A Malaysian-born professor was indicted by a federal grand jury in Arkansas on multiple charges of passport and wire fraud, mostly connected to his failure to disclose ties to China and Chinese companies.

Simon Saw-Teong Ang, 63, was a professor and researcher at the University of Arkansas (UA) beginning in 1988. Ang was also director of the university’s High Density Electronics Center. He was arrested in May on wire fraud and subsequently suspended by UA without pay.
