That story is wild!
First: this leaker simply mailed a packet to a random foreign government address which allowed usps to flag it?! Otherwise seems pretty shot in the dark they found it. 1234 Russia KGB, Russia ;)
Second: the FBI either got the cooperation of said unknown country, or was able to somehow make a signal looking like it originated from their embassy (maybe as comical as we'll fly our countries flag, which happens to always be flying). Maybe it's an ally?
Third: this person had a good amount of access? It sounds like schematics/info on the small nuclear reactors in the subs? Maybe that's not super valuable info?
So much I want to know! Would make a good dramedy someday if it's as dumb as it sounds.
- weare138 5y agoDefinitely need the Coen brothers to make that movie. It's like something right out of Burn After Reading.
- Telemakhos 5y ago> 1234 Russia KGB, Russia The foreign country has not been identified, but Russia is not the one on most rumor-mongering lips. There's precedent (Pollard, Nozette) for Israeli intelligence interest in US Naval secrets.
- dillondoyle 5y agoI was making a joke! But I would LOVE to know what country it is?! What's the rumor you're hearing?
- boomboomsubban 5y agoFrom the thread about it, France seems like the most likely possibility. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28823344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28823344
