flew to the United States on Air France from Paris. US customs officials seized designer wallets, watches, furs, diamonds and other undeclared goods from Yang’s daughter’s luggage at the border. Yang tried to bribe customs officials, and said that they could have a $10,000 (about 64,000 Yuan) watch out of the luggage if they released her daughter.
The customs official left the room and returned wearing recording equipment. Yang, not knowing she was being recorded, offered to sleep with him and bring him to China on a trip. Yang was released and then arrested at the airport when trying to take a flight back to China.
Yang’s case was heard in the US on Monday and she had been released on a $250,000 (1.6 million Yuan) bail. Yang’s lawyer described the incident as a misunderstanding which resulted in the “unjust arrest of a law-abiding woman.”

She grossly mistook that American men in power would love the opportunity to hop into bed with 55 year old Ayi's from China. Either that or she thinks she looks like Fan Bing Bing and that she must be an amazing catch. What a joke!

Inside sources tell me the customs official demanded both the mother and daughter have sex with him simultaneously at a 5 star hotel nearby. She declined. Thats what sealed her fate.
