Chinese millionaire who owns America's second largest solar plant accused of funding New Mexico illegal weed farms where workers are treated 'like animals'
2024-03-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Chinese millionaire who owns America's second largest solar plant has been accused of funding an illegal cannabis operation that treated workers 'like animals', DailyMail.com can reveal.

Denton Peng agreed to plow more than $1million into a network of weed farms in New Mexico that trafficked up to 2,000 migrant workers, forcing them to work 14-hour days in 'horrific' conditions, according to a lawsuit filed in Santa Fe County.

It comes six years after the entrepreneur, now thought to live in California, abandoned his home country following the collapse of his solar business - a debacle that ended with Peng being placed on Beijing's most-wanted list amid accusations of fraud, the complaint alleges.
