Cheng Chui Ping

Summary From her base in New York City, Cheng Chui Ping ran one of the most sophisticated and largest human smuggling operations of all time. Over the course of two decades "Sister Ping" made some $40 million dollars capitalizing on the hopes and dreams of immigrants looking for an escape from Communist China to America. Transported via cargo ships with very little food or water, her customers were human cargo, imprisoned until all their trip fees were paid. In 1993, one of her ships ran aground with nearly 300 passengers, prompting the FBI and INS to launch an investigation attempting to capture the woman who became known to authorities as, "the mother of all snakeheads."
