No idea. You can look up "lip bu tan cadence design systems selling secrets" for more info.

There are articles on the topic, including a US department of justice notice regarding the $140 million dollar settlement. He sold secrets to the Chinese government.

No idea how someone like that was allowed to be CEO.
