Wen Ho Lee

Scientist

Wen Ho Lee is a Taiwanese-American scientist who became a central figure in a major espionage controversy in the late 1990s. While working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, he was accused of stealing U.S. nuclear secrets for China, leading to his arrest and solitary confinement. The government's case against him ultimately collapsed, with Lee pleading guilty to a single felony count of mishandling restricted data. The presiding judge later issued a formal apology to Lee for the government's prosecutorial misconduct and his harsh pretrial treatment.
