In announcing the indictment, U.S. Attorney Kevin V. Ryan noted that theft of trade secrets and economic espionage are among the most important cases prosecuted by the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (CHIP) Unit in the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Theft of trade secrets and economic espionage represent a significant threat to the Silicon Valley and the nation’s economy. We will use the resources of the federal government to protect the integrity of the economy, particularly where there are allegations of economic espionage.”
