FBI Raids Net Raymond ‘Shrimp Boy’ Chow: Collected Gambling Debts for Triad

A series of FBI raids in both the San Francisco and Sacramento areas resulted in the arrest of Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, a former member of a Chinatown street gang and latest member of a Hong Kong-based triad allegedly tied to Hong Kong and San Francisco-based gambling dens. 

The local San Francisco CBS affiliate, KCBS, reports that Chow was convicted of six gun charges in federal court in 1995 and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

He was also the leader of a criminal faction of the San Francisco group called the Hop Sing Tong, which started as a national business association of Chinese immigrants in the 19th century.  They also collected money from gambling dens in both Hong Kong and San Francisco.

Chow is rumored to have some role in the 2006 San Francisco execution-style murder of Allen Leung , the head of Chinatown fraternal organization, a murder which remains unsolved.

In recent years, Chow has tried to distance himself from his criminal past.
