The $400 Million Mystery — Inside the FBI’s Secret File on Chen Zhi’s American Empire
The $400 Million Mystery — Inside the FBI’s Secret File on Chen Zhi’s American Empire
Behind a sealed door inside FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C., a confidential folder stamped “Subject: Prince Group” triggered one of the most complex financial investigations in modern American history. This video uncovers the classified story hidden inside that file — a trail of more than $400 million quietly flowing from Phnom Penh through Singapore, Hong Kong, and into the heart of the U.S. financial system.
What agents discovered was not just a series of clean transactions — but a meticulously engineered network of shell companies, offshore signatures, and influence pathways that reshaped how the bureau understood modern foreign capital. At the center of it all stood Chen Zhi, a billionaire celebrated publicly for philanthropy and development, yet tied privately to a financial architecture that raised alarms from FinCEN to the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.
This investigation takes you inside Project Silk Chain, the covert task force assigned to uncover the truth behind these transfers. From a $93 million Los Angeles mansion to inflated art purchases in New York, from venture capital entries in Silicon Valley to political access built through philanthropic branding, every layer exposed a deeper question:
Where does legal investment end — and strategic influence begin?
Tonight, we open the file Washington tried to bury. This is the story of the network, the silence, and the $400 million mystery that the FBI could not ignore.
