What is this going to do to HTC? Just seems kind of crazy the top 5 people at the company responsible for coming up with the HTC One all "allegedly" conspired to sell company secrets to China. Latest news(according to AFP) is that at least three were arrested by Taiwanese police and the courts have ordered them held without bail.
HTC's exiting designers interrogated for expense fraud and stealing trade secrets
"Earlier today, several top designers at HTC were arrested in Taipei under suspicion of fraudulent expense claims, as well as stealing trade secrets ahead of leaving the company to run a new mobile design firm in both Taiwan and mainland China. Five people were interrogated, with the most notable ones being Vice President of Product Design Thomas Chien (pictured above), R&D director Wu Chien Hung and design team senior manager Justin Huang (who also personally sketched out the One's design). Chien and Wu are taken into custody, whereas the others were released on bail (see video after the break). Their offices were also raided yesterday as part of the investigation."
