| Epic Navy bribery scandal shows how easy it can be to steal military secrets |
| 2016-01-23 |
| For the foreign defense contractor, stealing U.S. Navy secrets turned out to be a breeze. All it took was a little cash, a few cheap gifts‐and a willing sailor. Daniel Layug, an enlisted sailor with a weakness for electronic bling, was an easy mark. Over a three-year period, he repeatedly downloaded classified documents and other sensitive information about Navy operations in Asia, and handed it over for a low, low price, according to federal court records. On Thursday, in U.S. District Court in San Diego, Layug became the first person to be sentenced in an epic corruption investigation Paywall is down. |

| #2 Likely U.S.D.C. due to that system's experience with this sort of thing, his legal talent figuring he'd get a better deal than going through a court-martial, and possibly because he agreed to 'cooperate' to get some bigger fish. |

(BTW, there's a states men's and women's prison in the town as well. Don't have to worry about downturns in 'business'.) |
