The story of the would-be redevelopers of Plantation’s Fashion Mall just took yet another strange turn, with partner Wei Chen’s appearance on a Chinese government list of alleged economic fugitives.

Chen, who changed his name from He Yejun after immigrating to the U.S., is accused of embezzlement. Prosecutors say he was a high-level executive at a state-owned Chinese brewery who made off with about $120,000 in 1999 and has been on the lam in the U.S. ever since.
