The saga continues... Shrimp Boy sure has had quite a life. He is a legendary crime boss operating out of Chinatown in San Fransisco. You guys have probably seen this guy before. He's been all over television and social media for years telling his life story and trying convince everyone that he has gone legit. The city of San Francisco even awarded him with a "Certificate of Honor" in 2006. He poses in pictures with the city's mayor and with celebrities, but old Shrimpy has definitely been around the block. He's done bids in both state of fed for his gang, the Hop Sing Tong. After spending the 80s and 90s locked up for different cases, he cut a deal for early release and testified against his old boss but refused to go into witness protection. When he got out of the joint early for testifying in court, he went back to his old hood like nothing happened. I guess he's up to old tricks again

Well, he just got popped again. The details are sketchy but the reports are that he's been picked up with a state senator. This is going to get more interesting once the full story comes out.

The arrest of state Sen. Leland Yee shook California political watchers Wednesday, but for followers of Bay Area crime it was the arrest of a San Francisco figure known as "Shrimp Boy" that caught their attention.

Both Yee and Raymond Chow, AKA "Shrimp Boy," were arrested in a serial of raids in a sweeping public corruption probe.

Chow was at the center of organized crime in San Francisco’s Chinatown for decades, according to federal court documents. On his Facebook and Twitter accounts, he bills himself as a reformed gangster who now advocates on behalf of children.

Chow was born in Hong Kong in 1960 and came to the United States at 16. His grandmother, documents and law enforcement sources say, gave him the nickname “Shrimp Boy,” in part because of his small stature.

This guy loves social media...
