2 million dollars in bribes paid to U.S. Postal Service employees helped two brothers in the trucking industry win more than $15 million in mail transport contracts, according to charging documents filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas.
Wan Jin “Sam” Yoon and Hong Jin “Jay” Yoon, who are brothers, have agreed to plead guilty to a fraud scheme described by prosecutors as starting in 2015 with a $2,500 bribe.
Kickbacks increased to eventually total more than $2 million as the fraud continued into April 2021, the most recent illicit payment listed by prosecutors. According to court records, which are being reported on for the first time by Court Watch, the Yoons used bribes to win five contracts for Colorado-based trucking companies.
