HTC design team could get 10 years jail time for leaking and worse

The rumour mill has been a busy place for the last few years but nobody mentions where the original leaks comes form, more often than not. Now three key officials at HTC have just been formally charged and could go to jail for a decade.
VP of product design Thomas Chien, R&D director Wu Hung and senior manager Justin Huang, all of HTC China have been charged for leaking sensitive information and worse.
Leaking sensitive HTC intellectual property obviously wasn't enough as the above three were also allegedly scamming HTC out of close to a million dollars through fake contracts. Formal indictments have now been put into motion, threatening to incarcerate the three for up to 10 years.

Justin Huang was said to be one of the first people to sketch the now legendary HTC One. A sad business indeed. And at a time when HTC is having financial struggles it's not going to help the company any more.
Here's hoping HTC continues to innovate with ground-breaking technology and that is enough to take the company from strength to strength.
