On July 30th, 2017, Hunter Biden allegedly contacted his Chinese business partner, Henry Zhao, a director of Harvest Fund Management.
The communication reportedly included a demand for payment of $5 million and a threat issued by both Hunter and Joe Biden. This incident came to light after IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely revealed the details on June 1st.
Prior to this event, Harvest Fund Management had invested in BHR Partners – a private investment firm co-owned by the Bank of China and founded in 2013 by Hunter Biden. Following this incident, Joe Biden purchased his luxury $2.75 million Rehoboth Beach Delaware home with all cash.
The July 2017 WhatsApp message Hunter Biden sent to Henry Zhao is as follows according to the IRS whistleblower:
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my directions. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
On August 8, 2017, a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle (Northern International) wired $5 million to the bank account of Hudson West III. This loan was described as an ‘interest-free loan’, likely in an attempt to avoid taxation.
Over the course of the next year, $4,790,375 was transferred directly from Hudson West III to Hunter Biden’s firm Owasco.
Coincidentally, Joe and Jill Biden had recently purchased a six-bedroom second property in Rehoboth Beach for $2,744,001 on June 8th – just seven weeks before his son’s shakedown messages were sent out.
Further investigation revealed that there was no record of a mortgage lien against the Rehoboth property until last December when they opened a $250,000 HELOC (home equity line of credit) against it.
The White House refuses to say why Joe Biden quietly secured the $250,000 home equity line of credit.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer responded to the latest evidence of Biden family corruption in a statement to The Daily Mail:
“The fact that Joe Biden purchased a luxurious beach house around the same time his family was receiving millions from a CCP-linked company raises many questions that need to be answered,” Comer told DailyMail.com.
“The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money trail to determine the extent of President Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling schemes and its impact on our national security,” Comer added.
White House reporters throughout the summer have consistently asked National Security Spokesperson John Kirby and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if President Joe Biden was present when a threatening message was sent to Henry Zhao via WhatsApp.
“Have you spoken to the president about this? Have you asked him whether he was there with his son on July 30, 2017?” a reporter asked KJP over the summer.
“This is not a conversation that I’ve had with the president,” KJP said.
However, pictures from the “Laptop From Hell” place Hunter at Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware house on the same day he invoked his dad’s name to threaten a Chinese business associate.
According to the metadata on the Corvette photo, Hunter Biden was present at Joe Biden’s Delaware residence on the same day he allegedly threatened Henry Zhao.

I’m sure Joe has a good reason for being able to buy a $2.75MM beach house for cash while earning a low $six figure salary for decades doing “the people’s business”. The same goes for his vintage Corvette convertible. Maybe it was his wife’s salary as a career teacher?
Aren’t you just jealous? LOL!
It is called money management, or just plain old extortion, of course that is a well know method of doing business in the east coast of the U.S., especally N.Y, N.J. and Penn. and Chicago.

The corruption with Joe Biden and his family is disgusting. Justice system turns a blind eye to all of the corruption the Bidens are doing. Joe Biden has classified documents but he’s not going to court. Wray and Garland need charged with treason. They broken their oaths to the constitution and America. The democrats just keeps breaking the law and don’t care if you live or die. Biden is the biggest idiot to sit in the Oval office. He has no morals or class. Jill is no better. She loves the White House and all the privilege that it has. Jill doesn’t want to take care of the fool so she wants to stay in the White House so the slaves can take care of idiot Joe. Joe is traitor and a liar. No one cares in Congress that he is destroying America with Obama help. Shame on the American people who do nothing but whine like spoil brats who only care about free anything because your lazy and brain dead. Joe Biden needs prison! Most unamerican unmoral person to sit in the Oval office. Some of you people thinks he’s doing a good job. You are truly sickening . The democrats and Republicans are too busy seeing who can destroy America first. liars, con men, corrupt disgusting Unamerican low life subcreatures who don’t deserve to be Americans. Deport all illegals and terrorists and take Biden with you. Biden is not a American just a stooge for the rich elites. Some one is blackmailing Biden or is he just that corrupt?
You are so damn right & I for one share your disgust for him & al the fkn brain dead that voted for him & still stand with him! At almost 83 & to quote the other racist married to the fkn Kenyan “for the first time in my life I am totally disgusted with my country” My only wish & prayer is that all that still consider to be an America hating liberal socialist democrat should suffer a slow & very long & PAINFUL DEMISE! I would include 97% of the GOP for letting this happen & I still say we need a new party & to hell with the current ones! How about the MAGA or ULTRA MAGA since the fkn despicable love to use that phrase!
Paid for with Americans taxes, and gets away with it. So why does that Anti-American, Anti-Constitution Communist criminal get to remain in Office.?
The Anti-American, Communist FBI And CIA protect every criminal act Joe Biden does, while many Americans are losing their job and homes and the do nothing Republicans are allowing him free pass to destroy America.
I’m no longer contributing to the Republican Party as they have failed Americans.
I don’t trust Biden. Even Obama joked about him when he was his VP.
Joe is not the only DEM who went to DC with little money and spent their life there doing the peoples business and came back home very wealthy after earning less than $200,000 a year from their Govt job. Guess they learned how to save and invest while in Congress or as Vice President
