In March, Korbein Schultz, an Army intelligence analyst at Fort Campbell, was arrested on a six-count indictment accusing him of spying for a Chinese co-conspirator to whom he would sell U.S. military secrets. Prosecutors say he received $42,000 from June 2022 to March 2024.
That’s not a lot of money for the risk involved. I would want a lot more. Perhaps the guy was desperately in debt, which is sorta the point of capitalism. Then it makes more sense.
Life ruining risk better pay life changing money.
But you are probably right, they would look for the vulnerable and exploit them. And I mean spies but it applies to capitalism as well.

How a lot of homosexual government workers lost their jobs during the Red Scare.
Pushing the limits of stupidity
It should be noted that, for better or worse, importing “parts kits” of firearms, even machine guns, is not illegal in and of itself. Once the receiver and barrel is torch-cut into pieces per ATF guidelines, it ceases to be a firearm in the eyes of the law and it can be sold like any generic hardware in the US, with some state exceptions.
This is usually done by a proper import-export outfit who is careful to follow the laws, though. It sounds more like this guy was on Telegram with Vadim trying to skirt sanctions and make a quick buck, and the kits were likely not properly demilled, given the machine gun possession charges.
Ooooo he’s fooked.
I have to admit that I did a double-take on the weapons charge.
He was importing weapons from Russia to the US. Normally, I see articles about people getting in trouble for doing the opposite.
