Louisiana scientists accused of stealing trade secrets from Baton Rouge Water Institute

Two scientists have been arrested and charged with attempting to steal trade secrets from the Water Institute of the Gulf, a world-renowned water research institution in Baton Rouge.
According to the indictment filed in Louisiana’s Middle District Court, Ehab Meselhe and Kelin Hu both worked at the Water Institute and conspired to knowingly steal and duplicate information about the Basin Wide Model, which predicts how the Mississippi Delta could change over time.
Meselhe, a professor at Tulane who was once honored for his contribution to the state’s coastal and master plan, resigned from the Water Institute in October of 2018. The indictment indicates Hu was caught copying data and fired in January 2019.
Tulane hired both scientists to conduct similar research at their ByWater institution soon after their respective departures. Tulane says it will decide whether to fire the doctors after it conducts an internal review.

Tulane has to steal intellectual property from LSU.

Sounds like the one that moved to Tulane to establish a similar organization had the other steal info. So yeah.

On Nov. 12, while a professor at the other research group, Meselhe sent a Google message to Hu about joining him on the staff there and informed Hu that he had been approved to start work there in January. Meselhe sent another Google message to Hu on Nov. 21 instructing him to “avoid sending me any private emails” from Hu’s Water Institute account because “they are monitoring everything,” and that he should “text me or email me from your gmail or yahoo accounts …” “Got that! Thanks,” Hu replied Nov. 21 in a Google message.

“Make a full copy of the entire [project] folder to an external hard drive BEFORE you resign,” Meselhe wrote to Hu in an email, according to the indictment. “Include the code itself, the post processing scripts, and everything also.”

So this is how Tulane's new water research program gets started?
