Thanks for allowing my post to come through so quickly. I'm kind of hoping that shaking the tree may make some newer information about Mark to fall out. As far as I have been able to determine the trail goes cold in Hong Kong a decade or more ago.
One other point about the Berkeley crystal overunity experiment that has been reported so many times. It was the impression, shared by me and other people at ISSO, that Mark did not actually have the technical expertise and practical knowledge necessary to conduct an experiment of that kind, or perform proper measurement and analysis. I don't think he actually understood how to operate an oscilloscope or an arbitrary waveform generator, for example. Certainly I never observed him to do anything the least bit technical at ISSO's SF laboratory, even though we had specifically set up various workstations (electronic, electromechanical, chemical) for him to use. When his bluff was called, he just sort of faded away.
I don't think he was lying, exactly, in his accounts of the Berkeley experiment and the subsequent raid and the night spent in detention at the campus police station. Rather, I think his psychological state at the time may have caused him to... er... misinterpret events and make unwarranted associations, which he later reported as facts that he himself believed, but which had little relationship to consensus reality.
