DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff

V. NO. 3:14-MJ-OO271 (WIG)

YU LONG alkla LONG YU,

Defendant FEBRUARY 13, 2015

MOTION TO SET CONDITIONS OF RELEASE

The defendant, Yu Long, through his undersigned counsel,

respectfully requests that this Court review its present order of

detention and release Mr. Long on a series of conditions sufficient

to assure that he will return to Court when required and not pose

a danger to the community.

In support of this motion, the defendant states:

1. He has been detained since his arrest on Novernber 7,

2Ol4 in the Northern District of New York.

2. On December 9, 2OI4 he appeared before this Court and

ordered detained. He is presently held at Donald C. Wyatt

1

Case 3:14-mj-00271-WIG Document 23 Filed 02/13/15 of 29

Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. The detention

order was entered without prejudice. It was based on the Court's

conclusion that the defendant poses a serious risk of non-

appearance as he had extensive ties in his native country China of

which he remains a citizen.

3. On January 13, 2015 undersigned counsel appeared for this Mr.

Long. He has met with the defendant at Wyatt in Central Falls twice and twice

more in the United States Courthouse in New Haven. During the course of

those meetings and in consultation with defendant's previolts counsel, the

undersigned has obtained information which, he submits, is sufficient to justify

this Court allowing the defendant to be released on certain conditions. Those

suggested conditions are set forth below.

4. The defendant was born on December 20, 1977 in China. He is 37

years old and resides with his significant other Jiangxia Qin and their three-

month old daughter, Grace, in Ithaca, New York. Another daughter of that

relationship, Charlotte, resides in China with Ms. Qin's mother. He has no

record of convictions here or in China.

2


5. Mr. Long was formerly married to Bin Yang from whom he is now

lawfully divorced. He has one child by Ms. Yang, a daughter, Claire who is 5

years old.

6. Mr. Long is a lawful resident alien of the United States and has been

for a number of years. He has Bachelor's Degrees from Shanghai Jiao Long

University in Industrial Management and also in Thermal Power Engine in

2OOO, In 2003 he received a Master's Degree from that same university in

Mechanical Engineering. He received a PhD from Clemson University in 2008.

He pursued further education in Management, Science and Engineering at

Stanford University.

7. Ms. Qin, Mr. Long's significant other is a graduate student in Fashion

at Cornell University in its master's program. She presently resides at

university housing at lthaca, New York.l

I Counsel is given to understand that Mr. Long, if released to reside with Ms. Quin, is notallowed in campus housing at Cornell. Mr. Long and Ms. Qin are able to obtain alternativeliving accommodations in off-campus housing in Ithaca.

3


8. The defendant enjoys the full support of Ms. Qin to whom he is

devoted and she him.

9. Mr. Long and Ms. Qin through an LLC, Orange One Plus One, own

two properties in Connecticut: a condominium at 301 Audubon Court in New

Haven with an assessed value of $ 158,900.00; and a second residence at 94

Talcott Notch Road, Connecticut with an assessed value of $320,500.00. The

Audubon Court residence was pr.rrchased in June of 2OI4 for $2 t0,0OO.OO. It

appears to have a mortgage of approximately $ tO8,O0O.OO. The Talcott Notch

Road property is assessed at $SZ0,5OO.OO. It was purchased on June 5,2014

for consideration of $390,000.00. There are no liens or mortgages on that

property.

10. Atthough Ms. Qin resides in lthaca, New York, the defendant is

prepared to join her there if released or, if required, to reside in the Audubon

Court address in New Haven.

1 1. In either case, Mr. Long will willingly surrender his passport, submit

to electronic monitoring and house arrest (with allowance for medical needs,

religious services or meeting with his attorney). Further, he is prepared to

report in person on a daily basis to Pre-Trial Services Officer at the Financial

4


Center in New Haven if required to live in New Haven; or on a less frequent

basis at the nearest Federal Probation Office in Ithaca, New York if allowed to

return there to live with his family.

12. The defendant is willing to submit to any other reasonable

restrictions which the Court feels are appropriate.

13. It should be noted that the defendant is charged with illegally

obtaining and retaining proprietary documents from his former employer,

United Technologies Research Center, and the Government contends he

intended to transport these documents to China. The documents seized are

voluminous. The need to review and analyze tltern is crucial to Mr. Long's

defense. The present restrictions detaining him in Rhode Island substantially

handicap the effective representation to which he is constitutionally entitled

and, ultimately, will likely impact his rights to due process and a fair trial.

Logistics alone seriously inhibit counsel's ability to fulfill his obligation s to his

client.

14. The Court will understandably be concerned, and the Government

likely more so, about the risk of a Chinese national fleeing to his country of

birth. There aLre a number of factors, however, which rninímizes that concern:

5


a. The defendant's immediate family, as outlined above, resides in

the United States.z

b. Through an LLC owned by himself and his wife, the family owns

two significant pieces of real estate in Connecticut, both of which will be

pledged to secure his reappearance.

c. The defendant has no access to proprietary materials; he is no

longer employed by the complainant company or related companies. He is

unemployed and, at the time of his arrest, was principally occupied with caring

for Ms. Qin and their youngest child, then two months old. Ms. Qin is young

and inexperienced and relies on Mr. Long to maintain the household and to

provide child care.

15. The looming concern in this case is that Mr. Long was engaged in an

attempt to remove from United States highly technical information (and

possibly military information) for delivery to China, either for sale or, for

delivery to the Chinese Government. That premise, based to date only on

2 His daughter, Charlotte, does reside in China. In fact it was his intent to return to China andto reunite with his daughter and to bring her back to her family. More below.

6


speculation, is mitigated by a number of factors, all of which undercut its

validity:

(i) at the time of his departure for China on November 4,

2OI4 from Liberty Airport in Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Long had "hard copies"

of allegedly high security materials. These documents were carried "openly".

They were not secreted in electronic devices such as thumb drives or discs,

either of which would have easily eluded discovery by Customs and Border

Patrol personnel. Information in that format would have been virtually

undetectable.3

(ii) there is no evidence that the defendant at any time ever

transmitted by e-mail, regular mail or any other way to China or to Chinese

authorities or industrialists the suspect materials or similar materials.

(iii) Mr. Long was pursuing academic positions both in the

United States and elsewhere, but the similar materials were never transmitted

to any potential employers.

3 Granted, there was a hard drive which he carried along with his computer which, it is alleged,contains other proprietary information. But then, why signal an inquiry by openly carrying the"hard copies"?

7


(iv) on November 4,2O14 when he was stopped by Customs

and Border Patrol personnel at Newark Airport on his way to China, he

cooperated fully with authorities and submitted voluntarily to a lengthy

recorded interview during which he answered all relevant questions asked.

(v) in addition, the defendant had a round-trip booking

indicating his intent to return to the United States and so did Ms. Qin. (Copies

attached).

(vi) upon conclusion of the questioning at Newark, Mr. Long

was advised he was free to continlre on to China. He did not do so. Rather, he

returned to Ithaca and, remarkably, on the next day he voluntarilv reached out

to the FBI and provide d websites from which he believed he had obtained the

suspected materials.

(vii) he never sought to complete his travels to China after

the Newark interviews. Rather, he obtained counsel and, on the day he was

scheduled to meet with his attorney he was arrested in the Northern District of

New York. (See affidavit attached.)

16. Continued detention presents a significant handicap to the

preparation of Mr. Long's defense. Although he has been twice brought to the

8


Courthouse in New Haven for extensive debriefing with counsel, that courtesy

has ended. The significant volume of documents for review, both by counsel

and by Mr. Long, are now governed by this Court's protective order which

presents hurdles in the best of circumstances, let alone when the defendant is

detained. This further inhibits the preparation of his defense. He can never be

alone with the documents that he is required to review prior to discussing them

with counsel. Many hours will be required to educate counsel about the

documents seized. In addition, although Mr. Long obtained his graduate

education in the United States, his English is strained and communication is

difficult. In short, trial preparation becomes nearly impossible.

17. While the defendant understands the concerns about the possibility

of flight, there are alternatives which can provide sufficient protection to the

community and also assure his reappearance in Court. He requests that the

Court consider: release on a condition that requires him to post both residence

as surety; a requirement that he be placed on eiectronic monitoring and home

confinement with release only for religious, medical and iegal purposes;

passport surrender; and daily reporting to Pretrial Services.

9


18. Ideally, he would wish to reside with Ms. Qin and their child in

Ithaca, in a home confinement situation once she is able to obtain alternative

housing off campus there. Alternatively, he can be required to reside at the

Arrr{rr}rnn fìnrrrf qr{dresq. in Ne¡r¡ Ffnr¡en under home confinement and electronic

monitoring.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

THE DEFENDANT,YU LONG
