Min worked at Delaware based chemicals giant DuPont for over a decade before he took a job at DuPont competitor, Victrex. Over a four month period after accepting that offer, Min systematically copied thousands of pages of confidential DuPont design documents to a laptop. DuPont became aware of Min s theft only after the employee gave notice. Min pled guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2007 and ordered to pay close to $50,000 in restitution to DuPont. The value of the information Min stole was put at $400 million.
