[H]ardOCP:

Two Chinese engineers were sentenced on Friday for a corporate espionage case from 2006. The perps were busted for stealing computer chip designs from their employers and trying to smuggle them into China to launch a government-backed startup there. Boy, that’s a really long time to wait for a sentencing.



Four companies were victims of the plot: NEC Electronics Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Transmeta Corp. and Trident Microsystems Inc. Fei Ye and Ming Zhong both had worked at Transmeta and Trident. Ye had also worked at NEC and Sun.
