Here we have the FBI enticing someone to commit a crime. Obviously selling secrets is not OK, but how do we know there would have been another buyer if the FBI was not there?
I wonder if it would be possible to setup some sort of gamified system to capture people who are susceptible to this sort of enticement or entrapment. But instead of sending people to jail, it is something more akin to a lottery or an escape room. I don't know the psychology of people selling secrets, but if you could capture them in a game instead of criminal indictment, I think that would be a better use of tax payer money.
- lazide 5y agoUh, you obviously didn’t read the indictment? The defendant offered to sell secrets to a separate, unnamed foreign nation for money. That nation then turned around and turned them into the FBI, who continued the pretense of being an agent of that foreign nation. Literally zero enticement from the FBI going on here I can tell.
