 MIT Professor Arrested and Charged with Grant Fraud for Failing to Disclose Work For Chinese Government


https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/mit-professor-arrested-charged-grant-fraud-failing-disclose-work-chinese-government/

There has been a series of arrest of US scientists working with the Chinese including people at LANL. This is just the latest one. Of course one could ask if this is going to end with the new administration.

I don’t know how or if this changes with the Biden administration. It’s become a law enforcement issue. We’ve brought a lot of Chinese over here and put them in important positions in academia. We have 400,000 Chinese studying in the United States. We give security clearances to former citizens of the PRC and Taiwan. We support Chinese industries as we de-industrialize our own. I believe we have an implicit policy to benefit China, a product of the Cold War where we wanted to leverage China against the Soviet Union.

I wonder how many of his students/post docs are also working for the PRC.

"I don’t know how or if this changes with the Biden administration."

I think it will still be considered illegal but the administration could say this is not a priority so if there where a bunch of people working on this in the FBI and they could simply start working on something else like domestic terror, human trafficking act. Trump had a real problem with China and all these arrest came under his watch so there may have been implicit push for this. Of course I have no real knowledge how they decide what areas and the Biden administration may be told by the agencies that this is a threat area. I also think the high tech industry is getting tired of having intellectual property stolen and will keep pressuring the government to do something about this.

I am no fan of the Sir farts-a-lot either but he did not know the person was a spy. I am not even sure he was briefed on possible threats so I would not blame him. Sure you can make fun of him and I feel kind of bad for the spy but he is getting to much flack for this.

I looked at Charles Leibers group at Harvard, he was arrested a year or two ago. If you look at former group membershttp://cml.harvard.edu/people/former-group-members

I think there could be pattern but I am not sure.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

tcp1 looking good

By scooby
I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
