Instead of apologizing for potentially spreading FUD and falsehoods, maybe you should refrain from posting until you have actual facts in hand?

The grandparent is making a good point. It is entirely possible that the researcher is being prosecuted for something related to his past. It's not likely that he's being prosecuted for smuggling a small amount of drugs (for example), the FBI wouldn't be the one making the arrest. Even if all the activities he has done in the past are completely legal the FBI could still try to wring him for them.

Yeah, like the rest of the people commenting here, right? They have all the facts.

There's an equal number of FUD and speculation going the other way, e.g. that he was arrested for no reason or that he was "disappeared".

Kind of like the assumptions as to why he was arrested?

Like the article itself?
