(Weird that this hasn’t been announced by DOJ or reported by major news organizations yet.)
Aug 22: Yiyi Chen (陈依依), a 
national who was convicted in Feb (justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/t) for her role in a conspiracy to import fentanyl precursors from China to the US, was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment followed by 3 years of supervised release by District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul Gardephe.
In Feb, Chen, marketing manager at Hubei Amarvel Biotech Co, and Qingzhou Wang (王庆周), chief executive of the same company, were found guilty of conspiring to import the chemical 1-boc-4-AP, with reasonable cause that the defendants knew it would be used in the manufacture and distribution of illicit fentanyl in the US. They were also found guilty of importing methylamine and money laundering.
Amarvel, a Chinese chemical company, openly advertised the sale of chemicals used to make fentanyl and “100 percent stealth shipping” services that would ensure the precursors were sent in packaging indicating the contents were dog food, nuts, or motor oil to avoid detection and seizure. It also claimed to ship multiple tons of chemicals to the US on a monthly basis, and other shipments to Culiacan, Mexico, which is where the Sinaloa Cartel is based.
In all, Wang and Chen shipped more than 200kg of chemicals from China to California — enough to make 50kg of fentanyl, or 25 million deadly doses.
Wang will be sentenced Sep 8.
