Also:
"The FBI documents alleged that Chen received $19 million from China's Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).[9] [23] On January 22, 2021, MIT's President released a second statement pointing out that these funds went to not Chen, but to MIT itself to support a departmental research collaboration with SUSTech which Chen simply directed on MIT's behalf.[25] [26]"

SUSTech, lol.
- jrockway 5y agoI think the "accused" part is the problem. Interacting with the court system is expensive both financially and emotionally. We need to be very careful where we apply it, and that means being careful about who we accuse and for what reasons.
- mlindner 5y agoExpecting zero mistakes is unreasonable. The system worked correctly. The person who was not guilty was found not guilty.
- platinumrad 5y agoYeah the system worked correctly. He only lost a year of his life. Whoopsies!
- kragen 5y agoAnd all his grad students and the chair of a university department, based on accusations that turned out to be entirely false.
- platinumrad 5y agoYeah, what a victory lap, getting to rightfully speak out about his mistreatment. Tell me, would you trade a year of your life for the ability to take such a grand "victory lap"?
