Background and Discussion:

Jiaxin Jiang was the named respondent in OR#2404-08381.

 

HC District Attorney Office declined to accept the potential Ch 18 case for the money seized, as a result the funds deposited in escrow was sent back to HCSO in the sum of $2,025.75 (inclusive of interest earned). The amount seized needs to be returned to the respondent because of the rejected proceeding of HC DA Office.
