Every time he received illegal cash, he transported it with his own car by himself to that “warehouse.”A number of safes were shown on camera, which contained around 200 million yuan in cash (about $31 million).

The link that appears in the epoch times....and is The Epoch Times a psyop for China or legitimate newspaper?

I have some doubts as to it’s legitimacy, origin, and continued operations...seems strange it has appeared and advertised so much lately...

The Epoch Times is pro Falung Gong,pro Trump and anti CCP. What's not to like?

began life as the media arm linked to Falun Gong, the same Chinese spiritual movement that puts on Shen Yun dance performances.In 2000, the Epoch Times was founded in America. Its goal was to cover Falun Gong’s persecution by the Chinese government, and it was initially successful, even winning a few awards. But something changed in 2016. After the election of Trump, the publication evidently saw an ally in its fight against the Chinese government and communism at large.

Daily Beast reports Trump mega-donor Robert Mercer's secretive hedge fund gave the Epoch Times $900,000.

The Epoch Times websites are blocked in mainland China by the Chinese communist party. The Epoch Times was founded in 2000 by John Tang and other Chinese Americans associated with the spiritual practice Falun Gong.
The Epoch Times - Wikipedia

John Tang founded New Tang Dynasty TV
The Wall Street Journal reported[citation needed] that the station broke news of SARS in 2003, three weeks before the Chinese government admitted publicly that there was an epidemic. (It went on to cause at least 774 deaths.) The station offered extensive coverage of democratic elections in Taiwan, and the death of purged former Chinese General Secretary Zhao Ziyang. The Chinese-language station regularly airs a video version of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, an editorial series offering a strong critique of Chinese Communist Party rule, which is often used against the Chinese Communist Party
