Extract:

>Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, owns stocks valued between $1 million to $5 million in a company that controls [Shein](https://www.wired.com/story/fast-cheap-out-of-control-inside-rise-of-shein/), a [controversial](https://www.wired.com/story/the-shein-gig-workers-packing-your-order/) ecommerce and fashion giant founded in China, according to lobbying and corporate records from three countries reviewed by WIRED. They show that Patel began consulting for Shein [one month before](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/9d69c556-867b-40d6-b5fb-c5f7706855f4/print/) the company also retained the services of a lobbying firm where Pam Bondi, Trump’s newly confirmed US attorney general, worked at the time.

Sounds like a trade surplus. Trump and friends could learn a thing or two from him.
