Boeing Engineer Spied For China For 30 Years... and stole secret space shuttle designs

While America is busy with the war on Terra:

An American engineer was convicted of waging a 30-year campaign of industrial espionage after police found 300,000 pages of sensitive material at his home.

Chinese-born Dongfan 'Greg' Chung, 73, stole the documents while working for Boeing and Rockwell International as a stress analyst.

Investigators believe at least some of the material, which included information about the US space shuttle and a booster rocket, was handed on to China.

Chung was convicted of six counts of economic espionage, one count of acting as a foreign agent, one count of conspiracy and one count of lying to federal agents.

He could face up to 90 years in prison when he is sentenced in November.

In a 31-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney said: 'The trust Boeing placed in Mr. Chung to safeguard its proprietary and trade secret information obviously meant very little to Mr. Chung,

'He cast it aside to serve the PRC (People's Republic of China), which he proudly proclaimed as his "motherland."' More
