If you read more about the Gang Chen case, it's really terrifying. The FBI carried out an armed raid on his house early in the morning, as if he were some sort of drug lord or terrorist.
It turned out that the FBI had absolutely nothing on Gang Chen. For example, they accused him of personally accepting millions of dollars from a Chinese university. The money actually went to MIT as part of a partnership between the two universities, and Gang Chen was just in charge of the project on MIT's side. In other words, Gang Chen was accused of doing his job. The FBI could have known that, because it was all public information. It looks like there was a high level of incompetence on the side of the FBI, probably mixed with career ambition to capture a big fish, possibly also with a certain level of racism.
