U.S. Security Officer Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Spy for China
A former security guard at a U.S. consulate in China pleaded guilty Thursday to trying to pass details on the new building's security systems to a Chinese spy agency, prosecutors say.
According to an article from Reuters, Bryan Underwood, 32, planned to sell information about the consulate being built in Guangzhou to China's Ministry of State Security for $3 million to $5 million, along with access to the site, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.
