In a strange wildlife-related sting operation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to indict two Fairbanks, Alaska, residents for operating an illegal outfitting business involving bear hunting, prostitutes, and gallbladders.
According to a criminal complaint filed with a U.S. District Court in Alaska, Jun “Harry” Liang, a Chinese national, and his neighbor Brian Phelan, were implicated in a complex scheme to take clients on illicit brown bear hunts.
The two face charges for attempted violation of the Lacey Act, illegal possession of a firearm by an alien, wire fraud, and money laundering—among several others.
