$10,000? Really? It always shocks me how cheap people are. You would think that if any actual adversary wanted information they believed would be helpful in replicating or attacking a nuclear submarine, the price tag they would be willing to pay would be much higher. The guy and his wife are both idiots and they are undoubtedly facing severe consequences. Let’s all hope they never had the opportunity to have children…

I remember a post awhile ago that showed the political donations some senators, who voted on some controversial issues, recently received. I was surprised some of them were bought off in the low ten-thousands.

I wonder how many FBI agents are on this thread now looking for insightful comments.

Internally from Within the FBI department who was the eager agent that initiated this Avenue of exploration?

Thought process of the agent in charge. I must get a promotion as soon as possible, what is the fastest way? Crypto and look for people who would like to betray their own country.

My question how did they go about enticing the culprits? That background story seems to me far more interesting than what things have been publically documented
