$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.
- spzb 5y agoBBC version of the story says $100,000. Not sure which is right but $100k sounds more plausible. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58863678 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58863678

- HWR_14 5y agoHe asked for $5,000,000 in total. You're focused on the initial amounts when he was like "give me a little cash and I'll give you a few pages from my 10,000 pages of stuff".
- trinovantes 5y agoI 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.
