US soldier pleads guilty to selling military secrets to China
Sgt Korbein Schultz was allegedly paid $42,000 in exchange for dozens of sensitive security data.
A US Army analyst has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to sell military secrets to China, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has said.
Sgt Korbein Schultz was arrested in March after an investigation by the FBI and US Army counterintelligence alleged that he was paid $42,000 (£33,000) in exchange for dozens of sensitive security records.
The criminal conspiracy began in June 2022 and continued up until his arrest, officials said.
$42,000.
I hope the secrets were like "how to properly clean the latrine" for that cheap of a price.
“Oh, it’s gonna be clean when I’m done with it”
The purported Hong Kong resident asked Sgt Schultz to collect sensitive data related to missile defence and mobile artillery systems, according to court records.
Sgt Schultz also collected data on US fighter aircraft, military tactics, and the US military's defence strategy for Taiwan, based on what it learned from Russia's war in Ukraine.
Jesus 😳
I don't know if this is the situation, but I'm guessing it's something related- If you owe $42,000 to your bookies, that might be worth selling a few secrets.

42 grand to sell out your country and fellow soldiers like that?!?! Fuck. Me. I am utterly shocked at how cheap that is.
42 to give up your life, universe, and everything.
So long, and thanks for nothing!
Hey, Americans would do it for less. The smug feeling of proving themselves right on a War Thunder forum is compensation enough for some.
Whenever I read something like this, I think about that and wonder why there is still no meaningful prosecution whatsoever.
When you're the president, they let you do it. Grab em right by the intel.
Yes, that is apparently pretty much what the supreme court says. But unfortunately at least Thomas and Alito are obviously corrupt as well.
What the hell are these pieces of shit thinking?
They're thinking "My employer doesn't pay me enough for me to live comfortably, gotta do something about it..."
They’re thinking it’s an easy payday for information that is probably going to be declassified anyways
A real American hero - just like Trump. /s
