Asian Behaving Badly... crooked Chinese scientist edition! Last week, Quan-Sheng Shu was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison after admitting he passed space technology to China and bribed Chinese government officials to obtain what could have been a lucrative contract worth millions: Scientist to serve 51 months for giving technology to China.
Shu, owner of AMAC International Inc., provided China assistance in the design and development of a cryogenic fueling system for space-launch vehicles to be used at China's space facility in Hainan.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the federal Arms Export Control Act and one count of bribery. Ack. Come on, man! Really. Come on. It's bad enough, ever since the Wen Ho Lee debacle -- even after it was made clear that he did nothing wrong -- there are those who still think there are rampant Chinese spies among us. But this guy was actually trying to do it. Serious fail.
