$24 Billion was 'lost', that was to be used for the homeless 'crisis'. How much did Oakland get, and, how much was used for bribes and, 'campaign contributions'?
Homeless are 'farmed' as a convenient money laundering apparatus. Money goes 'in' to 'solve' the problem, and everybody gets rich.
Think about it... the whole farm (plantation) is legalized... drug possession, drug use, shoplifting, homelessness... they WANT as many homeless as possible, because they're all getting rich by routing your tax money to their buddies, for kickbacks.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Exactly right. It thrills me to see more posts like this. Five years ago, they were rare. Thank you!
Newsome got the biggest cut
There's no helping the homeless, they're junkies for life. Any money trying to help them is a waste.
If it's missing, someone took it. That's how things go missing.
2 million dollar homes in the Oakland hills on a mayor's salary.
The Mayor rents her home and does not own it
@@mattycampy well said
@@mattycampyshe should absolutely live in the hood. Put her on the same level as the people she’s supposed to be serving. Stop simping for politicians you fool.
They own a business didn't you see.
@@mattycampy Good point, Matt; sounds like there are a few issues to analyze there. Yes, we want the mayor to be compensated enough to do the job well, but enough to live in a $2 million house? Why does the house cost $2 million in the first place? And why have we created this dichotomy between the $2 million house and the hood? What happened to the more reasonable options in between the extremes?
Illegal campaign contributions.
When is it illegal to donate? I’m interested where that PAC money went
Probably even more than that, given the scope of the raids. Let’s see: the IRS (possible tax evasion); at least one official from the post office (mail/wire fraud?). This story has legs! Got my popcorn out.
@@jsch9173 sounds like a fishing expedition?
@@davinxi5926 When it's coming from a foreign government.
@@jeremyweems4916That never stopped the Clintons.
Wasn’t Tony Soprano in waste management?
🤣🤣🤣🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes.
Generally speaking, garbage companies have a monopoly on customers -- you are legally forced to have garbage service, therefore forced to pay whatever price they demand. That kind of business goes hand in hand with corruption.
You're actually getting to the bottom of this, as the Mafia notoriously jumped to Waste Management as a safe haven for their illicit deeds, still to this day they have a hold
They followed the script 😁
Housing authority of alameda is also corrupt and funneling money
It's the entire Blue party, and a good chunk of the others.
The Duongs are also a politically powerful family in the South Bay, holding garbage collection contracts in San Jose and the West Valley Cities (Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Campbell). Just sayin'.
they also work with communist government vietnam …..Karma come to them
Native Indian reservations and weed farms are the more powerful, lots of sketchy things too
Duongs are Vietnamese, and Vietnamese are the most powerful people on the planet. Without Vietnamese, everyone would be speaking Mongolian by now.
@@OGtruthserumisnt it interesting your one of the few countries in asian that has no alphabet
@@johnrose7212 wtf is Asian "alphabet"? You're on some hard stuff, bro?
The more corrupt you go , the more rich you get
This is what happens when you hire randos as mayors🙄 Oakland voters just wanted to seem more diverse by electing her imho
I would even go as far as saying foreign agents. I think a lot of California is infiltrated by the ccp
some poor people are real evil too. let's not lose sight of this very clear fact. the rich have easier access but all evil doers take bribes and many are poor and many are not.
You're just mad because you wish you were rich. Keep dreaming! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
@@OptimusOne But the richer you get, the higher taxes they want. So corruption is the byproduct to make up for those loses.
No politicians will be investigated.
Exactly. The corrupt Democrat Politicians are the real criminals who must be prosecuted to save us/ remove them from Political Power. The reason the Democrat Party always outraises and outspends the Republican Party is because they take Bribes from the Special Interests working hard to destroy and enslave us (the Duong Family being the most minor of them). The FBI is essentially worthless as are local and state Police.
So, the donors should stop donations in California.
Yep, that is the unfortunate part is that corrupt Politicians will continue on getting away with their Crimes and do as they pleased while their donors get caught committing Crimes.
Picture with Gay Newsome...shocking
You are one awake citizen.
Down with Newsom next
All big politicians were looking for big fish to help their running offices.
@@HsingSun The PG&E corruption has gone far enough!
And aunt Nancy, a.k.a. plastic Pelosi
Something tells me they know where my catalytic converter is....and maybe my cat too.
cats are not your things but I bet you like little kids
@@Teolulzyikes you sound guilty yourself lol somebody investigate this guy
@@ltx383 stay away from the kids
I know where your kat is 😂 and she wet 😂
Do they sell car parts or stuff like that?
waste management company … of course.
Just like the sopranos and Al Capone 😂
Tony Soprano denies everything 😂 we're legit 👌
@@karelglasner2673 😂
A Democrat 😮 Color me surprised... He must have told Newsom and Kerry the last bribery ask was too high... whoops.
He? BOT
@@californianorma876 Are you questioning their gender? SHAME
Do you think there is no corruption in the Republican party? There will always be corruption with any party. What the system needs is reform and evolve to ensure there is as little corruption as possible.
@@GKP999 I agree... I have an idea but I doubt either party would accept it.
@@masonite1973 🤣
“Oakland used to be such a nice place”, said no one ever.
This country gave them so much, and this is how they're repaying the nation.
once a communist dog, always a communist dog for all of these socialist Asians. corruption is in their DNA. this is not a surprised.
Just like the Italians in the 1930’s?
LOL Wait until the Ukrainian oligarch "refugees" begin arriving. You'll wish that the Asian mafia was back. LOL
Just doing what all great American families did before them. Trumps, Bushes, Cheneys, Kennedys, etc etc.
As sleazy as these people are I’m willing to bet they employed more people and paid more taxes than your family ever did going back ten generations.
Democrats
What a stupid remark. In fact, the Duong's are Republican. They $ave on taxes you don't.
Vietnamese
@@MrJimmysez They are the communist Vietnamese, so don't tie them with the rest of Vietnamese community here in US.
Yup, Commies
Democrats tote loads of descriptive words : sneaky, stealthily, conniving, communistic, wicked and other deviousness.
on the EAST coast.. wasn't it always said that most waste companies were somehow MOB connected ?? Hmmmmm
What bout Long Dong?
Pictures with the Department Head of Corruption Scumsom imagine that
Can’t have Asian politic corruptions in the USA but can have any other political corruptions.
I doubt only Asians are involved here, lol.
What's Manny Pacquiao doing in that photo?
🥃
He was probably invited by them.
Refund? What Refund?! Never got a cent!
The sharks will come in (class action lawsuit), and make millions for themselves. You on the other hand will get a coupon for a 2% discount on your next trash collection bill.😂😂😂
Pronunciation of the last name is incorrect by the way. Should be more like "you-ung".
Sum Long dong ???😅😅😅
Or more like "Dew-gong," like the Pokemon... ;^_^
Sounds like a Robert Deniro movie, Meeting the Dung's!
Long Phat Duong, CEO of the notorious Cal Waste Sol. crime family played by Bob De Niro
DeZero is a G man
@@seeharvester I want Asian washing of movies, not white washing.
@@OGtruthserum
Ok ok, we get Mr. Washee Washee to play Duong.
He's busy campaigning for Cuomo. America's Governor !!
they ding duong ditched their responsibilities
I am sorry, but that wasn't how you pronounced the last name of the guy and his entire family. 😅 It is not [Don]. It is [zDung]😅.
LMAO Gee - a connection between a mob family and a waste disposal company?
Im shocked! Shocked and appalled...
there's a limit on how much people can charge for recycling collection?
They thought they were one of them. WRONG!
They got their play book from Peloci 😂😂😂😂
They didn’t report the fact that the officials inspected My Duong and didn’t find shit because the the back door was never used.
Does Luong Duc Duong (Long Duck Dong) live there? (16 Candles)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who are the dongs???
The Dung's!
Lol.
There are eight Dongs in that family photo.
That whole cal recycling is a sham
Are they related to Long Duc Dong, aka "The Donger", from Sixteen Candles?
Is his brother Ding Dong?
Ho Lee Phuc
We too low
Someone beat me to it... Dang
The Dongs
This family needs to be stopped. The dhuongs seem sketchy money buys power
I would have noticed a $6 million charge on my bill.
Mayor Thao be getting that big Duong
Duong you glad they didn’t say banana?
Omg...Boooooo!
🤣
🍌
Where is Bernie Saunders when we really need him. He makes more sense than everyone else combined.
Corrupt Government and money... follow the money!
What am I missing..are the dogs and cats safe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They don't marry their pets, that's a white specialty.
🍌
Need to get @calitito to bust this case wide open. ✊
Shang Thao sounds like a Mortal Kombat villain. 🤷🏻
I love how diverse these federal agents are from the FBI to the postal inspectors (mostly Asian Americans). Not everyone in the FBI is some white boi who speaks only one language. This is the power of diversity.
So? Can they do the job or not ?
What corruption in the Vietnam community? How shocking. Yes, just ask a Vietnam vet what went on there.
I wonder how connected these people are to PLA...
Growing up on the east coast I had always heard that garbage trucks and waste management was a favorite business for the mob. I wonder if things are the same on the west coast as well?
At 1st the Duongs seem soft hearted, and non-threatening, but as soon as you apply pressure to them. Those Doungs are gonna be hard and ready to fight. They'll spit on everything and on anyone.
It's never the stealing that's the reason. These people probably stole without giving a proper tribute to the right people. That's when they get busted.
6 million? Isn't that a fair price in the overinflated city of Oakland?
The mafi in NY love garbage hauling. Gotti's son got arrested for that, I'm pretty sure.
Gov allows them to own things out here. Get rid of Politicians
This is the norm across the US but people love to point fingers at specific parties not realizing the entire system is set up this way. By design. Only the ones that get sloppy get caught, the rest continue to be corrupt as hell but organized.
He put the Duong to a lot of people😂
Maybe the question KTVU needs to be asking is: Who Exactly Is Sheng Thao?
Wow it never ends. These politicians are Getting greedy.
Hell with how they’re connected to Mayor, HOW ARE THEY CONNECTED WITH CHINA?
Sick of these dirty politicians.
Did they get Long Duck too?
Don't put much into photo ops with politicians. It is common with anyone.
Long Duong prison terms
the Duong at one time went back to VN and thought they could bribe there way in VN and then got pushed out. They came back focus in Oakland
What about ding duong?
It's not Du-ong or Dong, it's Zung.
When people demand a photo, you knew what they are using it for.
I definitely read the title as “who are the Dugongs”, and now I’m questioning my reading comprehension skills
It’s like the Chinese sopranos lol
They're Vietnamese
As an Asian all I can say is-
Ding Duong the witch is dead the Witch is dead the Witch is dead Ding Duong. Looks like GITMO might get an Asian treat!!
Moral of the story: if you wanna make a lot of money, you have to get into politics. This story is just a preview of how corrupt the Governor's office is.
When is Tiffany Henyard next?
not pronounce Dong, Dương.
Probably? Suspicion doesn’t count as evidence. Proof is needed. Pay the big guy or he’ll get upset.😅😂
Crooks !!! Please send them to jail
If the streets were safe and clean, I would say let them be a a little corrupt, they earned it! But Oakland is a dumpster fire and the city needs competent leadership
Corruption
As an Asian American, I have to admit that this is not new.
How about AIPAC?
RICO charges incoming I’ve heard
I would never work for an Asian company in America! I've seen them short change everyone!
Depooort!
Duongs bought themselves a mayor!!! This isn’t rocket science here
"that's the big questions here, who are the dongs?"
Sad 😳
Close their business down, put them in jail ....
Duong’ s family is Vietnamese - Chinese. Their parents are Immigrants from china
Ding Duongs are pretty delicious. I get mine on Temu. They are more chocolatey than Goolianis's coffee.
Gaven Newsoms friends being corrupt? No way
The Dong is very powerful indeed
Does Oakland even have a large Viet community? There are more Chinese there. I surprise they even a Viet family can even have this much influence.
Corruption is rampant in California, but it also involves communist in a larger part that love capitalism.
Deport
Dongs.
This is happening in LA!!!
Remember, it’s the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil!
Greed gets it every time!
What a Duongheap.
A suspected criminal is governing Oakland and it explains why the city has the highest crime rate in CA.
~ Who are the Dongs ?.... And how big are the Dongs ??
