From what I read - he did not disclose his ties to Chinese researcher when applying for grant from NASA as he supposed to. He did it on bad advice from his university, but that came out later, during the investigation.
It seems his employer, the University, owes him something. In US government owes you nothing when they make an honest mistake. Even worse, government has disincentive to exonerate wrongly accused because, as some argue, need for finality of the judgement[0]

- teh_klev 5y agoOk, so I'm an idiot and didn't read the article properly. I thought this was a follow up. That'll teach me to read articles more carefully. My apologies everyone.
