Product Engineer and ten-year veteran of U.S. automaker Ford Motor Company admitted to copying around 4,000 confidential Ford documents to an external hard drive and passing them to Beijing Automotive Company. Yu was taken into custody by the FBI in October, 2009 after stopping over in Chicago on a return trip to China. Yu faces up to six years in prison and a fine of $150,000 when he is sentenced. He left the country with the documents in December, 2006, eventually e-mailing his supervisor at Ford from China to inform him of his decision to take a new position with a competitor.
