Ex-Harvard Professor Charles Lieber Sentenced to House Arrest and Fined for Lying About China Ties.

Former Harvard professor Charles Lieber has been sentenced to six months of house arrest, two years of supervised release, and a $50,000 fine for making false statements to authorities, filing false tax returns, and failing to report a Chinese bank account. Lieber's lawyers argued for no prison time due to his cancer diagnosis. Prosecutors accused Lieber of hiding his involvement in China's "thousand talents plan" and receiving over $1.5m to establish a research lab at Wuhan University of Technology. The case is part of the US Department of Justice's China Initiative, which some critics say unfairly targets Chinese researchers and harms academic research.
