Simon Saw-Teong Ang allegedly concealed Chinese government and business ties in NASA grant applications.
A University of Arkansas-Fayetteville professor was arrested on Friday after federal authorities determined he concealed alleged ties to the Chinese government in an application for NASA grant funding.
Simon Saw-Teong Ang, 63, is being charged with one count of wire fraud. A criminal complaint released after Ang’s initial court appearance on Monday describes the engineering professor as having close ties to the Chinese government and Chinese companies. Such affiliations would have been required disclosures on applications for NASA grants, and the authorities are claiming Ang concealed them.
