I agree that the original charge is questionable and alittle on the suspicous side. Apparently his whole business was raided though. The fact he sold to a federal agent provoked the raid ( I think ). Chong said after his term, at the risk of his son being prosecuted ( since he owns part of the company ) he plead guilty. But I'm pretty sure his lawyers just assumed that would happen.

That's what I gathered from the few articles I read.
