Liu, who also committed to a multi-million-dollar tourism project in Mt. Hartman, Grenada last year, has been charged with violating U.S. anti-fraud laws. Along with partner Xin “Lisa” Wang, Liu has been charged by The Securities and Exchange Commission has for running a visa scheme misusing two-thirds of the US $27 million raised from dozens of Chinese investors seeking visas.
According to the SEC, the funds were to be invested in a cancer treatment facility, a project that would have helped Chinese investors obtain permanent U.S. immigration visas under a federal program known as EB-5. However, the funds were reportedly transferred to three firms in China, including one in which Liu is chief executive and chairman.
