As former city Comptroller John Liu mounts another comeback attempt, the woman who took the fall for his past campaign’s illegal fundraising is down in the dumplings.

Jia “Jenny” Hou now works for a factory specializing in the doughy delicacy — and suffered from “post-incarceration syndrome,” court filings show. The gig came after she nearly got deported to China following a 10-month stint in federal prison for a “straw donor” scheme to boost Liu’s 2013 bid for mayor.

This January, Hou, 31, began working for Vanessa’s Dumpling House as catering director, her attorney told the court this month.

“She now oversees the company’s catering, wholesale, inventory and operations sectors and soon will be promoted to the position of General Operations Manager,” Hou’s attorney, Sheryl Reich, wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan on Aug. 2.

The scandal-scarred ex-comptroller was never charged himself, but in 2013 Hou and his fundraiser Xing Wu Pan were convicted of trying to funnel illegal money to Liu’s 2013 campaign using “straw donors” – people whose contributions are reimbursed by others.

A Manhattan federal jury convicted Hou of attempted wire fraud, obstruction of justice and making false statements, but she was acquitted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

After she served 10 months in a West Virginia federal prison, Hou was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in December 2016 and almost booted from the country. Hou, who was a permanent resident and not a citizen when she was convicted, successfully challenged the deportation and was finally released on March 22, 2017.

Hou got counselling for post-incarceration syndrome — a kind of PTSD — when she got home.

“For the first month or so, she felt extreme anxiety upon returning to society, and was afraid to leave her home,” Reich wrote. “Starting in May 2017, she began to participate in more outdoor activities and exercises and in June 2017, she began planning her wedding, which took place in September 2017.”

Her attorney was asking the court to allow a “desperate” Hou, who is still on probation, to say goodbye to her dying grandfather in China while still on probation. The judge approved the request the same day, but her granddad died later that night of cancer that was first diagnosed while Hou was still in prison.

Liu, who launched his second Democratic primary challenge against Queens state Sen. Tony Avella in July, reportedly sat with Hou’s family in immigration court last year and appears to still be on good terms with her. Last summer, Hou even participated in a Spartan Race with the pol.

Hou began working for Liu’s doomed mayoral campaign around December 2010, according to court papers. The owner of the dumpling factory where she works now, Vanessa Weng, gave Liu’s mayoral campaign $800 in April 2011 while Hou was treasurer, filings show.

Hou declined to comment.

“She’s not a public person and she has a right to live her life… and that’s what she’s doing,” said her lawyer, Reich.

Liu said in a statement: “That’s all old news since Jenny has gone on with her life, managing one of the most successful small businesses here in NYC, and running an occasional Spartan race with me.”
