Nuclear engineer pleads guilty to selling submarine secrets to foreign country
During the plea hearing, Toebbe admitted that he conspired to pass classified information to a foreign government, causing"injury to the United States."
As part of the plea deal, Toebbe agreed to help federal officials with locating all classified information in his possession, as well as the roughly $100,000 in cryptocurrency that was paid to him.Court documents have not disclosed which country Jonathan Toebbe was looking to sell the information, nor was it disclosed in court during the plea hearing Monday. Prosecutors allege that Jonathan Toebbe also told his contact person that he might need to leave the country on short notice.
Toebbe’s wife was accused of serving as a lookout at several prearranged"dead-drop" locations at which her husband deposited memory cards containing government secrets, concealing them in objects such as a chewing gum wrapper, a Band-Aid wrapper and a peanut butter sandwich. She has pleaded not guilty and the case against her remains pending.
FBI agents who searched the couple's home in Annapolis, Maryland, found a trash bag of shredded documents, thousands of dollars in cash, valid children's passports and a"go-bag" containing a USB flash drive and latex gloves.
