Sgt Korbein Schultz was allegedly paid $42,000 in exchange for dozens of sensitive security data.

A US Army analyst has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to sell military secrets to China, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has said.

Sgt Korbein Schultz was arrested in March after an investigation by the FBI and US Army counterintelligence alleged that he was paid $42,000 (£33,000) in exchange for dozens of sensitive security records.

The criminal conspiracy began in June 2022 and continued up until his arrest, officials said.

    I was going to make a joke about a relatively young, new member of the military blowing their signing bonus as a downpayment on a car they can’t really afford, but uh… ate the onion.

    There’s a reason many military bases have a ton of car dealerships in close proximity.
