American software biz CEO arrested for allegedly storing election data in China

TL;DR

Eugene Yu, CEO of Michigan-based software firm Konnech, has been arrested at the request of the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, as part of an investigation into the theft or mishandling of personal information.It further says it has never managed poll worker data for even a small percentage of that supposed worker total and that the only way True the Vote could have obtained any of its data would be if the organization had illegally hacked its computers – also one of the charges in the lawsuit against the group.The defendants have evidently provided some sort of information under seal to the judge but have not shared it with Konnech, per the TRO.The federal suit was subsequently withdrawn and the state suit was dismissed for lack of standing – allegations of non-profit fraud are a matter for the Texas Attorney General, said to have close ties to the group."Today Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested based on alleged evidence of the very activities he and his organization attempted to suppress," the group said."
