Was Sunny Sheu killed for exposing corruption?

Sunny Sheu, who lived in Flushing, Queens, found out in the year 2000 that his house had been sold without his knowledge as part of a scam. He was able to fight back and get the thieves arrested, but the Mortgage Company wouldn't give him the house back. He took them to court, where, at least according to Sunny, Judge Golia didn't give him a chance to prove that he had been scammed.

Sunny was tired of not getting justice after 10 years, so he looked into the Judge's financial disclosures and found some problems. After he told them, he worried that his life might be in danger. Then, on June 26, 2010, a Queens man named Sunny Sheu was found badly hurt on a quiet street in College Point, NY. He was taken to New York Hospital of Queens, where he died soon after.

His death is still not clear.
