Espionage charges against Nuclear Engineer and Wife

Well, you don't hear this too often. Per the article:

Quote:

According to a criminal complaint, nuclear engineer Jonathan Toebbe, who worked for the Navy, sold restricted information about the design of nuclear-powered warships. He did so with help from his wife, Diana, 45, according to the complaint. Jonathan Toebbe placed restricted data in SD cards and hid them in half a peanut butter sandwich, in a sealed Band-Aid wrapper and in a chewing gum package, which he left at drop points in West Virginia, south-central Pennsylvania and eastern Virginia, according to the criminal complaint.

The good news is he didn't successfully sell them to a foreign country. Just an undercover FBI agent.

Quote:

On April 1, 2020, Jonathan Toebbe sent a package to a foreign government with a sample of restricted data and instructions on how to buy more, the complaint affidavit alleges. Authorities say he continued communicating for several months with someone he thought was with the foreign government.

It's not saying who the country he thought he was selling to was, it's just listed as "COUNTRY1". Which is offense, cause we all know that the US is COUNTRY1!!! USA! USA!

Any guesses as to who the country is? I'm guessing China.
