CONVICTED
Federal prosecutors accused the 73-year old man engineer of using his 30-year career at Boeing Co. and Rockwell to steal 300,000 pages of sensitive documents, including papers on the U.S. space shuttle and a booster rocket.
Prosecutors said investigators found papers stacked throughout Chung's house that included sensitive information about a fueling system for a booster rocket—documents that Boeing employees were ordered to lock away at the close of work each day. They said Boeing invested $50 million in the technology over a five-year period.
What motivated his conduct?
THIS?
According to the federal indictment, the Chinese were eager for his help. “We are all moved by your patriotism,” Professor Chen Lung Ku of the Harbin Institute of Technology wrote back in September 1979. “We’d like to join our hands together with the overseas compatriots in the endeavor for the construction of our great socialist motherland.”
