“Controversial figure Jesse Zhu ensnared in legal battles”

Jesse Jia-Bei Zhu’s troubled past has resurfaced in the U.S. in connection to allegations involving labs in California and Nevada. Zhu, a Chinese and Canadian citizen, faced legal issues in 2015 in Canada and is currently detained in the U.S. since 2023 over a separate biological lab discovery. He has been linked to controversial activities related to the bull semen industry and the distribution of adulterated COVID-19 tests. Despite his claims of innocence, Zhu remains entangled in legal battles, including a $270 million judgment against him. Court documents reveal a complex journey that led Zhu from Canada to the U.S., raising questions about his business practices and ties to government grants. The congressional report highlighted concerns over laboratory oversight and the need for safeguards in pathogenic research. Recent events involving FBI raids in California and Las Vegas have further drawn attention to Zhu’s activities, although he is not charged in the Las Vegas case. Meanwhile, XY LLC continues its legal pursuit against Zhu, seeking to enforce court judgments and exposing what they describe as “fraud of epic proportions.”
