Based on the profit being sought, I think it's safe to assume the CCP is hurting for oil.

Three Texans, One New Yorker Indicted for Conspiracy to Sell Sanctioned Iranian Petroleum to Refinery in China for Millions in Profit
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania William M. McSwain announced that the following defendants were indicted on charges of conspiracy, violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and money laundering conspiracy based on their attempt to transact in sanctioned Iranian petroleum:

Nicholas Hovan, 34, of New York, NY;
Zhenyu Wang, aka "Bill Wang," 39, of Dallas, TX;
Robert Thwaites, 30, of Dallas, TX; and
Daniel Ray Lane, 39, of McKinney, TX.

"The defendants in this case allegedly conspired to sell Iranian petroleum to a Chinese refinery in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the US Iran sanctions regime," said Assistant Attorney General Demers.  "The defendants devised a scheme to use front companies, bribes, and false contractual documents in order to conceal their brazenly illicit activity.  We will continue to leverage all of our tools to detect and prevent individuals such as these from engaging in actions that would have harmed the national security of this nation."

"It doesn't get much lower than attempting to get rich by flouting the United States' national security interests," said U.S. Attorney McSwain. "The defendants here allegedly jeopardized the safety and security of the United States by scheming to get in bed with Iran and China.  This type of conspiracy deserves the full condemnation of my office and it has it."

The indictment alleges that from May 2019 to February 2020, the defendants conspired in Philadelphia and elsewhere to arrange for the purchase of petroleum from the Islamic Republic of Iran, in violation of United States economic sanctions imposed on Iran, for sale to a refinery in the People's Republic of China.  They also allegedly conspired to launder the proceeds of the sale through shell entities and offshore financial accounts to disguise the nature of the transaction.  The defendants are charged with conspiring to purchase sanctioned Iranian petroleum, to sell the petroleum to a Chinese refinery, to conceal the origin of the petroleum (including by bribing a Chinese official), and to obtain Antigua passports to open Swiss bank accounts through which the proceeds would be laundered.

In February 2020, the defendants were arrested pursuant to a criminal complaint.  As previously reported, the defendants planned two shipments of oil per month going forward, all for an expected profit of roughly $28 million-per-month.

If convicted, the defendants face a maximum possible sentence of 45 years' imprisonment, a $1.75 million fine, a three-year term of supervised release, and a $300 special assessment.

The case was investigated by the FBI and is being prosecuted by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Rinaldi and in partnership with Trial Attorney David Recker of the Department of Justice's National Security Division, Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

An indictment, information, or criminal complaint is an accusation.  A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty

A Seattle-based nonprofit that serves food to protesters said Thursday that several of its members were still in police custody in Kenosha, Wis., after law enforcement officers sprung from unmarked cars and arrested them ahead of Wednesday night's demonstrations in the city.

Police said they recovered helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks and suspected controlled substances from the vehicles. Nine people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges. Police did not immediately release their names.

From the article it seems these will be local charges. Too bad. The feds would be more aggressive in prosecution.

Keep in mind, this is just Portland. Federal charges under Trump are going to be a bitch.

74 Facing Federal Charges for Crimes Committed During Portland Riots


Seventy-four people are facing federal charges for crimes committed during rioting in Portland in recent months.

Unrest has shaken Oregon's largest city since May 28.

The people charged include Dakota Means, 20, accused of assaulting a federal officer on Aug. 24; Gabriel Agard-Berryhill, 18, accused of throwing a bomb at the federal courthouse in downtown Portland on July 28; and Richard Lindstedt, 33, accused of operating a drone in restricted airspace in late July.

Other crimes include damaging federal property and failing to obey lawful orders.

"Violent agitators have hijacked any semblance of First Amendment protected activity, engaging in violent criminal acts and destruction of public safety," Oregon's U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said in a statement.

"The U.S. Attorney's Office and our federal law enforcement partners are expeditiously working with local and state law enforcement to identify, arrest, and prosecute these individuals that are disrupting the rule of law in our communities and physically attacking our law enforcement officers and destroying property. Violent agitators not only delay real reform, but make our community less safe by keeping law enforcement from responding to other critical calls for service."
