Did you know the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations has a most wanted fugitives list? The tradition of Most Wanted lists began with the FBI in 1950. Approved by the FBI director himself, the list has featured more than 500 fugitives, 94% of whom have been captured or located. Whether the posters are at your local post office or on line they are a powerful tool used by federal law enforcement and send a message that they are serious about these criminals.

The latest edition of the FDAs most wanted list includes Nhan Huhn Dat Nguyen. He is accused of fish fraud, that’s right, importing one fish but labeling it as another. 12 individuals or corporations have already either pleaded guilty or been convicted on charges related to this criminal conspiracy.

Putting accused fraudsters like this on the FDA’s most wanted list shows a seriousness and focus on this issue that highlights the need for more enforcement, not more laws. The more criminals see charges of fish fraud showing up the most wanted list, the more they’ll think twice about it.
