A whistleblower recently filed a lawsuit against Konnech, Inc. and its CEO Eugene Yu that backs up allegations from the non-profit True the Vote that the company stored American poll worker data in China, according to a report.
According to a December 22, 2022, verified complaint from former Konnech employee and whistleblower Grant Bradley reported by the Federalist on Friday, the firm "Illegally" stored information on servers housed in China.
The Federalist reported: "That allegation suggests that Konnech had stored data on 'servers housed in China,' and that possibility resurrects concerns over the FBI's involvement in the investigation of Konnech, as well as the L.A. district attorney's decision to drop the criminal charges it had brought against Yu.".
Under a $2.9 million, five-year contract with L.A. County, Konnech was supposed to "Securely maintain the data and that only United States citizens and permanent residents have access to it." However, the press release said, "District Attorney investigators found that in contradiction to the contract, information was stored on servers in the People's Republic of China."
True the Vote then decided to go public with the information in August 2022, and in September 2022, Konnech sued them for defamation, denying that they had ever stored "Any actual customer or poll worker data on any server in China." In October 2022, Yu was arrested and a search warrant was executed at Konnech in Michigan.
In November 2022, Gascón moved to dismiss the criminal charges against Yu. The complaint said that after True the Vote's allegations against Konnech, Bradley began investigating the "Extent of the information provided to the Chinese programmers by Defendants Yu and Konnech and began researching state and federal laws regarding the sharing of personal identifying information with foreign nationals."
The complaint also said Bradley had "Confirmed that Defendants Yu and Konnech had been providing to these Chinese programmers private data of poll workers, to include social security numbers and other personal identifying information."
