US cancer centre leaders secretly worked for China, internal report finds (Florida)
BMJ ^ | 1-22-2020 | Owen Dyer

Six researchers who resigned last month from Florida’s Moffitt Cancer Center admitted to opening secret bank accounts in China to hide millions that they received from China’s Thousand Talents programme, say the preliminary findings of an internal investigation.

Among the six were Alan List, Moffitt’s president and chief executive officer, and the centre’s director, Thomas Sellers. They are the latest and most senior researchers to lose their jobs in a nationwide hunt for academics suspected of working for China, in what US authorities claim is an organised attempt to steal intellectual property.

At least 200 people are being investigated at 71 US hospitals, universities, and research institutions. Most of these investigations began when letters arrived from the US …

Our leaders in the U.S. are so damn ignorant. We allow the Chi-coms to access our institutions of higher learning, hospital research facilities, corporate America...is it no wonder the Chinese are gaining on our technological advantage? Good grief!

I was employed with L-3 some years ago as a Program Manager. One of the things under development at the time was next gen quiet sub tech. There was an engineer on the development team of Chinese descent. He was born in the USA to Chinese immigrant parents.
He was stopped at LAX by the FBI. He had on him detailed engineering drawings and specs for the quiet sub electrical power systems under development. The flight was from LA to China.
His father and his fathers brother were also arrested. Turns out they had groomed their sons from a young age to become engineers, get into the defense industry and work quietly, lay low until he rose up in the company, earned trust and, when he got a chance to work on something extremely valuable he was to use his position and trust to steal the info and get it to China.
He did exactly that. What tipped off the FBI? I don’t know. Damned glad they caught the guy though.

Who was the last President working for and Where did he get his millions?

Same with the Clinton's.Where did they get there Millions?If not Billions.

We need to stop prosecuting the little fish and go after these political parasite who took an Oath to protect the Constitution and all they're doing is filling their bank accounts with bribes from potential enemies.

In 2018, Moffitt was named LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. [41] The cancer center was also named one of Working Mother Magazine’s 100 Best Companies for 10th time.[42]

Seems like there has been a pretty wide-ranging effort to weed out ChiCom money, influence and agents from our high tech, over the last year or so.

Kind of like how China rolled up a bunch of our intelligence assets in China the year after Obama took office, only the other way around (and without all the executions).

The Chinese can not do ANYTHING original. They steal and copy off everyone else.

Smh on these traitors who helped them.

We were led to believe that the Chinese were so BRILLIANT, and dedicated and “honorable” that we would never catch up with their culture and research results.

Turns out THEY ARE A CULTURE OF THIEVES AND CHARLATANS and all that exotic mystique is NOTHING BUT LIES.

WOW, how low they have fallen in my esteem.
And they pretend to be SO honorable. Aren’t they the ones who commit hari kari if disgraced.

Well, there should be a lot of hari kari happening right now and not soon enough.

GEESH.
