A former engineer has pleaded guilty to making false statements to federal law enforcement in Connecticut. Jian Mi, 38, a citizen of China and a lawful permanent resident of Rocky Hill, Connecticut, pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement to a federal law enforcement officer.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on July 22, 2011, Jian Mi knowingly made a materially false statement to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation by informing them that she had not shared with a competitor any advance copies of a PowerPoint presentation containing sensitive proprietary information obtained from her previous employer.
At the time, she knew that she had, in fact, emailed a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation to representatives of the competitor where she was applying for a job as an engineer.
Judge Michael P. Shea has scheduled sentencing for October 11, 2013, at which time Jian Mi faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, a maximum term of supervised release of three years, and a maximum fine of $250,000.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Paul H. McConnell is prosecuting the case.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is being contacted for public affairs through Tom Carson at (203) 821-3722 or thomas.carson@usdoj.gov.
