When four workers at an Oklahoma pot farm were massacred in an attention grabbing way, nobody reported anything in the press, other than that police had a suspect in custody for it. Now that Chen Wu has been sentenced for his deed, the public is finally learning what happened and why he did it. We also know why it was so embarrassing to the media. The Chinese have been quietly cornering the illegal cannabis market in America. The FBI has apparently been allowing it to happen but won’t commit to answering whether they were aware of the threat or not. Either way they respond makes them look bad.
Pot farm investment
Chen Wu took full responsibility for the pot farm massacre. He pleaded guilty at a hearing, on February 9, to “four counts of first-degree murder and to one count of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.” The public finally learned what led up to the killings on November 20, 2022.
He was sentenced to “life in prison without parole for each of the murder counts and given a 20-year prison term for the assault charge.” He’s going to serve them all “concurrently” but that doesn’t matter much, you only live once.
Court records reveal that Wu “fatally shot three men and a woman in a garage at the farm west of Hennessey.” Two days later, he was arrested in Florida.

It seems that “Wu had demanded the return of his $300,000 investment in the marijuana operation shortly before he shot the victims.” They didn’t have his cash and he wasn’t going to wait for the weed to grow.
Quirong Lin, Chen He Chun, Chen He Qiang and Fang Hui Lee “bought the farm.” A fifth person, Yi Fei Lin, was wounded. Washington Post notes that “authorities later charged Yi Fei Lin with a separate assault charge.”
That case “remains pending.” Probably because it involves that investigation so embarrassing to the feds.
Chinese cannabis control
According to police reports listed in Wu’s case, “Wu and all of the victims were Chinese citizens.” Another interesting fact, when you know the bigger picture, is that the 10-acre farm “was operating under an illegally obtained license to grow marijuana for medical purposes.”
Pot is legal for adult discretionary use in more states but there are taxes which can be evaded. In states where cannabis is still restricted, the opportunity for bootlegging is even greater.
“This case should serve as a reminder of the dangers surrounding illegal marijuana activity in Oklahoma,” said Kingfisher County District Attorney Tommy Humphries.

That’s something that’s as troubling to Maine as it is to Oklahoma. They have a whole bunch of illegal weed farm operations run by the Chinese.
Since June 2023, “15 raids on Chinese-controlled marijuana grow operations in Maine have resulted in the seizure of more than 18,000 illegally grown marijuana plants and hundreds of pounds of processed marijuana.” That has state lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and both chambers writing nasty letters to Merrick Garland.
“We applaud Maine law enforcement for their continued efforts to investigate and shutdown these illegal operations, and we encourage the DOJ and other federal partners to provide additional support for these efforts.” Every illegal pot farm hurts the American economy. “These illegal growing operations are detrimental to Maine businesses that comply with State laws, and we urge the DOJ to shut them down.“
