    Who is Eugene Yu? Konnech CEO Arrested Over Alleged Data Theft

    BY KHALEDA RAHMAN ON 10/05/22 AT 4:33 AM EDT

    U.S. CRIME VOTING LOS ANGELES MICHIGAN
    The founder and CEO of an elections technology company targeted by election deniers was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stealing poll worker data.



    Eugene Yu, 51, of Konnech Corporation, was arrested in Meridian Township in Michigan on Tuesday and held on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information, Los Angeles County district attorney George Gascón said in a statement.

    The district attorney's office is seeking his extradition to California.


    Computer hard drives and other "digital evidence" were seized by investigators from the LA County district attorney's office.

    Yu's company, Konnech, is based in East Lansing, Michigan. It distributes PollChief software to track poll worker schedules, communications and payroll.

    The software requires workers to submit personal identifying information, which is retained by Konnech.

    Under a five-year, $2.9 million contract with LA County, Konnech was supposed to securely maintain the data in the U.S. and only provide access to citizens and permanent residents.

    Gascón didn't specify what specific information was allegedly taken.

    But he said the investigation only involved the personal identifying information of election workers, and that "the alleged conduct had no impact on the tabulation of votes and did not alter election results."

    We are seeing a whole set of crimes by the Republicans and Russian intelligence that do not make sense... yet.

    They Tie in together



    This was how they got the names and addresses of the poll workers they needed to threaten and scare out of their jobs so they could replace them with trumpers

    It appears the charges involve him keeping poll worker data outside the US in China. Nothing about providing the data to MAGAts.

    At one point, the company had 32 clients in North America, according to its website, including the City of Detroit and Dekalb County, Georgia. Since Yu’s arrest, Detroit and two counties have ended their contracts with Konnech. However, Dekalb and LA counties have opted to keep their contracts going through the upcoming midterm elections, according to a report from The New York Times.

    Critically, even if poll worker data was shared with two sub-contractors in China, there is no evidence of any identity theft resulting from that. Further, whether or not election worker information was shared has no bearing on election results, vote totals, or anything else which would relate to True the Vote’s unfounded, voter fraud conspiracy theories.

    They have evidence he stored info in China



    Then China could access that info and use bot holes on line to distribute the names and locations of these people to racist assholes who love to vomit crimes against people

    When will the GOP stop projecting all their crimes on their political enemies? I'm guessing, "Not until the party dies".
