Arrest warrant was issued for man with history of identity theft, charged with stealing nearly $3 million from a missing couple

Yinye “Roy” Wang was a no-show at his federal court arraignment in Long Island, New York on Monday

Wealthy couple Peishuan Fan, 48, and JuanJuan Zwang, 44, who emigrated from China in 2022, vanished from their home in Nassau County on April 2, 2025

Wang, 36, and Quiju Wu, 55, have been charged with stealing nearly $2.8 million from the missing Long Island couple

Shortly after they vanished, missing couple both were added to Wu’s account at some point, listed as “joint with rights of survivorship”

Then cash was withdrawn or transferred to accounts related to Wu and Wang

Wang’s failure to appear in US District Court in Central Islip, Sept. 22, left his co-conspirator, Wu, to face prosecution alone

Whereabouts or fate of missing couple has not been determined

A man charged in New York with stealing nearly $3 million from a missing couple did not show up for his federal court arraignment on Monday, consequently a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
“Once [Wang], is apprehended we will arrange for his arraignment,” Judge James M. Wicks said on Monday.
Yinye ‘Roy’ Wang, 36, of Roslyn, LI, and Qiuju Wu, 55, of Queens, New York are facing federal bank-fraud charges for siphoning $2.8 million from accounts belonging to still-missing businessman Peishuan Fan, 48, and his 44-year-old wife JuanJuan Zwang, who bought their $3.8 million home with cash after emigrating from China in 2022, vanished from the home in Old Brookville, Nassau County, on April 2.
Shortly after they went missing prosecutors said, their bank account was raided. Prosecutors allege that Wang and Wu committed bank-fraud by using forged or fraudulent documents and false representations to alter account ownership and move large sums out of the victims’ accounts, and into accounts controlled or associated with Wu and Wang.
According to the criminal complaint hundreds of thousands of dollars were methodically withdrawn or transferred to other accounts between July and August. It was uncovered that couple had been added to Wu’s account at some point, listed as “joint with rights of survivorship,”
Feds said that around June 29, 2025, the account of “Victim-1” was allegedly converted from an individual account to a joint account “with rights of survivorship” which included an account linked to Wu. In the days immediately after that change, more than $1 million was moved from the victim’s account into an account tied to Wu.
Around July 2, 2025, a similar alteration and transfer occurred with “Victim-2” — prosecutors allege $860,000 was transferred out of that account, with additional transfers and withdrawals in early July that together amounted to multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Over the period between late June and early/mid-July $2.8 million was moved out of the victims’ accounts into accounts tied to Wu and to corporate entities associated with the defendants.

Businessman Peishuan Fan and his wife, JuanJuan Zwang, who emigrated from China in 2022 vanished from their Old Brookville home on April 2, before millions of dollars was drained from their bank accounts

With Yinye “Roy” Wang facing bank fraud charges for allegedly stealing from Paishuan Fan and his wife, Juanjuan Zwang, he was scheduled to appear before the judge in US District Court in Central Islip.
Wang skipped town instead, leaving his co-conspirator, Wu, to face prosecution alone.
Qiuju Wu was spotted on security cameras inside two different banks in Queens where some of the transactions were executed. Wang was spotted with her during one of those transactions.
Prosecutors allege Wang has a history of identities theft, in some cases involving accounts connected to the one of the two same Flushing bank branches where transfers were made.
Wu was arrested in Texas and is being held with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer because she has no lawful immigration status, before making an appearance September 22, in the Long Island federal courtroom.
Wang was arrested in California and released on bond pending Monday’s court appearance.
His lawyer, Felipe Garcia, told the judge that he last heard from his client nearly a week ago, when he reported that he was not allowed to board a plane to New York because he did not have his passport or a Real ID that is now required to board a domestic flight.

Instead, Wang reportedly said he would drive cross country to make it to court, but has not been heard from since, the lawyer said.
Wang’s priors includes being flagged at a TSA checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport with numerous cell phones, IDs and credit cards with different names on them in December 2023.
Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding the victim couple remains under investigation by Nassau County cops, though no charges have been filed in their disappearance.
Last time they were seen, the couple ate dinner with their sons, 12 and 20, along with some of the younger child’s friends the night before the children went on a trip to the Catskills the next morning.
Meanwhile, the couple’s two children after living in the home alone, have since moved back to China.
