Oklahoma Attorney General seal
OKLAHOMA CITY (April 27, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond issued Monday the following statement after an Oklahoma County judge granted the state’s motion to deny bond for Hao Chen:
“Today’s ruling reflects the serious nature of the charges facing Hao Chen. The court’s decision to deny bond entirely recognizes that an individual accused of running a billion-dollar criminal operation and facing 18 felony counts poses a significant risk to our community. We are committed to seeing this case through and will continue to work diligently to hold all those responsible for this illegal operation fully accountable under the law.”
Chen was taken into custody Monday and is being held without bond. He is accused of leading a sophisticated criminal enterprise and was arrested in January as part of Operation Blunt Force. The operation resulted in 20 arrests across multiple states.
