Former Harvard scientist sentenced for hiding China ties

What about the “scientists” in the federal and state governments?

JTN: A former Harvard University scientist received two years of supervised release and an order to pay more than $83,000 in fines after being convicted of hiding his ties to a Chinese state-run recruitment program.

In December 2021, Charles Lieber was convicted on charges on making false statements, filing false tax returns, and failing to report a Chinese bank account, the Epoch Times reported. He also spent two days in jail as part of the sentence.

He further received a $50,000 fine and had to pay the IRS $33,600 in restitution. 

The case was part of the Department of Justice’s China Initiative, a Trump administration effort to combat illicit operations of the Chinese Communist Party. MORE
