In 1992 Chow was arrested for racketeering, later separated into two separate trials. The first was for illegal gun sales and the second was for male prostitution, drugs and money laundering. Convicted in 1995, Chow was sentenced to 24 years.[1] When Peter Chong was captured, Chow turned snitch and cooperated with authorities, testifying against his former boss. In 1996 Chow was tried again for racketeering, but the indictment was dismissed.:
