Food stamps for cash: Store owners, staff charged in $4M fraud scheme

A second case involves H&L Super Market in the Tenderloin, with fraud losses exceeding $500,000. Hoang Le, Runcheng He, and Yulian Luo face similar charges. The third case involves Clement Dung Market in the Richmond, also with losses exceeding $500,000. Dung Ngoc Huyhn, Kuo Hon Wong, Conhi Truong, and Hau Dinh Ho face conspiracy and fraud charges.

The metal gates at H&L Super Market at 669 Geary St. were padlocked Thursday. A sign saying “We accept EBT” appeared to have been sprayed over with black paint.

Justin Marks, owner of Low Key Skate Shop a few doors down, said he believed the business had been closed for at least six or seven months.

“It was a shame,” Marks said. “That shop had lots of everything inside.”
