13 Millionaire criminals who bought their freedom… You’ll be surprised to see this! (With Pictures)

6. Zhenli Ye Gon

Gon was also in the drug trade business, but he did not make his money by being out in the streets. He was able to make a fortune by allegedly selling pseudoephedrine. He easily had access to this drug due to his position as an executive for a pharmaceutical company.

Gon brought in the drug from China into Mexico and eventually, he made Mexico his permanent residence. Legal troubles caught up with him which caused over $200 million of assets to be seized. At this time, the charges against him are still pending.

In spite of his assets being seized, he possibly will not have to worry too much about his finances since he has loads of money hiding away in Hong Kong, Mexico and Europe.
