Feds Bust Chinese Firm's Hybrid Car Data Heist

Posted by timothy on from the pesky-agents-of-the-f-b-i dept.

coondoggie writes "An FBI investigation has led a Michigan couple to be charged with stealing hybrid car information from GM to use in a Chinese auto outfit. A federal indictment charged Yu Qin, aka Yu Chin, 49, and his wife, Shanshan Du, aka Shannon Du, 51, of Troy, Michigan with conspiracy to possess trade secrets without authorization, unauthorized possession of trade secrets, and wire fraud. One of the individuals was also charged with obstruction of justice, said Barbara McQuade, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan in a statement. GM estimates that the value of the stolen documents is over $40 million."

    Hmm - Why not make same kind of car but use labor that cost less, make them smaller
    so less material cost, then tirm down on material thickness and quality just a bit so
    that it *looks* like it's similar to a more expensive version. Ship large quantitiy
    to lower distriubution cost - then say "drive more careful".... If not Yu-R fault.....

    I'm with Warren - buy um Du stock and make um Du money!!!! Oops that's his idea!!!
