Kansas researcher who hid China ties to be sentenced on felony count
Fox News
Feng "Franklin" Tao, a former researcher at the University of Kansas, is soon to be sentenced for making false statements related to work he did in China.
Federal prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 2.5 years, while Tao's attorneys are asking U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson to sentence him to time served.
In a sentencing motion filed earlier this month, federal prosecutors said Tao defrauded the University of Kansas, the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation by lying about work he was doing for Fuzhou University in China. The federal agencies had awarded Tao grants for research projects at Kansas.
