24 months for a billion that will never be recovered? That’s like making $250k per hour.

Should be 24 years, not 24 months.

24 MONTHS?

How about the death penalty? This amounts to treason, does it not?

During my career in microelectronics, I encountered three Chinese who, IMO, were engaged in industrial espionage.

As a consultant documenting a suite of microsensors in 3-D CG graphics for my last client, I was repeatedly bugged by a Chinese employee (in a distantly-related job) -- for copies of my (unreleased) graphics. When I presented my work product & retired, I also reported the probable IE activity. Have zero info as to what (if anything) happened to the guy...
