Former Samsung and Hynix executives released on bail over leaked DRAM technology to China

Former executives of Samsung and Hynix, accused of leaking DRAM process technology to China, have been released on bail by the Seoul Central District Court. The court granted bail on September 15 to Choi Jin-seok, a former executive, who was indicted last year for violating industrial technology laws. Another former Samsung researcher, identified as O, was released on bail in August. The leaked technology is considered a crucial national asset. The defendants face charges related to the outflow of this technology, with allegations of receiving substantial financial benefits and equity in a Chinese semiconductor firm.
