Los Angeles County, California Resident Sentenced to Prison for Large-Scale Fraud Claiming Loss or Damage to Over 6,000 Ground Shipments

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of Hacienda Heights, California, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and was sentenced in federal court to nine months of imprisonment, to be followed by three years of federal supervised release, on his conviction, Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced today.

On August 14, 2025, Ting Hong Yeung, 43, pleaded guilty before Chief United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak, who then imposed the sentence.

According to information presented to the Court, from in and around August 2018 through in and around June 2020, Yeung, using various corporate entities, submitted or caused to be submitted over 6,000 fraudulent claim requests for lost or damaged ground package shipments that were not actually lost or damaged. Yeung subsequently received settlement payments related to these fraudulent claim submissions for lost or damaged shipments.

Prior to imposing sentence, Chief Judge Hornak noted the seriousness of Yeung’s offense and the impact that this large-scale fraud had on the ground package delivery company.

Assistant United States Attorney Nicole A. Stockey prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.

Acting United States Attorney Rivetti commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Yeung.
