It isn't very clear about his trouble at Purdue University.
Having been a foreigner myself, I am more interested in his problem at Purdue.
Did "Professor T. T. Moh" try to exploit Zhang's work for his own use?
My guess is that when Zhang refused to give his work away to someone else (possibly Moh),
he got fired (they called it "Graduation") from Purdue and then Moh refused to give any recommendation,
creating the extreme difficulties he encountered in securing his job at other places.
Or, Zhang did not agree (or denounce) with "Moh's paper on Jacobian Conjecture"
which apparently had some deficit in it, as other scholars had pointed out.
Please read the article by T.T. Moh describing the life of Yitang Zhang at Purdue.

Why did Moh write this article in the first place? Isn't this strange?
Make sure you read carefully, especially, between the lines (what he didn't say).
There are some strange tones or phrases in it.
It seems to be an excuse or justification of poor treatment on Zhang by Moh.
I am sure there are a lot of foreign students who got exploited by bad U.S. mentors
and have not seen the sunshines they deserve.
I wish there are more news or investigations about this event at Purdue.
This kind of things make my heart burning hot.
However, anyway, America (not Purdue) finally gave Zhang the blessing he deserves.
So, here, I say, "God Bless America !"
