U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Brooks today sentenced Simon Ang to 1 year and 1 day in prison for lying to FBI about his status as an inventor. He was also fined $5500. Ang, a former engineering professor at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, was ordered to report to federal prison on 20 July to begin serving his sentence, after which he will be on supervised release for 1 year.
“I think the U.S. government is beginning to understand that the China Initiative is a misguided strategy that has strayed far from its original goals,” Ang’s lawyer, Drew Ledbetter, toldInsider after the plea agreement was announced this morning in a federal court in Arkansas. “Scaring researchers is counterproductive and ultimately will only suppress collaborative research at academic institutions.
The agreement asks the judge to impose a prison sentence of 366 days on the sole count of denying Ang was listed as a co-inventor on several Chinese patents when an FBI agent interviewed him after his arrest. Ledbetter says it will likely be several months before the judge imposes a sentence, and that the duration was chosen because anyone sentenced to more than 1 year “may obtain early release for good behavior.
