The owner of a Philadelphia-based temporary labor firm has admitted bribing a senior investigator in the New Jersey Labor Department.
The U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday that Channavel "Danny" Kong of Philadelphia pleaded guilty Feb. 2 to bribery and failure to pay employment taxes.
The 38-year-old Kong remains free on bond pending his May 28 sentencing.
He owned Sunrise Labor, a company that provided temporary employees to businesses and usually assumed responsibility for withholding and paying state and federal payroll taxes.
Kong admitted that from 2006 through January 2009 he paid more than $55,000 to labor investigator Joseph Rivera to protect the company from state audits. Rivera pleaded guilty in March 2009 to accepting bribes.
