A whistle blower revealed that the HYSIS project received more than $1 billion research grants from the government. The project turned out to be a hoax. They showed the government a Motorola freescale chip, and told the government that it's what they produced. The 'Motorola' marker stamped on the surface of the chip was marked off by a farmer worker hired by Dr. Chen Jin.
Dr. Chen Jin, Dean of the Microelectronic College of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University registered an Unincorporated Business ENSOC from a Travis County of Texas to launder research funding of the HYSIS project. He literally stapled a label of something that does not look like himself on his own pocket, and put the money into it. ENSOC was registered in May 2002 by Jin Chen, 1819 Montana Sky Dr, Austin, TX 78727.Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) has long been a safe harbor of phony scientific discoveries.
