Mechanical engineering professor Gang Chen faces charges of wire fraud, failing to file a foreign bank account report, and making a false statement in a tax return, the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston revealed Thursday.

Hey, I’m sure this guy did far less than Hunter. Slap on the wrist, let him go. At least that’s what the CCP will tell them to do.

Onthebrink :" Mechanical engineering professor Gang Chen faces charges of wire fraud, failing to file a foreign bank account report,
and making a false statement in a tax return,.."

What was Gang Chen working on that China invested $$19 Million in him,
and the U.S.A. invested $20 Million from the Dept. of Energy.
Therein resides 'the real story of this spy work' !

A lot of professors arrested for hiding their relationship with China during the past 2 years. I bet not many will be arrest over the next 2 years.

“Mechanical engineering professor Gang Chen faces charges...”

You can tell by his name, his ancestors came in with the Pilgrims. How surprising he would be a spy.

Twenty million grant from the Energy Dept.? How many of those go out? One would think few enough to be very, very careful.

Such broad-mindedness. Sometimes you can be so broadminded you brains fall out, to quote Thomas Sowell. I bet you are surprised he was a spy.

Benedict Arnold did some good work, until he didn’t. He just happened to be in love with the wrong female. But when you are at war, it is stupid to make people who are recently, and still, connected with your enemy have access to secret technology.

The deep state just arranged the usurpation to the Oval Office of an old pervert who concealed his ties to the chinee government.

I believe that the problems in Hong Kong led to the defection of a high ranking Chinese intelligence agent. There have been a spate of arrests in the USA, and the FBI is not that good.
