gangster raymond boychow after a five-year long criminal investigation on an elg alleged chinatown -- an alleged chinatown crime syndicate. it connects him with the senator, accusing them of running that syndicate together. >> completely underwhelming. >>reporter: this man says the government's case is ludicrous and only helps their case. >> now the government instead of turning their indictment down to bring it in line with reality, what they've done is they've gone with even more extravagant theory. no average citizen is going to buy that. once they're educated on the facts, once we put that in front of the jury, there's no way that the citizens are going to make some kind of connection between my client, what leland ye was doing. >>reporter: ye's attorneys have not returned calls for comment, but legal analysts say making the senator a racketeer ups the ante for the jury. >> that makes him appear to be a very nefarious, kind of evil character, much beyond just some politician who happens to get caught taking some money that he shouldn't have taken. >>reporter: linda ye, kpix5. >> and a third major play
