A former U.S. Marine pilot fighting extradition from Australia on U.S. charges of training Chinese military pilots to land on aircraft carriers, unknowingly worked with a Chinese hacker, his lawyer said.

Daniel Duggan, 55, a naturalised Australian citizen, feared requests by Western intelligence agencies for sensitive information were putting his family at risk, the lawyer said in a legal filing seen by Reuters.

The lawyer’s filing supports Reuters reporting linking Duggan to convicted Chinese defence hacker Su Bin.

Duggan denies the allegations that he broke U.S. arms control laws. He has been in an Australian maximum security prison since his 2022 arrest after returning from six years working in Beijing.

    “Blaming the victim” is not a good look.

    Paywalls are bad.

    Also lots of independent journalism is dying because people aren’t paying for it.

    I pay for it. I donate to independent journalism. 🤷‍♂️

    My goal is to bring awareness for paywalls and trying to get them to not be used. They should not be promoted here on Lemmy.

      Point to me on the doll where you were hurt.

      Lol victim, I gave you the full article, you’re not a victim you’re lazy and cheap.

      Either find the article on an archive site, or pay for quality journalism. It sucks I know, capitalism has turned news into a profit model that only truly benefits the rich. We’re all victims of capitalist greed. But don’t spread your learned helplessness. Offer solutions and critique so we can all be better.

      Or bitch that you’re not spoonfed. One or the other, you’re free to fuck up your own life how you see fit.

      … I’m still chuckling about your victimhood. Give me free labor without commensurate compensation.
