The indictment revealed all kinds of details about the nature of the crime. Ding allegedly copied information from Google\u2019s files into Apple Notes on his laptop first, and then converted them to PDF files that he uploaded to his personal Google account to evade detection by Google\u2019s data loss prevention systems. He also gave his Google badge to another Google employee in California to make it seem like he was working from Google\u2019s offices in the state while actually working for rival companies in China. Prosecutors said that Ding helped in raising capital for one of the Chinese companies he worked with as its chief technology officer. Last year, he also founded another AI company in China and served as its CEO.This isn\u2019t the first time that the US has arrested a Chinese national for stealing trade secrets from American companies. In the last few years, the US attorney\u2019s office in San Francisco has charged three former Apple employees for stealing trade secrets related to the Apple Car, a project the company recently canceled, and siphoning them off to companies in China. Last month, one of those engineers was sentenced<\/a> to six months in prison and asked to pay nearly $150,000 in fines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
