David Frankens' House

David Frankens is a Texas based real estate mogul allegedly made 'millions of dollars' by selling vast swathes of local farmland to a Chinese billionaire with close ties to Beijing. Lufkins scored the 'deals of the century' when flipping the land at around twice its market value to Sun Guangxin, a former captain in the Chinese military, according to local realtors. The trades have sparked fury among ranchers in Val Verde County, where Sun bought more than 130,000 acres of farmland for an estimated $110million between 2016 and 2018. A report written by former CIA officials suggested the Chinese billionaire could be considered a national security risk by US authorities due to his extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party. Frankens' relationship with Sun has put him at the center of an ongoing controversy over the billionaire's Texan land grab, which saw the Xinjiang-born businessman claim 7 percent of all land in Val Verde County between 2016 and 2018.
