两名中国“千人计划”的华裔教授在美分别被判刑和逮捕,美国还有多少这样的内鬼?

美国司法部周一宣布,来自乔治亚州亚特兰大市的63岁前埃默里大学教授、华裔生物学家李晓江(Xiao-Jiang Li 音译)因提交虚假纳税申报单被定罪并判刑,并勒令偿还35,089美元。。

李晓江是中国“千人计划”的参与者,先后在中国科学院和暨南大学工作,却没有在联邦纳税单上申报任何海外收入。现在那些千人计划中的人都有可能被送上法庭的。

Former Emory University Professor and Chinese “Thousand Talents” Participant Convicted and Sentenced for Filing a False Tax Return


On May 8, 2020, Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li, 63, of Atlanta, Georgia, pleaded guilty to a criminal information charging him with filing a false tax return and has been sentenced by a U.S. District Judge on the same day. Dr. Li, a former Emory University professor and Chinese Thousand Talents Program participant, worked overseas at Chinese Universities and did not report any of his foreign income on his federal tax returns.

“The Department of Justice remains vigilant over programs such as the Thousand Talents Program that recruits professors and researchers to work for China,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “In this case Li was caught in his lack of transparency. We are grateful for the work our partners have done to bring light to this case.”

“This defendant thought that he could live two, separate lives — one here at Emory University and one in China as a Thousand Talents Program participant,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “Eventually, the truth caught up to this defendant, and he is now a convicted felon who is ordered to repay over $35,000 to the IRS.”

"Li's actions demonstrated a flagrant disrespect for the law and all taxpayers," said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. "The FBI and our federal partners will always pursue individuals like Li, who victimize innocent taxpayers for their own personal gain."

“IRS Criminal Investigation is diligent when it comes to enforcing tax laws directed at those who attempt to defraud our nation’s tax system," said James E. Dorsey, Special Agent in Charge of Atlanta Field Office. “This sentencing is an example that federal tax crimes will not go unpunished. Those consequences include being a convicted felon and paying back all the taxes owed including penalties and interest.”

“Our watchdog agency will continue to aggressively investigate anyone who does not adhere to agency rules regarding the disclosure of foreign funding and affiliations,” said Special Agent in Charge Derrick L. Jackson, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. “We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to bring these type cases to justice.”

According to the charges and other information presented in court: In late 2011, while employed at Emory University, Li joined the Thousand Talents Program, a Chinese-government talent recruitment initiative that targets professors and researchers to work in China. Starting in 2012 and continuing until 2018, Li, while still working at Emory University researching, among other things, the use of large animal models to investigate Huntington’s disease, also worked at two Chinese universities — first at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and then at Jinan University — conducting similar large animal model research. Over those six years, Li earned at least $500,000 in foreign income that he never reported on his federal income tax returns.

Li’s false income tax returns came to light after the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reviewed Li’s NIH research grant applications and became concerned that he had failed to disclose, among other things, foreign research activity. Those concerns prompted Emory University, and later federal law enforcement, to investigate the matter which revealed Li’s false tax returns.

Li was sentenced to one year of probation on a felony charge and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $35,089. He was also ordered to file lawful income tax returns for the years 2012 through 2018 within the first two months of his probation and fully cooperate with the IRS, in making a complete and accurate determination of all taxes, penalties, and interest that he owes.

The IRS Criminal Investigations, FBI, and Department of Health and Human Services investigated this case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Samir Kaushal and Department of Justice National Security Division Trial Attorney Matthew J. McKenzie prosecuted the case.

BREAKING: University Of Arkansas Professor Arrested By Feds, Accused of Ties To Chinese Government

Fayetteville, Arkansas – Simon Saw-Teong Ang, 63, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was arrested on Friday on charges related to Wire Fraud. The complaint and complaint affidavit were unsealed this evening after Ang’s initial appearance in court.

In the one-count complaint, Ang was charged with one count of Wire Fraud. The complaint charges that Ang had close ties with the Chinese government and Chinese companies, and failed to disclose those ties when required to do so in order to receive grant money from NASA. These materially false representations to NASA and the University of Arkansas resulted in numerous wires to be sent and received that facilitated Ang’s scheme to defraud.

If convicted, Ang faces a statutory maximum punishment of 20 years in prison. If convicted, Ang’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including Ang’s prior criminal record (if any), Ang’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violations.

The FBI is investigating the case.

由IRS出面按逃税来扫黑除恶,是美国对于监察不严导致利益输送难以回溯查证的叛国者设置的兜底罪。

这件事第一显示了美国人民与境外扶植黑恶势力做斗争的决心,第二暴露了美国白左学界在常年领先导致的无原则学术开放思潮浸泡下已经千疮百孔,对于华人接触窃取涉及国家重大科技利益的情报防范不周把控不严,以至于在对方履历待遇先暴露了必然是窃取美国利益资敌的回报的情况下,还无法掌握切实的直接犯罪证据,那没有千人名誉的CSC公派留学生蚂蚁搬家造成的损失就更加不可胜计。

自由世界学术界今后的唯一正道是搞一个教育版巴统,学士以上教育实行出生国/10年以上教育所在国一票否决制。
只要当事国是显然单向窃取自由世界学术资源而不对自由世界进行学术开放与回报甚至反而有危害的国家(比如中国迫害境外教师Wuwei,境外优秀大学生Shuping Yang),例如中国伊朗北韩,从这些国家出生/成长者就应该被无条件排除于自由世界学术教育培养之列。
一个不首先有效维护自身利益的共同体是没有资格谈什么博爱的。
