I find it hard to believe that someone with the possible cure to cancer wouldn't bother backing it up. If this is legitimate, I think it's beyond irresponsible.

- stevenbedrick 16y agoProbably because it was coming out of her own pocket, and researchers generally don't make that much (especially if she was a post-doc). I'm pretty sure that the NIH won't let you charge "stolen laptop reward" to your grant, and your university sure as heck isn't going to shell out for something like that.
- brown9-2 16y agoPerhaps the "cancer cure data" claim is a huge exaggeration by Mrs Shin to help get her laptop back. You'd expect someone to value that at more than USD 1000.
