DuPont vs. Kolon fight results in indictments oftop executivesMcNabb Associates, P.C. (Federal Criminal DefenseLawyers)

Submitted at 1:08 PM October 19, 2012

Examiner.com on October 19, 2012released the following:“BY: JOEL HENDON An FBI news release on Oct. 18, 2012contains the latest developments in anongoing legal fight over a suit filed byDupont. On Feb. 3, 2009, DuPont filed suitagainst Kolon for “for theft of tradesecrets and confidential information”relating to its product, Heracron. Afterconsiderable legal moves and actions, onSep. 14, 2011, a jury in the U.S. DistrictCourt for the Eastern District of Virginiafound in favor of DuPont who wasawarded damages of $919.9 million.Kolon appealed, which now appears tohave been a grave mistake. The FBI press release explains the resultsof their investigation since that decisionwas made. They report that KolonIndustries Inc. and several of itsexecutives and employees have beenindicted for allegedly engaging in a multi-year campaign to steal trade secretsrelated to DuPont’s Kevlar para-aramidfiber and Teijin Limited’s Twaron para-aramid fiber. The indictment seeksforfeiture of at least $225 million inproceeds from the alleged theft of tradesecrets from Kolon’s competitors. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea,Kolon was indicted by a grand jury inRichmond, Virginia. The indictmentcharges Kolon with one count ofconspiring to convert trade secrets, fourcounts of theft of trade secrets, and onecount of obstruction of justice.“Kolon is accused of engaging in amassive industrial espionage campaignthat allowed it to bring Heracron quicklyto the market and compete directly withKevlar,” said U.S. Attorney MacBride.“This country’s greatest asset is theinnovation and the ingenuity andcreativity of the American people. Thegenius of free enterprise is that companiescompete on the excellence of their ideas,products, and services—not on theft. Thisindictment should send a strong messageto companies located in the United Statesand around the world that industrialespionage is not a business strategy.” (FBIpress release)“By allegedly conspiring to stealDuPont’s and Teijin’s intellectualproperty, Kolon threatened to underminean economic engine at both companies,”said Assistant Attorney General Breuer.“Developing Kevlar and Twaron was

resource-intensive work and requiredstrategic investment and ingenuity. Kolon,through its executives and employees,allegedly acted brazenly to profit off thebacks of others. The Justice Departmenthas made fighting intellectual propertycrime a top priority, and we will continueto aggressively prosecute IP crimes allover the country.” (Ibid)“It’s critical that law enforcementaggressively investigate crimes ofintellectual property theft, such as thisone,” said FBI Special Agent in ChargeMazanec. “If not, intellectual creativityand our economy will be compromised.As a member of the Department of JusticeTask Force on Intellectual Property, ouroffice will investigate any company,domestic or international, that stealsconfidential proprietary information fortheir own benefit. We will pursue thosethat prey on the originality and vision ofhardworking businesses who conduct theirown research, obtain patents, and market asuccessful product.” (Ibid) Kolon makes a product called Heracron,which is a recent entrant into the para-aramid fiber market as a competitor toproducts called Kevlar and Twaron. Para-aramid fibers are used to make, forexample, body armor, fiberoptic cables,and automotive and industrial products.Kevlar is produced by E.I. du Pont deNemours and Company (DuPont), one ofthe largest chemical companies in theUnited States. For decades, Kevlar hascompeted against Twaron, a para-aramidfiber product produced by Teijin Limited,one of the largest chemical companies inJapan. According to the indictment, from July2002 through February 2009, Kolonallegedly sought to improve its Heracronproduct by targeting current and formeremployees at DuPont and Teijin andhiring them to serve as consultants, thenasking these consultants to revealinformation that was confidential andproprietary. The indictment alleges that in July 2002,Kolon obtained confidential informationrelated to an aspect of DuPont’smanufacturing process for Kevlar, andwithin three years, Kolon had replicated it.This successful misappropriation ofDuPont’s confidential information, theindictment alleges, spurred Kolonleadership to develop a multi-phase planin November 2005 to secure additionaltrade secret information from itscompetitors by targeting people withknowledge of both pre-1990 para-aramidtechnology and post-1990 technologies.

Kolon is alleged to have retained at leastfive former DuPont employees asconsultants. Kolon allegedly met withthese people individually on multipleoccasions from 2006 through 2008 tosolicit and obtain sensitive, proprietaryinformation that included details aboutDuPont’s manufacturing processes forKevlar, experiment results, blueprints anddesigns, prices paid to suppliers, and newfiber technology. In cases where theconsultants could not answer Kolon’sspecific and detailed questions, Kolonallegedly requested the consultants toobtain the information from currentemployees at DuPont. In addition to the corporation itself, thefollowing Kolon executives andemployees from Seoul were charged withconspiring together to steal trade secretsand obstruction of justice for deletinginformation from their computers: Jong-Hyun Choi, 56, was a seniorexecutive overseeing the HeracronBusiness Team. He allegedly met withother top executives at Kolon to developthe directives to secure consultants anddirectly participated in carrying out thedirectives. In-Sik Han, 50, managed Kolon’sresearch and development related toHeracron and was allegedly responsiblefor overseeing the “consulting” sessionswith ex-DuPont employees. Kyeong-Hwan Rho, 47, worked forKolon for more than 25 years and servedas the head of the Heracron TechnicalTeam beginning in January 2008. Heallegedly participated in the consultingsessions. Young-Soo Seo, 48, reported to Choi andserved as the general manager for theHeracron Business Team beginning inNovember 2006. He allegedly participatedin the consulting sessions. Ju-Wan Kim, 40, was a manager on theHeracron Business Team from September2007 through February 2009 and reportedto Seo. He was the main point of contactat Kolon for at least one of the ex-DuPontemployees. He also participated in theconsulting sessions. The conspiracy and theft of trade secretscounts each carry a maximum penalty of10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000or twice the gross gain or loss forindividual defendants and a fine of $5million or twice the gross gain or loss forthe corporate defendant.

Four law enforcement officers and twoother men who are accused of conspiringearlier this year to safeguard stolenproperty and proceeds from their sale, areset to make their second appearance in aCharlotte courtroom today, following anFBI raid on Wednesday. The officers have also been accused ofsecuring monetary bribes for their legalauthority in the operation, the U.S.Attorney’s Office in the state’s WesternDistrict said. According to federal authorities, the menmade a serious blunder – their partners inthe conspiracy, whom they believed to becriminals, were actually undercover FBIagents. As a result of the arrests, the city ofCherryville has also suspended its policechief and captain. Federal officials are not saying who elsemight be a target of the ongoinginvestigation. Two federal indictments were unsealedearlier Wednesday in the case. One indictment from Tuesday chargedCherryville Police officer FrankieDellinger, 40, Gaston County Sheriff’sreserve officer Wesley Clayton Golden,39, and Cherryville resident Mark RayHoyle, 39. Each man faces one count each ofconspiracy to extort under color of officialright, money laundering conspiracy,conspiracy to transport and/or receivestolen property, four counts each oftransportation of stolen property, moneylaundering and aiding and abetting andthree counts of possession of a firearm inrelation to a crime of violence, accordingto a press release. Federal authorities also charged Dellingerwith with an extra count of extortion. The three men are accused of protectingthe men they believed were co-conspirators by allowing them to safelytransport tractor trailers filled with stolen

property through the area, the U.S.Attorney’s Office said. Hoyle, Dellingerand Golden also protected thetransportation of more than $400,000,proceeds from the merchandises’ sale, therelease said. Goods included televisions andgenerators worth nearly $160,000. A second indictment from Aug. 21charged Cherryville patrol officers CaseyJustin Crawford, 32, and David PaulMauney III, 23, along with Cherryvilleresident John Ashley Hendricks, 47, withone count each of conspiracy to transportand/or receive stolen property andconspiracy to extort under color of officialright. Crawford additionally faces one count ofprogram fraud bribery. Since May, Crawford, Mauney andHendricks similarly worked withundercover agents they thought werecriminals in protecting the transport ofmore than $300,000 in stolen merchandisealong with more than $300,000 inproceeds from the items’ sale, the releasesaid. Hoyle’s role in the conspiracy included“representing himself as a lawenforcement officer,” the U.S. Attorney’sOffice said. On the other hand, Hendricks,Crawford and Mauney used counter-surveillance to ensure other officerswouldn’t discover the illegal operation,the release said. FBI officials launched the investigationfollowing allegations last year thatDellinger had been involved in illegalactivity, an indictment said. The phony criminals requested assistancefrom law enforcement officers who wouldbe willing to provide protection for stolenitems in exchange for cash bribes. Dellinger accepted the offer and soon“recruited” Hoyle and Golden, accordingto the indictment. The three men received $17,000 in thescheme in exchange for keeping the stolengoods away from thieves and the detectionof other law enforcement agencies andeven agreed to use violence, if necessary,to carry out such duties, the U.S.Attorney’s Office said. All six men appeared in a Charlotte

courtroom today on the charges. They each face up to 20 years in prisonand hundreds of thousands of dollars infines, if convicted, the release said. Interim City Manager and CherryvilleFire Chief Jeff Cash released a separatestatement late Wednesday announcing thatPolice Chief Woody Burgess and Capt.Mike Allred, a Lincoln County resident,have been suspended with pay pending theoutcome of the investigation, thoughneither has been charged to this point.“As interim city manager, I will benaming myself interim police chief withthe day-to-day operational activities to besupervised by Sgt. Cam Jenks,” Cashwrote. Cash said safety of the citizens would notbe compromised by the investigation intothe police department and other lawenforcement agencies were assisting asneeded. Individuals with emergencies can call 911or police dispatch at (704) 435-1717. The Gaston County District Attorney’sOffice was quoted by other area newsmedia saying they may drop pendingcriminal cases relying on any of chargedofficers’ testimonies, though the Times-News was unable to independentlyconfirm this. Just how many cases thatwould include is also unclear. Five of the six suspects remain withoutbond behind Mecklenburg County bars.The location of John Hendricks iscurrently unknown. He was not listed as acurrent Mecklenburg County inmate anddoes not even have a record in the county,an employee with CharMeck CitizenServices told the Times-News Thursdayafternoon.
