    I've lost track of how many of our academics have been connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

    An MIT professor was charged Thursday with millions of dollars in grant fraud for allegedly hiding his relationship with China. Gang Chen, 56, was arrested at his home in Cambridge and search warrants were executed at his house and office.

    The FBI in Boston said Chen failed to disclose his work with China to the U.S. Department of Energy when he applied for millions of dollars in grants.

    “Our investigation found Chen was working with the Chinese communist government in various capacities dating back to 2012 at our country’s expense,” Joseph Bonavolonta, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Boston, said at a news conference in Boston, announcing the charges.

    Bonavolonta said Chen knowingly defrauded taxpayers out of at least $19 million in grants to enhance China’s research in nanotechnology.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      At least the FBI is on to it.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        The Chinese were probably happy to get rid of them.
