Sunny Sheu was a homeowner whose house was fraudulently seized and sold in 2005[1]. He started to investigate and uncovered evidence of fraud, and brought a case which was assigned to Justice Joseph Golia, whose financial affairs he investigated before meeting an untimely death from a head injury in 2010. A few days previously he had produced a video in which he stated that if anything were to happen to him, it would be the work of Golia.
Background
Sunny Sheu owned a home in Queens, New York. His house was seized fraudulently and sold in 2005[1]. He started to investigate and uncovered evidence of fraud, and brought a case which was assigned to Justice Joseph Golia in the State Supreme Court of Queens. In spite of a lot of evidence, Justice Golia denied that fraud had occurred.
Sunny Sheu then decided to investigate Golia’s financial disclosure statements, and uncovered multi-million dollar discrepancies. He went to the FBI, CCRB, the Attorney General and other authorities[2] but found a lack of interest. On Thursday, June 24, 2010 he announced that he had evidence sufficient to have Golia arrested.
Murder
Two days after announcing that he had enough evidence to have Golia arrested, Sunny was found comatose and died soon after. Zeeshan Ahmed, the ER doctor attending Sunny reportedly said that there was "not a scratch on his head", and Detective Chris Austin of the 109th Precinct falsely stated that there was "no head injury" and that Sheu died from "natural causes" - i.e. an aneurism. Their story has some inconsistencies and is contradicted by that of the medical examiner that performed the autopsy, who said that Sunny died from a trauma to the head.[2][3]
Cover-up
A letter from NYPD to the Medical Examiner claims that "no criminality" was involved, and gives the time of Sunny's death as 18:15, June 26, 2010. This document references a witness to the event, [4]
FOIA requests have uncovered that 9 hours after his time of death, at 5:00 a.m., NYPD arrived to remove the body and speedily cremate within hours, in spite of concluding without an investigation that his death was natural.
Video
In 2010 he made a video and published it on YouTube. The transcript is:
"Hi my name is Sunny Sheu. I have filed a complaint to the FBI and the New York State Unified Court Ethics Committee about Judge Joseph Golia [who] falsified his financial disclosure statement. And I have submitted evidence to the FBI recently. [The] FBI sent me [a] copy of the evidence that I sent to the FBI.
And today, April 9th, the Unified Court ethics director, Janice Howard, she called me [that] Judge Joseph Golia already amended his financial disclosure statement. This means my evidence is true. At least that he was forced to amend (misrepresentations) on his financial disclosure statement.
For the security issues, for the security concerns, I make this recording, that if anything wrong goes to me, it should be come from Judge Golia and his people because before I had been kidnapped by his people, and threatened and intimidated by his people not to file a complaint against Judge Golia.
So I make this recording for safety. For protection. If anything wrong please go to Judge Golia and his people.
Thank you very much."
