: Army Intel Analyst Sold U.S. War Plans to China for $42K — FBI Director

Sergeant First Class Marsh held a Top Secret/SCI clearance at Fort Campbell. Over 19 months he transmitted 7 classified packages to a Chinese intelligence handler — including Taiwan Strait conflict scenarios, force deployment timelines, and adversary capability assessments. Total: $42,000.
Eight days after the first payment, he sent one message: "I want to make sure I understand what I'm involved in here." The handler responded. He typed "Okay." Then sold classified war plans for nineteen more months.
