Cyber-sting nets Chinese national in attempt to export sensitive technology

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — A Chinese citizen pleaded guilty Thursday at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn to violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by attempting to export weapons-grade carbon fiber from the United States to China. The guilty plea follows an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Export Enforcement.

Lisong Ma, 34, was arrested after attempting to close a deal to acquire and export the specialized materials, which have applications in the defense and aerospace industries and are therefore controlled for export by the United States.

“The defendant tried to circumvent laws that protect our national security by preventing specialized technologies from falling into the wrong hands. The defendant was bent on exporting to China up to five tons of weapons-grade carbon fiber — enough carbon fiber to stretch from Brooklyn to the Pacific Ocean,” stated United States Attorney Loretta E. Lynch. “Today’s conviction should leave no doubt that the United States will use every available technique, including covert cyber operations, to maintain the superiority of our nation’s armed forces.”

“Today’s conviction highlights the reality that even the most relentless of efforts to unlawfully acquire sensitive American technology will be foiled,” said HSI New York Special Agent in Charge James T. Hayes. “This investigation provides a great example of how HSI and federal law enforcement are meeting the threat posed by tech savvy international smugglers head-on.”

During the investigation, federal agents tasked with protecting sensitive technology maintained a covert cyber-presence on web sites related to the brokering, purchase and sale of controlled commodities. In February 2013, the defendant, using the name “Ma Li,” e-mailed an undercover agent and indicated that he was interested in acquiring several different types of high-grade carbon fiber. Then, through various online communications, the defendant attempted to negotiate the purchase of five tons of carbon fiber. Based on a review of Internet Protocol log-in information, investigators discovered that the defendant was communicating from the People’s Republic of China.

On March 12, 2013, the defendant and undercover agents engaged in an online video teleconference session, which was recorded. During the teleconference, the defendant and the undercover agents discussed the license requirement to export certain types of carbon fiber from the United States. One of the agents told the defendant: “We can’t send this to China without an export license, otherwise we risk going to jail.” The defendant then told agents that he would soon be traveling to the United States, and arranged a meeting to further discuss the terms of a deal. On March 27, 2013, the defendant met with undercover agents in the United States. During the meeting, which was covertly recorded, the defendant requested a sample of carbon fiber, because it was “easier” and “safer” to ship, and later commented: “There is a greater chance that the authorities will arrest you if you get a third party involved. That is why it’s better to go directly from the U.S. to China.”

The defendant ultimately decided to ship a sample of weapons-grade, Toray-type T-800 carbon fiber from the United States to China. He paid the undercover agents and placed the material into a plain brown box. Ma falsely indicated on the waybill and invoice that the package contained “clothing.” After the defendant finished packing the box and completing the shipping forms, the package was transported to a courier service, to be shipped to China. The package was thereafter intercepted by agents before it could be exported. Agents also intercepted and arrested the defendant shortly thereafter, as he transited Los Angeles International Airport on his way to Shanghai. He was then removed in custody to Brooklyn.

When sentenced, Ma faces up to 20 years in prison, as well as forfeiture and a fine of up to $1 million.

The government’s case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Seth DuCharme, with assistance from Trial Attorney David Recker of the Department of Justice Counterespionage Section.

PAJ writes JFLAG about attack on Observer news team

Gay rights group condemns incident but accuses media of ‘irresponsible reporting’

Saturday, June 01, 2013

THE Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) has expressed serious concerns about Wednesday’s brazen attack on a Jamaica Observer news team that went to investigate reports that police had removed a rowdy band of gay men who were squatting in an unoccupied house at 16 Millsborough Avenue in Barbican, St Andrew.

In a letter to executive director of the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-sexuals and Gays yesterday, the PAJ condemned the attack.

The two men who attacked an Observer news team on Wednesday.

“As we understand it, a team comprising a reporter, photographer and a driver from a local media entity visited the Millsborough community to speak with residents about complaints made to the police about the rowdy behaviour of homosexual men living in the area. This is well in keeping with the role of the professionals to bring to national attention matters of public interest,” the release stated.

As a Jamaica Observer photographer took pictures of the premises on Wednesday, two men — armed with a bag of bottles and other missiles — charged down the driveway and hurled the objects in his direction.

The photographer sprinted towards a marked Observer vehicle in a bid to escape injury. However, the two men, who appeared to be in their early 20s, exited the yard and continued their assault — all the while hurling expletives while heaving the missiles wildly in the direction of the photographer and the vehicle.

The photographer managed to enter the vehicle without being injured and the vehicle sped off.

“There is no indication that the journalists attacked the men or sought to invade their privacy. The fact that the team was viciously pursued and stoned must be seen as a direct attack on the press. We condemn this in the strongest possible way. We have encouraged our members to make an official report to the police,” the PAJ said.

“We ask that you inform the persons you seek to represent to desist from interfering with journalists in the line of duty and educate them on the critical role a free press plays in the democracy,” the PAJ added.

J-FLAG’s executive director, Dane Lewis, late Thursday night condemned the attack on the media workers and distanced itself from such outlandish behaviour.

“… While J-FLAG advocates for the rights of all Jamaicans, and in particular members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, J-FLAG does not condone any form of misconduct, violent or criminal behaviour. We condemn all acts of violence or intimidation either from or directed towards the LGBT community,” the release said.

Lewis, however, criticised the media for what he described as ‘irresponsible reporting’ which fuelled discrimination against gays.

“Irresponsible reporting by some of your members have not only fuelled the discrimination meted out to LGBT Jamaicans rather than bringing to light to the issues resulting in their displacement, but it has also compromised the personal safety of the members of staff, volunteers and clients of Jamaica AIDS Support for Life (JASL) and J-FLAG because of the reckless publication of a photograph and the address of the formerly shared office compound. This has created a severe trust deficit with segments of the Jamaican media,” he said.

The men occupying the Millsborough Avenue house were forcibly removed from the premises by police from the St Andrew South Police Division on Sunday, the same day an article appeared in the Sunday Observer about the squatting.

But the defiant men have since returned to the house and their inconsiderate ways.

The residents of the upscale community told the Observer that they have been forced to endure lewd, outlandish behaviour by the men, who sometimes bathe naked in the driveway and keep their surroundings filthy. Police alleged the band of uncouth men are the same ones who practise prostitution in the commercial hub of New Kingston at nights.
